Poultry - Sheep - Beef - other animals

 We're focusing on Poultry and Sheep -- the animals our 4-H'ers have.

  • hands-on - we'll keep doing Fitting & Showmanship and Agility Training
  • care/housing - we're going to talk predators :-(
  • health - we talked about enrichments, and we'll cover health and 1st aid
  • anatomy (body)  - We've done skeletons & bones
  • nutrition - We've done body condition scoring
  • equipment - we built "enrichments" for our friends, we'll be making nest-box curtains for poultry kids and  a sheep grooming apron OR sheep show sheet. for our shepherds
  • general - we talked business plans!
Dates are currently set for:  
  • May 6,13, & 20
