Project Information:

In the 4-H Beef project, members will learn how to identify various beef breeds and parts of a beef animal, halter-break and show a calf, fit and judge beef cattle, and raise a healthy animal.

Note: 4H members must be in the 5th grade or higher to enroll in this project. In order to represent Kenosha County 4-H at any exhibitions, members must be in “good standing” as set forth by the Beef Education Team standards which includes earning 3 education points. The beef project collects a $25.00 project/sponsorship fee per family.

If the member plans to bring a market animal to show and sell, it must be in your possession, weighed and tagged at weigh-in which occurs in November.

Members can also show beef in breeding stock. These animals don’t get tagged or weighed in. Those who show breeding stock at any fair or exhibition will still need to meet project requirements
