Leader: Ashley Tafoya
WHAT WE DO:
The 4-H Swine project is an exciting, rewarding and educational experience for 4-H members. Raising pigs requires little room, expense, equipment and even time. A market hog project can be completed in as little as four months, where a swine breeding project may go on for a few years. Activities include naming breeds, learning swine body parts, judging market hogs, exploring a digestive system, examining a healthy pig, identifying pork cuts, and practicing fitting and showing.
The following subject matters are explored in depth:
- Selection
- feeding
- swine management
- showing
- breeding swine
Meeting Dates/Times:
Thursday following monthly community club meeting
7pm
Requirements/Restrictions:
Members must be over the age of 9 to participate.
If you're interested in joining 4H or this project and you have not already signed up for it, then please contact the club, and we will be in touch to answer any questions you may have. The Club E-mail is [email protected]. We are looking forward to a fun and exciting year.
