Animal Projects

4-H pledge

Raising a beef animal is fun and can help you to undergo personal growth and to learn skills that will help you to become a more responsible person. The skills learned in raising livestock also will carry over into other aspects of 4-H life.

In the 4-H Beef Program, members  have the opportunity to grow in the following areas:

Animal Care and Ownership

Honesty and Sportsmanship

Animal Health and Bio-security

Quality Assurance

Human Health

Ethics and Conduct


Raising an animal for market or education is a large commitment, but always meaningful, and details about each of the Santa Ynez 4-H animal projects for the 2007-2008 program year will be available soon, so please visit us again.

In the meantime, you can visit with us and with our four-legged friends at Santa Barbara Fair & Expo in April and Santa Barbara County Fair in July.
