4-H Sheep

4-H Sheep Project

The 4-H Sheep Program provides youth with a fun, hands-on learning experience that helps develop both sheep-related skills (such as nutrition, housing, and healthcare) and life skills (such as responsibility, decision-making, nurturing, and communication) under the guidance of caring adults. Activities such as workshops and tours further enrich the learning process.
