This is my first year raising a market Turkey. I learned a lot about what they need to love and thrive. I found out they love to listen to music when we are outside.

Olivia's Market Turkey Project

Hi my name is Cassidy this is my last year of 4-h and I decided to make it count by showing broiler chicks and getting the learning experience with them. I enjoyed this project because it gave me a new opportunity to try something new and also watch my birds grow up. Being able to watch them grow is such a learning experience on how much time and dedication it takes to put into an auction animal and make them the best quality you can for potential buyers. I’m glad I was given the chance and opportunity to try a new project on my last year.

Cassidy's Market Broilers

My name is Katie. This is my first year raising broilers. We start them in the house under a heating lamp, then we moved them outside. They grow fast and are fun to take care of.

My name is Ryan. This is my 4th year raising broilers. They have taught me a lot. They only take about 7 weeks to reach market weight so they eat a lot! I enjoy watching them grow and feeding them everyday.

Jaydyn-Lyn's Market Hog - "Be Syked"

Memphis Finch Market Hog project -“Snouts is a Yorkshire Hampshire cross barrow born February 11th. Memphis bought Snouts, his first pig, on April 11th. Snouts was a little young and a bit small for our July fair but Memphis was determined this was the one and it fit in his budget. Memphis favorite part of raising Snouts was getting to play with him and sharing him with his siblings. Memphis enjoys when his pig makes pig noises, or as he says “when Snouts snouts”.”
