2008 SRI 4-H Fair

 Want a challenge? 

Would you like to see just how much you know about livestock?  Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a swine project, own a beef animal or what goes into a livestock project?  Here’s a contest just for you! 

Overall Livestock Knowledge

Just complete an overall knowledge livestock test for your age group. 

The overall top scorer in the Junior, Intermediate and Senior divisions will win a special award.

2. This year there is only one test.  This test includes ALL 10 livestock groups!! You do not need to pick 4 livestock divisions.  Test resources are listed on this site with the livestock test info.
