The most complex type of beef project is the breeding project. In this
program the 4-H member keeps one or more cows and breeds them to produce
calves for show, for sale as weaned feeders or for transfer to their own
backgrounding , marketor heifer projects. The cows may be registered purebreds
or commercial grades and crossbreds, depending on the market and desired
off-farm activities of the 4-H member.
