This is the project that many people visualize when they think of 4-H.
In this project, members obtain a feeder calf and raise it to market weight.
This process takes at least six months, and usually more. Some members
plan to show and sell their animals at local, county or State fairs. Others
raise their steers as a strictly commercial venture, selling the finished
animal directly to a packer, to neighbors, at auction or adding it to the
home meat supply.
