Hey farmgirl, do you ever do meat chickens?
Also, what kind of goats do you have and for what purpose?
I'm not totally familiar with 4-H, so I don't know if you just raise the animals for show and then auction, or other purposes like your own food... so even a quick explanation of what 4-H is would be awesome! Thanks!

yes i have had meat chickens before i have had cornish crosses they are quite nice meat birds except becuase they are a meatbird if you dont butcher them at the right time there legs can break becuase they grow so fast weight wise but the calcium in their bones are not yet all the way devlop althought this is with any meatbird they were for 4-h though but we then did eat them
yes i have had goats for most my life i have right now pygmy and nigerian dwarf the dwarf is much simalar to the pygmy i have 3 goat right now one is a baby and 1 of the other 2 was bottled raised along with its brother that passed and we have those for 4-h they are not meat or dairy though most people at 4-h have meat or dairy goats
4-H is a club that i think is almost in every state if america and yes we raise them show them and we can only auction off one thing like i auction off a hog but the hogs have to be a fixed boy and the cows i do not show have to be a boy a goat i do not remeber what the rules are on it being auction we also auction rabbits and chickens they are not as popular though
you can also do gereal projects which you can do all kinds of art, outdoor things, intior design, wood work, sewing and textiles, robotics, elctricty, food show. also you can enter the tractor driving contest which if you are 12+ you drive a kabota garden tracor if you are younger you drive a lawn mower and you have to weave around these poles it is quite fun
you can show all types of animals even dogs and cats
fun night is the best though there is always a mud fight at he end although i think they are trying to do away with that
although there will always be one
and throughout the year preparing there is community activities and fun things to do it takes hard work anymore qestions i will be glad to answer
this guy was 6 months old and almost 8 pounds. He is wet in this picture...they were outside even when it was raining really hard. We also had a area that would flood when it rained, and the cornish crosses actually liked to wade and "swim" in the water. "
