TEXAS 4-H LIVESTOCK AND HORSE PROJECT

The Texas 4-H Livestock and Horse Project is a critical component of Texas 4-H and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. The agency recognizes the importance of the county 4-H Livestock and Horse Project across Texas. Specifically, the agency realizes the importance of connecting youth with livestock and horse projects and the positive influence this has in building future leaders and life skills.

The purpose of this resource guide is to orient new County Extension Agents on the Texas 4-H Livestock and Horse Project. The specific objectives are to:

• Provide a systematic approach in the orientation of all new County Extension Agents (Agriculture &
  Natural Resources and 4-H & Youth Development) related to their important roles in providing
  leadership and administrative oversight of a county 4-H livestock and horse program.
• Develop a training curriculum and modules to provide new County Extension Agents (Agriculture.
  & Natural Resources and 4-H & Youth Development) with a basic understanding of their roles and
  responsibilities related to “Managing County 4-H Livestock and Horse Projects.”
• Provide new County Extension Agents with reference materials to assist them in understanding rules and guidelines, critical deadlines, and dates related to all aspects of the junior livestock project in Texas.
• Establish new County Extension Agents’ recognition and clear understanding of the importance of
  volunteers in the junior livestock project.
• Assist new County Extension Agents in recognizing their role and the importance of developing key
  relationships with county livestock show boards and/or fair associations.
