Small Animals
Box Elder County 4-H offers a dynamic range of small animal programs—including dog, rabbit, chicken, pigeon, and turkey projects—that provide youth with hands-on learning experiences. Through these programs, participants develop responsibility, animal husbandry skills, and confidence as they care for and train their animals. The 4-H dog program, for instance, focuses on obedience, showmanship, and agility, fostering self-confidence and independence in youth.
Utah Junior Turkey Show
Most everyone knows 4-H and FFA are organizations that help youth develop skills they will use for the rest of their lives. Youth are able to develop skills such as how to run a meeting, express opinions in front of a group, set goals, and be responsible for caring and feeding of a livestock project. Through these experiences, members gain leadership, self-confidence and develop trust and responsibility. The Utah State Junior Turkey Show is just one of many programs that assist youth in developing these traits.
