The Breeding Stock project creates an incentive for 4-H and FFA exhibitors to carry Livestock Projects and provide an educational experience for all 4-H and FFA exhibitors that will enhance personal growth, responsibility, and expand their knowledge of the livestock industry. The Breeding Stock project provides an educational “learning by doing” activity that allows 4-H and FFA exhibitors to take a livestock project from a young animal to the marketable product and gives them experience in keeping production and financial records and improves herdsmanship of individual and club exhibits. Finally the Breeding Stock project encourages good sportsmanship and develop a cooperative attitude that will lead to a general sharing of knowledge and skills among project exhibitors.
