Knowing the science, safety, and nutrition that goes into eating well allows us to make the best choices for ourselves and our families. 4-H Alberta’s Foods project lays the foundation that every chef relies on by teaching proper food prep techniques, safe […]
Sheep
Check out this ever-growing project where members cover topics such as management, digestion, nutrient requirements, animal health and breeding throughout their project year, with the end goal being to gain an increased understanding of sheep production and management. Here is a document to help sheep members buy a lamb. This will suggest what the weight […]
Equine
Equine project members learn all aspects of working with horses in Horsemanship Levels 1 to 3, starting with the basics of riding, safe horse care, and stable management.
