• Connecting 4-H & FFA Livestock Projects to real-world agriculture

    The Market Livestock Project is more than showing livestock. Beef, sheep, swine and meat goat project members have the opportunity to learn more about the industry through livestock judging, quiz bowl, meats judging and various workshops.

  • Learning by doing and making the best better

    Through hands-on opportunities, hard work and dedication, Fond du Lac County Market Livestock Project members learn by doing and to make the best better.

We teach, learn, lead and serve, connecting people with the University of Wisconsin, and engaging with them in transforming lives and communities.
