About this listen

In this episode of The Extension Connection Podcast, we’re diving into the barn boots-first to explore how 4-H livestock projects build more than just blue ribbon animals—they build character. From learning how to bounce back after setbacks to developing discipline, commitment, and real-world soft skills, our 4-H’ers are gaining life lessons that go far beyond the show ring. Whether it’s a steer, a pig, a rabbit, or a goat, these projects teach youth the values of resilience, responsibility, and leadership—one feeding, one halter, and one show day at a time.

Tune in and discover how the barn becomes the classroom, and how livestock helps raise not just animals—but future leaders.
