Project Objectives
The objectives of the SC Meat Goat Project are to learn the basic principles of animal science by owning and caring for a project goat. Youth have the opportunity to learn and demonstrate knowledge of feeding ad management practices, identify types and grades of animals, learn about marketing methods, will identify quality in wholesale and retail cuts of animal products and understand their relationship to management practices. By participating in this project, youth will develop integrity, sportsmanship, decision-making capability, and public speaking skills through participation in demonstrations, tours, judging, and exhibits. Youth will learn the value of scientific research and its influence upon animals and the meat industry and will demonstrate budgeting and record-keeping skills when they return the Project Record Book.
