The members of Tollgate Farm 4-H Club are preparing animal projects for the Oakland County Fair, July 5th – July 14th. Some youth are working hard on Market Animal projects. These projects are especially challenging since they involve auctioning the animal at the fair. Why do they do it?
A Market Lamb Project or Market Roaster Chicken Project gives youth hands-on experience raising livestock and working on a farm. It is a big responsibility for these showmen. Often, they have an interest in animal science and may aspire to become a vet. Some just enjoy learning new things. Beyond animal husbandry, the youth learn valuable marketing skills as they work to sell their animal.
Please consider supporting these hard working youth by heading up to the Oakland County Fair and bidding on their animals.
Large animal auction: Oakland County Fair, Saturday July 13th, 6:30 PM
