4-h projects?

Question

okay i need 2 decide on my 4-H projects for this year and im wondering really what vetrenary science is all about

and also, how many projects should people do their first year in 4-H cause ive found like 10 things that interest me

Answer 1

There sould be a project directly relating to vetrenary science. Reading lots of books is probably the best way to find out more.
As far as how many projects you should do, it depends on how old you are and if you are doing a record book. My first year I had like four projects and I finished my record book just in time. The next year I did like eight or seven and ended up leaving out all but a few of my projects in my book. I was eight/nine in my first year and nine/ten in my second. If your older you'll find it easier to write about your project and set goals than a younger person. The best thing is to stick to a few base project that really interest you. My main ones now are horse, creative arts, performing arts, photography and shooting sports. But that still is hard to find time to work on everything, since you have to set goals and all that stuff. Good Luck choosing your projects!

Answer 2

For veterinary science, most people research a disease or condition that affects livestock and make a poster or booklet about it. (This is what is common in Minnesota, I don't know about other states)

In your first year of 4-H you should pick the projects that interest you the most. I did 7 projects my first year, and I think it was a reasonable amount. If you need help, talk to an older member in your club or extension office staff. They should be happy to help you pick projects!

Good luck!

Answer 3

My first year in 4-H, I did about 3 projects as the 4-H was extremely small. When I switched to another 4-H, I picked up to 6 my second year and up to 14 I believe the last few years when I was a senior and group assistant leader. I started to attend State and In my 4th year is when I begin my Vet Science research, thesis and began to conduct more intense demonstrations and speeches at State Competitions (Sacramento at Rancho Murieta, love that place!). I have done things on worming, medical medications, Equine development from breeding to decease and everything in between. I shown horses and that was my field. I also was involved with growing crops, can foods, horse judging, arts in crafts etc. Each had their own set of projects I had to do in leadership etc.

A very good aid in research and in projects is to make a point to do ride along with your local vets. Go to ranch calls and hang out at the facility to watch and even participate if directed. That is one of the best learning experiences to have it done hands on training. Whether it is horses, cows, dogs, cats, sheep or other livestock that is offered in the 4-H

You should take on what you can handle pretty much. Your first year is when you are figuring things out and getting the hang of it. After you get used to it, you can start to take on bit more as you go into your 3rd and 4th etc.

Answer 4

This is my first year and i am doing 2 projects.
