4-H Youth Development
Livestock Show Team

Our livestock show team is a cooperative effort along with the Habersham FFA. Livestock exhibitors in Habersham County show cattle, lambs, goats and pigs at area and state-wide livestock shows. We currently have equipment, trailers and access to animals and sometimes facilities for kids interested in showing animals. Right now, Goats and Beef are king in Habersham County. If you would like us to add information about Lambs, Swine, or Dairy, let us know and we will post it here. Also, please contact the 4-H office for more information or to be placed on our email listserv of announcements at ahaygood@uga.edu or stevep@uga.edu.
