Adams County 4-H Swine Project

The Colorado 4-H Swine Project teaches youth how to care for, feed, and manage pigs while developing responsibility, goal setting, and record-keeping skills. Beginners learn about pig nutrition, anatomy, diseases, and producing safe products. Intermediate members focus on management practices, exhibiting swine, and production technology. Advanced participants gain leadership experience and explore careers.
