Producing high quality meat is the purpose of market livestock projects. As Dr. Garcia discussed in her comments, you are all doing a great job! Because of growing exhibitor interest and continued production of excellent carcasses, our Pike County Farm to Fork program is a wonderful learning experience and a shining example of the value of 4-H livestock projects. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to having another excellent Farm to Fork program again in 2027. Be sure to indicate your interest in participating in Farm to Fork when you tag in your animals.

Good Luck to these Pike County 4-H Exhibitors participating in project judging at the Ohio State Fair on August 7th!
