Essential Tips for New FFA & 4H Livestock Owners

As FFA or 4H participants prepare for fair season, ensuring new animals settle in healthily involves providing ample clean water with added electrolytes, thoroughly disinfecting pens and equipment with a bleach solution, and scrubbing water tanks to prevent contamination. Fresh feed and comfortable bedding, such as straw or shavings, should be ready to support the animals’ nutrition and rest.
