Dog
Our dog program also sponsors many events throughout the year. From dog judging to agility events to dog shows and even training assistance dogs, youth enrolled in the dog project are busy year round. We also host an annual Dog Caper that draws young people and their pooches from across the state.
Livestock
Youth participate in the livestock program areas to learn how to effectively breed and raise market animals. Our program consists primarily of beef, sheep and swine; dairy and fiber animals, as well as some companion animals are included as well.

In addition to showing livestock at the Evergreen State Fair and surrounding fairs in the area, youth may choose to participate in our livestock judging program. Our county has been honored to sponsor several young people to the National 4-H Dairy Competitions and National 4-H Livestock Competitions.
For more information on these programs, please call the 4-H Office.
Small Animals
Rabbits, cavies, poultry and cat projects make up our Small Animal Program. Youth engaged in these project areas learn how to care for their animal and participate in competitive shows to demonstrate their ability to work with their animal. We host three shows each year, as well as facilitate the small animal exhibits at the Evergreen State Fair.
For more information on these programs, please call the 4-H Office.
