The mission of the Teton County Livestock Committee will ethically guide the integrity of 4-H members to be successful in their animal projects and will conduct the Teton County 4-H show and sale in the same manner.  We will be true, honest, and forthright in all dealings in our community. We will set a positive example and encourage camaraderie among all those involved in the Teton County 4-H program.

Purposes:

  • To teach a greater understanding of meat animal evaluation, livestock husbandry, and ethical showmanship.
  • To provide incentive and to encourage greater participation in livestock projects.
  • To provide leadership opportunities for youth within the committee structure.
  • To recognize members who do quality work in selecting, feeding, and showing livestock projects.
  • To provide 4-H members an opportunity to have their market livestock projects evaluated.
  • To establish rules and enforce compliance of regulations for participation in the Teton County Fair.
  • To examine and act upon issues and concerns expressed by the membership.
