Swine Skillathon – Feed Sample Studying Update

by

There is a new Swine Resource Handbook this year, with an expanded list of feeds. After consulting with local feed suppliers, I’ve learned that many of the new feeds listed many are not sold or requested locally, and those that look very similar to others that are already part of the kits we use for Skillathon.

Youth in the 11-12 year old age division (4-H Age) should study feed samples this year.

To see the feed samples included in the kit, visit the study guide: Swine Feed Sample ID.pdf
