The 4-H Market Steer Project teaches most of the things youth will need to know to raise a 4-H market steer. Youth should complete six activities per year.
Twelve activities are required and should be completed in the first two years of the project.
After the first two years, six activities should be selected from either the suggested activities list of this book, or from the 4-H Skills for Life series, if the county uses them.
