Breeding Projects.  Breeding animal projects should be conducted in a manner that is supportive and complementary to the market livestock program policy. The minimum period of time for ownership (or as the primary caregiver) for beef, dairy, goat, sheep and swine breeding animals fed and exhibited at a 4-H sanctioned event will be 90 days, or as noted in the Idaho 4-H Project Requirement Handbook. If a project animal is leased by a 4-H member, a complete written and signed copy of the lease agreement must be returned to the county extension office by the required ownership date.
