It is the responsibility of the 4-H / FFA member(s) to ensure that proper care is taken of their animal(s) by following acceptable methods of good animal husbandry. A healthy animal requires sufficient food, water, shelter, and appropriate health care. Specific animal husbandry guidelines and humane training methods are provided in 4-H / FFA manuals available upon request from the Butler County Extension Office. The Kansas 4-H / FFA Youth Development Policies, Best Management Practices, and Information states that “Youth should provide the primary care and training for livestock or animal projects for the duration of the project.” Primary care is defined as the 4-H / FFA member(s) making the decisions for and/or providing the care, handling, and training of their animal project a majority of the time.
