Abstract
Market steers are a popular 4-H project with many youth. While youth learn to select, feed, manage, and show their market animal, they also develop many important life skills. They learn how to solve problems, make good decisions, keep accurate records, and manage money. One of the outcomes of this process is that youth produce a market steer that hopefully meets or exceeds the quality standards set forth by the American beef industry. While youth beef projects make up less than 1% of the total beef produced in the United States, they still contribute a significant amount of product to the nation’s food supply.
