Kinder Farm Park Livestock

Kinder Farm Park 4-H Livestock Club teaches our youth valuable life skills and a basic understanding of agriculture and its importance in society. Cows, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry are just some of the animals that our 4-H members and adult volunteers work with. Our members are also given the opportunity to compete at 4-H competitions and the County Fair.
