Livestock Service Learning Project
During sale night many folks who purchase animals do not need the meat themselves and are supporting the child and the benefits of the project, so they decide to sell back the animal. Those animals that are sold back are purchased at a floor price established before the sale. For the last two years, grant funding has purchased all of the animals and paid for all of the processing for those animals to be donated to local food pantries.
6 goats, 8 lambs, 3 hogs, and 5 cattle for a total of 4,300lbs raised by 17 4-Her's were donated to local food pantries in 2022.
In total, since 2019 Fauquier 4-Her's have raised and helped to donate 142,980 servings of protein thanks to granting organizations the Path Foundation and the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation!
