The Cornell University Department of Animal Science will host Animal Crackers 2020, “Bovine, Sheep and Swine – How Divine!” on Saturday, May 2, on the Cornell University campus. This year’s program will highlight dairy, beef, swine, and sheep topics. 4-H youth nine to 12 years old, or those with beginner to intermediate knowledge of the covered species, are invited to participate.
Interesting, educational, hands-on activities are planned to make Animal Crackers a memorable learning event. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about dairy or livestock care, biology, and management while having fun participating in a variety of interactive activities with 4-H members from across New York State.
There is a $15 fee per youth to attend the program. Adult chaperones are free and each group must have at least one chaperone. Attendees are asked to bring their own lunch.
