Our Holmes County Sheep, Rabbit, Goat, and Dairy Committees are excited to announce an essay giveaway contest! These giveaways are open to all 1st-year project participants, not just 1st-year 4-Hers. To enter, applicants must submit a short essay describing themselves and how they plan to care for the project animal (including housing, feeding, showing, and selling). 

All Essays must be submitted to the OSU Extension office by April 15 at 4:30 pm.

One winner will be selected for each species, with the exception of Goats and Dairy; these two committees are offering more than 1 giveaway. 

If interested, take the time to look through each species giveaway and pick one that's right for you.
