About:
Raising livestock in the FFA is one of the activities our members most anticipate. We provide students with the opportunity to care for an animal and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Birdville FFA offers a variety of livestock species and breeds to choose from. Overall, raising an animal for the fair is a fantastic SAE project that teaches students valuable skills such as responsibility and accounting.
