♻️ Tub Recycle Program ♻️

Wheeler Ranch and Feed is excited to start a program in our community, where we give back 💯% of the proceeds back to our youth at the Butte County Fair!
We are accepting used protein & mineral tubs from local ranchers and selling them to the public for only $5! Then we will turn around and donate that $5 bill directly the Butte County Fair Junior Livestock Auction Committee, who upgrade the fair barns and livestock area for the youth FFA/4H/Grange and independent projects!

We are super excited to be able to give back to our community, and to a program we are so passionate about and have been for multiple generations.

These large tubs (originally carried 225lbs) are definitely for multipurpose use. They can be used as water troughs for your livestock, planters for your garden, organizer tubs and so much more! Endless possibilities and we would love to see what you do with them!

Available NOW! We are hopeful to make a large impact for both our customers with extremely LOW COST troughs, and benefit the BCF JLA with a sizable donation each year!

Do you have a skill or trade you'd like to share with youth? I encourage you to consider becoming a 4-H leader!

🍀 Common myths 🍀

Myth: It's livestock only. 🐄🐖🐐🐓🦃🐕🐑🐇

Truth: Almost anything can be a project from legos to cooking, art to robotics, blacksmithing and quilting. 🎨🧶👩‍🍳🤖

Myth: You must have kids.

Truth: Anyone can be a leader that completes the training requirements (online) and background check.

Myth: It's not much of a time commitment. ⌛⌛

Truth: It's 6 hours of learning a year more if you'd like!

Myth: I know nothing about 4-H and never did it I can't be a leader 😕

Truth: We have an excellent support system and Maisie @ the 4-H office (530) 552-5812 would love to get you started! 🍀🍀🥳

🍀🏅🎖️4-H has been one of the most rewarding activities I've had the honor of being involved in! I encourage anyone who has even thought about it to get more details so that these skills don't get lost in time. 🎖️🏅🍀
