Want to see your family’s Jr. Livestock animals excel? Use the 4-h livestock calculators. USU Extension created the livestock weight calculators to assist youth and their leaders. The web address is https://extension.usu.edu/4H-Livestock-Calculator/. The calculators can be used to reliably predict a market animal's weight as well as the average daily weight gain. The calculators include examples for beef, swine, sheep, and goats, but can also be useful for calculating the values described above for many other species. Additionally, the calculators work well when environmental conditions remain relatively constant, e.g., housing, rations, exercise, etc.

Embrace nature's goodness and nourish your body with delicious produce. Enjoy crisp green salads, juicy fruit salads, or colorful stir-fries, and make it a goal to add more fresh fruits and veggies to your meals this month and beyond.
