The Nebraska 4‑H Fed Steer Challenge is an opportunity for youth ages 14 and up interested in learning more about the cattle industry and is designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders in the Nebraska cattle industry.
The goal of the Fed Steer Challenge is to enhance the educational value of traditional 4‑H beef projects by providing an affordable option that rewards production merit and carcass value of the market animal, along with accurate and complete record-keeping, industry knowledge and producer engagement by the 4‑H member.
Applications are due Dec. 1 for the 2025 program year. For more information and the application, go to https://4h.unl.edu/fed-steer-challenge.
