Our Mission:
The primary objective of the Pierce County Livestock project is to educate members and provide them with a "real world", hands on experience that will not only teach them life skills but will also teach them proper herd management, animal health and feeding techniques so that they may learn the necessary skill set to produce quality animals for the consumer.
