Livestock Project

Directions: Each of you will choose a livestock animal to create a poster to share with the class.  Any pictures on the poster need to be printed out in color, or drawn with color.  All words on the poster must be typed out or written neatly with permanent marker.  Anything that is being glued on the poster needs to have backing paper (construction paper).  You will be sharing these with the class so make sure the words and pictures are big enough for everyone to see!!

You will need to include the following information on your poster:

□ Title: you can simply put the name of your livestock animal, or come up with something creative!

□ A picture of the animal you chose (if you have a specific breed make sure you have the correct picture)

□ What is the purpose of your animal? (think of food, fiber, work, and look on the internet for other uses too!) I would like at least 5 different uses of your animal, and if you put more, it will be extra credit

□ A picture that goes with each purpose. For example: if the purpose of your animal is meat, you could put a picture of a steak.  You will have a total of 5 pictures.

□ Do we raise this animal in Montana?

□ If we do raise this animal in Montana, where in the state is it raised? Include a picture of the county/town/region.                                                                                                     

□ Where did your animal originate?

□ A picture of where your animal originated

□ An interesting fact that you found while researching about your livestock animal!

** You will be graded on neatness, spelling/grammar/punctuation, and each requirement above!
