This project is a chapter in an intermediate Tennessee 4-H curriculum guide designed to educate those 3-5 years into a Tennessee 4-H program about the gastrointestinal tract of sheep and the common feedstuffs used in sheep nutrition. There are informational portions about different types of nutrients, the parts of the sheep digestive tract, common feedstuffs, and reading a feed tag. Located at the end of the chapter are 5 activities created to test some of the key ideas within the chapter.

While we worked on a single chapter, again, there are multiple chapters within the curriculum guide. To see an example of a completed curriculum guide, please explore this link: https://utia.tennessee.edu/publications/wp-content/uploads/sites/269/2023/12/W1204.pdf
