- assist 4-H clubs and the 4-H livestock club members in the conduct of statewide livestock shows by approving and demonstrating leadership support and adopting good practices and livestock show ethics
- acquaint the public with the part played by 4-H club members in the livestock project, and
- establish rules and regulations for 4-H market livestock projects in order that they may culminate in a successfully statewide event.
