The Austin County Fair Bucket Calf Program took part in the progress show held August 21, 2022, at the Austin County Fairgrounds.  The Bucket Calf Program introduces young children, 4- 8 years old, to the care and responsibility of raising a calf.  The raising of a calf is a family project, and the child works with their parents to bottle feed an orphaned calf sourced from local auction barns or ranchers.  Throught the program children learn to feed, halter break and show their calf.
