Youth learn about selection, care, and feeding of livestock, animal health, and importance of good record keeping. Emphasis for these projects continues to be focused on life skill development. The goal of the Ohio 4-H Animal Science Program is to develop and foster life skills through positive interactions with others; to teach scientific principles of Animal Science to young people and to increase the awareness of animal industry issues among youth. Animal clinics sponsored by OSU Extension give youth and adults the opportunity to build upon skills in their respective project area. Participants learn in a fun environment about various topics such as nutrition, health, reproduction, and grooming and showing skills. I hope our 4-H youth, parents and advisors will take full advantage of learning more about raising and showing a livestock project by attending our July 11 clinics at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. We can always learn something new or pick up a new trick of the trade. Don t forget our motto: To Make the Best Better. So ask yourself, What am I doing this year to improve my project knowledge and skills as a 4-H member? Sincerely, Bruce Zimmer Extension Educator 4-H Youth Development July 2015 Issue

2 Members must attend Special Interest Project Judging to have their project scored so they can be eligible to purchase a Junior Fair pass. At judging, members will be interviewed by a judge who will look at the project and ask questions about things the member has learned. The judge will score the project as Superior, Excellent, or Good. State Fair Qualifiers and Alternates and Award Winners will be selected from members attending Judging Day, not from those attending make-up judging. Posters for judging should be no larger than a ½ sheet of poster board. The time that your project will be judged is included in this July 4-H Express Newsletter. *Make-up Judging* To attend Make-up Judging members must submit a written letter of request explaining why make-up judging is needed. All letters are due Tuesday, July 7 to the Extension Office. The 4-H Committee will review letters for approval or disapproval. *State Fair Qualification* Projects in your 4-H Member Handbook marked with an asterisk(*) are eligible to go to the state fair. If a project is eligible for State Fair, qualifiers and alternates will be selected from 4-H members receiving Superior ratings. State Fair qualifiers and alternates will be chosen from members attending Special Interest Project Judging Day, not from those attending make-up judging. *Project Awards* For each Special Interest Project judged on Tuesday, July 14 at the Coulson Building, a maximum of two awards may be given: Outstanding of the Day and Honorable Mention. Outstanding of the Day winners will be selected from projects receiving a Superior rating. Award winners will be recognized with rosettes. 4-H members must participate in Animal Project Judging or make-up judging to be eligible to exhibit an animal at the Monroe County Fair and to purchase a Junior Fair Pass.

In the past you have had the opportunity to make a poster if you wanted and then it would be judged later by the 4-H Committee.
