1 GROWS Wright County 4-H Newsletter May H Family Summer is right around the corner, and before we know it we will be at the County Fair! Make sure to mark your calendar with important dates and deadlines within this newsletter. Fair books just came in today, I am working with leaders to get your fair book to you. One fair book is given per-family and this comes from your club leader. Wright County 4-H shirts are available at the Extension office, these are the green ones with the white print. Remember all 4-H youth need to wear a 4-H shirt during judging times at fairs. Reminder: Just because you verified an animal for fair (county or state) does NOT mean that it is a fair entry. The entry is the second step and for county this is done on paper and a fee paid at my office by June 9th. For the state fair entry process, that needs to be done by July 1 and this is done online. State Fair books and entry forms will be on the web. If you have questions please make sure to ask. Making the Best Better!

5 FSQA (FOOD SAFETY QUALITY ASSURANCE) All 4-H youth with a beef, dairy, swine, sheep, rabbit, goat and poultry project MUST be Food Safety Quality Assurance (FSQA) certified to show at county and state fairs. If you do not have a current FSQA certificate call Jessica ASAP. Last Test Out will be held on (must call to sign youth up for test out time): Monday, May 8 from 3:30pm-7:30pm at the Extension office It is the intent that all Wright County 4-H ers/ffa be completed with their test or have attended a workshop by May 15th. MAY 15 DEADLINE ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION For all species of animals to be shown at County, other county, Clay County and State Fairs must have their animals identified (ID) through 4HOnline. Animals included swine, horses, poultry, rabbits, dairy, pets, breeding beef & sheep, so basically anything that breathes and eats. Market beef and sheep have or will be ID d at weigh-in. All animal ID s need to be entered into 4hOnline by 11:59 pm on Monday, May 15th. Families/youth need to ID animal through their 4hOnline account. If there are families/youth who need access to computer/internet can come into the office, we will have one for you to use. Jessica also has extended office hours to help families/youth either with questions, or want to have what they entered doubled checked by Jessica, or if need computer/internet. Extra office hours: Friday, May 5th 9am-5pm, Monday, May 8th 1pm-7pm, Wednesday, May 10th 9am-7pm, Thursday, May 11th 7am 2pm. Please use this time to call with 4-HOnline ID questions or stop in for help or to use the computer/ internet. No paper copies turned in this year. ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION 4-H/FFA A reminder that an animal may be identified by only one youth. Animals identified as part of the 4-H project CANNOT also be identified or exhibited as an FFA project or vice versa. Youth however may identify separate animals in the same division. For example, a youth may ID market lambs A, B and C in 4-H, and market lambs D, E and F in FFA, or horses A and B in 4-H and horses C and D in FFA. When exhibiting the youth may only exhibit under 4-H or FFA at a county/state fairs. So the youth may show market lambs A, B, and C that have been ID under 4-H at the Wright County fair under 4-H, then show market lambs D, E, and F that have been nominated under FFA at the State Fair under FFA. If youth wanted to exhibit lambs under both organizations at the State Fair or even county, then the youth would need to exhibit Market under organization and breeding under the other organization. This would be the only way for the youth to exhibit lambs under both FFA and 4-H at the county fair. There are some animals that the youth can only exhibit at a fair under one organization. 5
