2 ANIMAL HEALTH RECORDS Any animal that is to be shown at the 2006 Dixie National Junior Round-Up must have a completed health record listing all medications and treatments received within 60 days prior to the show. The completed health record on all market animals, commercial beef heifers, and commercial dairy heifers will be turned in to show management at weigh-in of the animals. Completed health records on beef breeding cattle and purebred dairy cattle will be turned in to show management at the check-in of registration papers. 2 REMINDER 2006 DISTRICT AND JUNIOR ROUND-UP SHOWS!! PURCHASING PROJECT ANIMALS FOR SPRING SHOWS Spring shows will be here soon. Now is a good time to run a final survey of your 4-H ers to determine if additional purchases are needed, and be locating them. The only ownership deadlines that have passed are for steers, market goats, and lambs. So all other project animals can still be purchased. Ownership deadlines on project animals for spring shows are: Market Goats - October 1 Beef Breeding - December 1 Market Lambs - August 1 Commercial Beef Heifers - December 1 Steers - August 1 Hogs - December 1 Purebred Dairy - December 1 Dairy Goats - December 1 Commercial Dairy Heifers - December 1 CATTLE REGISTRATION PAPERS FOR JUNIOR SHOWS Double check registration papers on breeding beef and purebred dairy to be sure they are in proper order. Now is the time to correct any problems. Remember that papers must be in the 4-H ers name only. Farm names or joint ownership with adults are not acceptable. DON T ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING IS RIGHT CHECK!! Papers may be in multiple siblings names provided they are all 18 years of age or younger. ENTRIES FOR DISTRICT & ROUND-UP SHOWS Now is the time to be getting your entries in order. You will be getting more information soon about these events. All purebred dairy, commercial dairy heifers, beef breeding, commercial beef heifers and dairy goats will be entered on the computer program like we did for State Fair. These entries will be due Friday, January 6, STEERS, COMMERCIAL BEEF HEIFERS, COMMERCIAL DAIRY HEIFERS, AND MARKET GOATS Double check with your 4-H ers who are exhibiting steers, commercial beef heifers, commercial dairy heifers, and market goats about horns. All commercial beef heifers, steers and market goats showing at the District and Round-Up Shows must be polled or dehorned, with no scurs or regrowth to exceed 1½ inches above the skin. All commercial dairy heifers must be dehorned. Too often with a poor job of dehorning, regrowth may occur. Now is the time to take off the horns or any regrowth to allow for proper healing. Registered heifers are not eligible for the commercial heifer shows.

Participation was up in the lamb and commercial dairy heifer shows, along with the Senior 4-H Livestock Judging Contest. The State Fair was again an excellent event and a showcase for the junior livestock program in Mississippi. The number of people involved in these events at the shows were very impressive. Agents, leaders, parents, and exhibitors are to be commended on their fine cooperation and dedicated work put into this event to make it successful. Congratulations!
