10 4H202 IOWA 4-H LIVESTOCK SHOW REQUIREMENTS Animal Identification, Weighing, and Exhibiting Requirements for County, State and Interstate Shows Many 4-H ers enroll in projects that involve animals. 4-H ers can share what they have learned by their involvement in animal projects in a number of ways. Many choose to share at a fair. Counties and the Iowa State Fair Board have established an animal science class in which 4-H ers can create an exhibit highlighting some aspect of learning through an animal project. The 4-H er need not own or care for an animal to select this form of participation. 4-H ers choosing to exhibit animals must meet uniform state 4-H regulations as outlined in this publication. These guidelines apply to county, state and interstate shows. GENERAL AGE REQUIREMENTS County Fair Must have completed 4th grade State Fair Must have completed 5th grade Ak-Sar-Ben Must have completed 5th grade A 4-H er is eligible through 12th grade (or that equivalent). These grade requirements apply unless a particular show is more restrictive. A 4-H er becomes ineligible to exhibit beyond the county level upon completion of the calendar year of high school graduation. Note: In the event that a 4-H er has dropped out of high school, the 4-H er is only eligible to exhibit livestock through the calendar year that his/her class graduated. 4-H ers must be in good standing within their county to make entry to a state or interstate show. Any 4-H er who violates the code of ethics or other fair rule may be denied entry and exhibition at a state or interstate show. FOOD SAFETY & QUALITY ASSURANCE (FSQA) 4-H ers exhibiting livestock at both county fairs and the State Fair in (beef, dairy, meat goat, poultry, rabbit, sheep, swine) are required to be certified in FSQA County offices implement FSQA so contact your county office for training and testing details GENERAL ANIMAL REQUIREMENTS An animal may be identified by only one 4-H er * See Ownership Requirements section for exceptions involving horses. Animals identified as part of a 4-H project cannot also be identified or exhibited as an FFA project. 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. Animals offered for sale in an animal auction, whether live or online, are considered to have changed ownership. This applies even if bought back by the original owner or if the owner refuses a bid or says, No Sale. Exhibitors may participate in a ribbon auction as long as they don t sell the project animal. All animals must meet health requirements as outlined by the state veterinarian. All animals must be in the care of the 4-H er. OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS All animals must be owned by the 4-H er, and identified with an individual 4-H er. When registration papers are involved, the papers must be in the 4-H er s name or show a logical family relationship. For example, Jones Family Farms shows a logical family relationship to Emily Jones, but B&G Farms does not. For specific beef registration requirements, refer to Iowa Junior Beef Breeds rules. Animals changing ownership after being identified for a project are ineligible to be exhibited as 4-H animals for that 4-H year. EXCEPTION TO OWNERSHIP: Horses may be leased as 4-H projects. The 4-H er must complete a lease form. Only riding or driving horses are eligible for lease; horses in halter, or conformation classes, must be owned by the 4-H er. EXCEPTION TO INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFICATION: If a family includes more 4-H ers than horses, more than one 4-H er may identify the same horse.
11 IMPORTANT DEADLINES FEBRUARY 1: All market steers and market heifers must be owned and identified by February 1. By the time of the weighin, the animal(s) must be cared for by the 4-H er. All State Fair market beef must be tagged, weighed, have retinal images collected and entered in 4hOnline. MAY 15: All other animals, with the exception of pets and poultry, must be owned and identified by May 15 (rabbits must be identified by July 1).

These animals are ineligible to show at 4-H shows held before September 1. WEIGHING AND TAGGING Weighing and tagging must be conducted under the direction of either state or county 4-H Program staff. Weigh-in information can be collected on paper identification forms. Extension staff are responsible for entering weigh-in information (i.e. tag, weight, etc.) into 4hOnline, where after, the 4-H er can confirm accuracy and completeness. Ear tags must be ordered through the State 4-H Office. REGIONAL/NATIONAL SHOW REQUIREMENTS This publication states only Iowa 4-H requirements regarding age of the exhibitor and animal identification and weighing requirements for county, state, and interstate shows. Each livestock show prints a premium book outlining rules and regulations for that particular show. In some cases, show rules require advance knowledge and action in order to be eligible to exhibit at that show. Ak-Sar-Ben, American Royal, NAILE and the National Western Stock Show are examples; they require DNA samples. Most regional and national shows post premium book and entry information on their website. County Extension staff are responsible for seeing that premium lists and entry forms are available to 4-H ers entering these shows. Youth are responsible for knowing the rules contained in the premium book. Extension staff may be required to certify entries for youth exhibiting at regional/national shows, so staff should be sufficiently familiar with the rules to be sure they are certifying entries that meet both the show requirements as well as the Iowa 4-H requirements contained in this publication.
