MARCH 2013 

Now is a good  me to set goals for what you want to do in 4‐H.  Many of you have already set some goals and completed them. Maybe your goal was to purchase a calf and learn how to care for your animal.  Some of you have set a goal of applying for a Record Keeping Project award.  Many of you will be se ng goals on what you want to exhibit at the fair. A GOAL is…deciding what you want to do and learn in a 4‐H Project. 

A Goal has 3 parts 

The ac on:  how you are going to do it. 

The result: what you will do. 

The  metable: when you plan to have it done. 

Ac on                                   Result                                                   Timetable 

I want to make                       three nutri ous snacks                     by June 1. 

        I want to look at the 4‐H Hot Sheets to learn what I can do as a presenta on by the April club mee ng. Can you tell what the ac on is, the result, and when it needs to be done by?  

Set goals that: 

Are specific (not too general or broad) 

Meet your needs and interests 

Provide you an opportunity for achievement 

Can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of  me

Food Safety Workshop for 4-H Leaders | March 21

Does your club have a fundraiser involving a meal? Do you have members serve treats at your meeting? Do you have cooking presentations during your meeting?

Shooting Sports Training

Shooting Sports training will be held on April 5 – 7 at the Iowa 4-H Camping Center. Interested participants must be enrolled in 4-H Online and go through a background check before the SESS training. This is a great opportunity for adults to learn about a shooting sports discipline and help to enrich the lives of young people. We currently have equipment and a location for air rifle and archery. We would love to build our shooting sports club and offer more courses and events for our Woodbury 4-H’ers. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an Instructor please contact Laura Johnson or Adrienne Jansen at the Woodbury County Extension Office, 712-276-2157, for more information!

E-Mail Lujean at faber@iastate.edu or call 276-2157 to sign up for this leaders workshop. There are a few leaders that still need to do make-up sessions for last spring training and the training we had in the fall on risk management.

4-H Livestock Show Requirements

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. 4-H’ers choosing to exhibit animals must meet uniform state 4-H regulations as outlined in the 4-H 202 Iowa 4-H Livestock Show Requirements. These guidelines apply to county, state and interstate shows. This publication tells 4-H’ers how many animals may be identified, important deadlines and if an animal needs to have a retinal scan or DNA. Families can download their own copy at the Iowa 4-H Livestock Page located at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/projects/livestock - look for 4-H 202 – State ID Requirements. While you are at that site see the 2013 State Fair changes.

4-H members must identify their livestock projects in 4-H Online for the Woodbury County Fair. This will replace the May 15 paper form that was turned in. Forms may be requested for families who do not have internet access by calling our office at 712-726-2157. Animals that must be Identified in 4-H Online are: Breeding Heifers, Feeder Calf, Cow/Calf, Dairy Cat-tle, Dairy Goats, Horse, Dog, Swine and Llamas. Woodbury County 4-H does not require 4-H’ers to identify Poultry, Rabbit or Small Pets for county fair. Market livestock which includes Market Steers, Market Heifers, Market Sheep and Pig-of-Merit Swine that attended their county weigh in do not have to be entered. Animals must be in 4-H Online by 11:59 pm on May 15. 4-H’ers who still want to fill out paper ID forms can also request those forms BEFORE May 15, OR you can download your own forms by going to the Iowa 4-H Livestock page at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/projects/livestock - just click on one of the animals listed and an ID form can be found on that animal webpage (except for llamas – those 4-H’ers will have to ID in 4-H Online or request a county ID form). Cow/Calf and Feeder Calf can use the Beef Breeding ID form or go into 4-H Online.

NEW in 2013| County Livestock ID’s now on 4honline

4-H’ers planning to exhibit animals at the Iowa State Fair MUST identify their animals in 4-H Online by11:59 pm on May 15. 4-H members may do that by going to: https://iowa.4honline.com/ Animals that need to be ID’ed in 4-H Online for State Fair include: Dog, Horse, Dairy Cattle, Feed-er Calf, Dairy Goats, Breeding Beef (Market Beef have already been entered), Sheep and Swine.

Want to find out what you can do in a project area? Do you want to learn about the different projects you could take to the fair? What are leadership, citizenship and communication ideas that can help you in your project award appli-cation or goal forms? What websites can help you with additional information about your project? You can find all that information on each project area on the Iowa 4-H website.

4honline News & Updates Anytime a 4-H family has a change in address, phone number and email it is important to send your updated infor-mation to the Woodbury County Extension office. For families to enroll in 4-H, enter livestock, sign up for state fair and enroll in other 4-H events in 4-H Online – it is very important to have a current email and an email that families look at often. With more and more 4-H information being sent via email, it’s important that 4-H families check their email. Please send your email changes to Lujean Faber at faber@iastate.edu.

Continue to go into 4-H Online :https://iowa.4honline.com/

4-H Families will need to go online to ID animals for State Fair, verify market animals and sometimes event register for events like State Fair. If you haven’t already gone into 4-H Online to verify the liability clause for your fami-ly. It is important you do that NOW! There are quite a few 4-H member who are still pending – you need to sub-mit payment as soon as possible to the Woodbury County Extension office. There are a handful of 4-H’ers who cre-ated a new profile – but shouldn’t have because they were already in 4-H last year. That takes extra staff time to straighten that out. Whenever you have questions about 4-H Online please don’t hesitate to call the Woodbury County Extension Office at 712-276-2157.

4-H Poultry Information

Mike and Michael Beavers have accepted the positions as 2013 Woodbury County Fair Poultry Superintendents along with Jared Schramm. You may call the Poultry Superintendents with any questions at (712) 944-5140. The superintendents remind you that this is the time to select your Poultry entries whether you are purchasing them or you raise them yourself. ALL entries MUST be pullorum-typhoid free. If you purchase from a pullorum free breeder, they can give you a verification certificate - be sure to ask (no individual scraps of paper or receipts will be accepted at fair time)! You MUST show your certificates to show at the fair. We hope to have a testing day in the future. Keep watching your 4-H Scene for information. All poultry are healthier and show better if they are mite and lice free, be sure to be aware of your bird's condition and treat accordingly - spray/dip are available at the various pet stores. Poultry have certain standards to meet such as type, sex, color, size etc. We encourage you to enjoy reading about and studying your bird types. We also encourage you to participate in showmanship. You will perform well IF you know what you are showing! The judges love to listen to 4H'ers tell the story of their entries! For more information on 4-H Poultry go to the Iowa 4-H website at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/projects/poultry, or check out the standard of Poultry book at the Extension Office. Mike and Michael Beaver feel that "questions are the answer". If you have any questions, please check the Fairbook for your answers. If you cannot find the answer there, you can always give them a call.

Games Needed for Children’s Miracle Network The Banner Boosters 4-H Club is working on a community service project. The project is for Children’s Miracle Net-work. When children are happy they heal and recover faster. The Pediatric floor only has a Cube gaming system and Xbox gaming system on wheels and only a few games. They also have a portable DVD player. The patients would love to have more games to choose from for all ages, DVD movies for ages 12-17, and even different gaming devic-es. The Banner Boosters are looking to purchase slightly used electronic gaming devices such as Play Station sys-tems, Xbox systems, DS systems and any games that will work with the systems, and DVD movies that are for ages 12-17. So far the Banner Bootsers 4-H Club has found and been able to purchase a very slightly used DS, with a case, a charger, and 2 fashion games.
