The responsibility of entering animal info into 4-H online, ear tagging animals, and collecting DNA and/or hair samples will be that of the exhibitor and/or parent.
***Agents/FFA Advisor MUST be present and can assist.**
The district and/or State Show manager must be notified within (7) seven days after the validation deadline to be considered for a validation hardship. After contacting District and/or State Show Manager, hardship forms must be immediately submitted with supporting material and stating hardship. These hardships will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by parish agent, district show manager, and state show manager. Only cases where it is determined to have been unavoidable will the exhibitor be allowed to validate. This decision will be final and not subject to appeal.
The 4-H Livestock project allows youth to learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills through hands-on learning opportunities. A child raises an animal while learning about the science and responsibility that goes into the care of that species. They then get to show off that animal at the parish, district, and state livestock show with their peers. They have the chance to win prizes and scholarships while learning teamwork with their friends and mentors from around the parish. Participants gain independent responsibility, knowledge of production agriculture, and science through their projects. Youth can participate in the following project areas: Beef Cattle, Miniature Cattle, Dairy Cattle, Goat, Chickens, Rabbit, Sheep, and Swine. For more information on how you can help a child become involved with a livestock project, please contact the 4-H office. Your agents would be happy to help the kids decide a livestock project that fits their family’s needs.
