HERDSMANSHIP, for both large and small animals, will be judged Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. A cash award will be given to the club with the highest overall 3

• day score for each of the large animals species and the

small animals (judged separately). Daily winners in each species will be awarded a bucket of candy and a cash

• award. Judging will be based upon cleanliness, neatness,

educational displays, decoration, and exhibitor attendance at stalls. The purpose of this contest is to encourage exhibitors to care for their animals and equipment properly, to keep pens and stalls clean, and to present a pleasing and educational exhibit to the general public.

GUIDELINES FOR HERDSMANSHIP

¨ Animals and pens are to be kept clean. Animals are to

have fresh water and feed whenever needed or on feeding schedule.

¨ Beef and Dairy animals should be tied correctly with a

halter and a neck rope (Not neck chain. If an animal gets in trouble there is no way to cut a chain.)

¨ Wheelbarrows, brooms, rakes, shovels, and other equipment

should be stored safely in equipment boxes and designated

• areas. Equipment and trash should be kept out of

walkway.

¨ Small clubs/chapters (4 members or less) may join

together for barn duty with other clubs in the same barn. Clubs/chapters need to inform barn superintendent of combinations.

¨ Educational material must be displayed. It is important as

representatives of the livestock industry to help educate the general public to the importance and value of the livestock industry.

¨ Decorations are to be neat and attractive but need not be

fancy or expensive.

¨ Exhibitors should be friendly and courteous to the public.

They should be ready and willing to answer questions or discuss their project. When on duty, exhibitors should present a clean, neat appearance.

¨ Herdsmanship hours will be from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

each day. Members are excused from being judged for herdsmanship during their species’ show times. At least

• ne exhibitor from each club/chapter (no parents) should

be on duty at all times during these hours.

¨ With the exception of horses, no riding or sitting on

animals.

¨ NO water fights in barn, stalls, or bathroom area. ¨ Stall cards are REQUIRED. ¨ All projects and decorations are to be maintained and

remain in place until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. 4-H HERDSMANSHIP AWARDS Ken Davis Bruneau The Owyhee Avalanche Homedale Fred & Sandy Sarceda Wilder Sauer Transport, Inc. Nampa Fred & Carol Chadwick & Family Caldwell The Family of Mary Lootens Marsing Ron Kelly Givens Springs

Cloverbud Exhibits at Fair. Fair exhibits by Cloverbuds are non- competitive and are optional. Exhibits are an opportunity to show what they have accomplished. A Cloverbud may exhibit their Activity Book and/or project at Fair, but are not required to do so. A participation ribbon or similar recognition will be awarded. Activity Book Interviews. If a Cloverbud would like to experience an

• ral interview and discuss their completed activity with a judge, they are

most welcome to do so. These interviews are held just prior to Fair. Cloverbuds will need to sign up for an interview time in the same manner as the older 4-H participants. After the interview they will leave their Activity Book with the judge and it will be added to their club’s display at Fair. A participation ribbon or similar recognition will be awarded. Fair Entries. If your Cloverbud would like to display their project or projects at the Fair, please submit their fair entries online in the same manner as the older 4-H and FFA members. This helps in the planning of display space for their club, and insures that we will have enough participation ribbons for the Cloverbud Department. ALL CLOVERBUD ENTRIES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN THE CLOVERBUD DEPARTMENT. The deadline for fair entries is July 15 at midnight.

Each of these will receive ribbon awards (blue, red or white). In addition, the awards will be given to the top presenter in each age category at the Owyhee County Fair on 4-H Awards Night. County Oral Presentation participation will be considered in selecting major award winners. Oral Presentations could be any of the following:

• 1. A Demonstration is doing and explaining. It is showing how. In a

demonstration you make something or do something. (There may be an end product, for example, a salad.)

• 2. An Illustrated Talk is talking. It is telling how. In an illustrated talk

you show pictures, charts, models, equipment, and other types of visual aids.

• 3. Dramatic Reading. Words and actions are used to present material to

either entertain or educate. The presenter may write their own material or use published material. Costume, make-up or props are required. The presentation may be memorized.

• 4. A Speech is presenting a topic with only spoken word and gestures. It

does not include visual aids. Note cards only may be used. Any requests for technology equipment must be made well in advance. No accommodations can be made the day of the contest at the site. There will also be a TV Commercial competition. However, TV Commercials will be a separate contest, and all ages will be judged together. A TV Commercial is a presentation to convince an audience to buy an idea or product. You may use illustrations or objects as long as name brands are concealed. Include the introduction, body, and summary. The time requirement is 60-90 seconds for all ages. TV Commercials do not count as an oral presentation for the Outstanding 4-H Livestock Exhibitor award (see page 62).
