- By February 1 of show year, a committee member will schedule a home visit to ensure that the exhibitor can walk the steer or heifer at least 100 ft by themselves. If youth can’t they will get a two week extension. If they still can’t they will not be allowed to participate in the show or sale.
- If cloverbud youth show an animal out of compliance with rules, the extension office must approve the animal by the onsite date and it cannot be taken through the auction
- A committee member will do a site check within a week of the on-site date to make sure animals are in compliance
Required Animal Books
Please note that there is not an “intermediate” animal book. If youth are 4-H Age 11-12, they will complete a “Junior” animal book and if they are 4-H Age 13 they will complete a “Senior” animal book. This is because for Project Record Books at the state level, they are only split into 3 age categories instead of four.
-
Cloverbud (4-H Age 5-7)

Junior (4-H Age 8-12)
-
Senior (4-H Age 13-18)
