This is a great opportunity for Shooting Sports members to receive help and have questions answered about your projects and record books.
Cindy will be present, and can also answer any other questions about projects and record books. You can also have her sign your completed record books.
The workshop is tonight, July 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the McKee Building.
Livestock record books are due on Wednesday, September 15. This includes Dog and Cat. For those in livestock that did not show at fair such as Rabbit, the record books still need to be submitted to complete the project.
Bring your books to our HCH club picnic on Monday, September 13 to get them signed by Cindy.
On behalf of the Larimer County 4-H Foundation, we are offering an opportunity to have Livestock Record Books evaluated by a group of livestock leaders. As in the past, the books will be scored and awards will be given. In this unique time, the Foundation felt it was important to continue with the submission of Livestock Record Books. This is an opportunity for all livestock species (Cat, Dog, Alpaca/Llama, Rabbit, Horse, Sheep, Goat, Poultry, Swine, and Beef). THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. If record books are submitted the Foundation will contact your club leaders to let them know that a book has been submitted.
Due to concerns of COVID, the books should be dropped off at one of four business locations around the county. The drop-off bins are in place now and record books can be dropped off anytime between now and September 23. The bins are clearly marked “Livestock Record Books.”

Livestock and animal record books will NOT be collected this year. This decision was made due to the limits on face-to-face contact and our extension office not being staffed in-person.
Congrats to all who completed their record books and worked so hard! We’re sorry we are not able to judge them this year.

There will be a record book workshop this Saturday, August 24 starting at 10:00 a.m. in the Estes Park room at the McKee Building. We will go over expectations for completing your record books and cover the financial pages, as well as touch on the breeding supplements.
Please be sure all submitted record books are in a 3-ring binder or a folder with prongs. All books should have the member’s name and what the record book pertains to on the outside of the binder/folder in the upper right corner. This includes Horse, Dog, and Cat.
Reminder: If you have all of your projects in one record book, you must make copies of the record book if you want them judged in all species included.
How are those record books going? If you have any questions or need help, please ask!
