From Bailey Schilling 4-H Youth Development Livestock & Shooting Sports Agent
I hope that you all are doing well and excited to be involved with different workshop opportunities leading up to the county fair with your project animal. You are more than welcome to attend these opportunities without having an animal present.
Along with that, we are also approaching the May 31 deadline for you to submit pictures of your animal on 4HOnline. We are asking that you submit a profile view. Please find instruction sheets for each species below.

Poultry members, we are still working with the State Extension Office and communicating with the State Vet to gain a better understanding of this virus and how it is going to impact the shows at the Larimer County Fair. Please refer to the multiple emails sent out earlier this month pertaining to HPAI and preventative steps that should be taken to reduce infection of your flocks. Workshops will still be taking place in the absence of live animals for the poultry program.

Save the Dates for more fun and educational Vet Chats hosted by Adams County 4-H.
You must register to attend. The link is at the bottom of the flyer.
They will be recording the Vet Chats and they will be posted to the Adams County YouTube page (ADCO4H) about a week after the chat.
Livestock members, please take note of the dates for upcoming weigh days and Field Day/MQA.
4-H members enrolling in any market and/or breeding livestock projects for the first time must attend a Colorado 4-H Meat Quality Assurance (MQA) program, regardless of age. For Larimer County, this will be offered at our Field Day on February 29 and May 15. 4-H members must attend a Colorado 4-H MQA program a minimum of twice during the course of their 4-H career, once as a junior and once again within one year after becoming a senior 4-H member. Members are encouraged to review the information and best practices found in the Colorado 4-H Meat Quality Assurance program annually.
Here is the schedule for Livestock Field Day’s workshops
Mark your calendar for the annual Livestock Field Day on February 29 from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. in the McKee Building.
Learn about topics ranging from livestock selection, nutrition, health, record books, livestock ethics, animal stress, and anatomy, taught by Colorado State University Livestock Specialists, industry professionals, and Extension Agents. There will be 9 different 45-minute sessions to choose from this year.
MQA certification will also be offered from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
