Rabbit Orientation
Will you be showing your Rabbits at the Carroll County 4-H/FFA fair this year? You MUST attend a
Rabbit Barn Orientation to help you prepare for the competition and be aware of the expectations of
the Rabbit Department. Orientations will take place on Monday, May 23rd at 7pm and on Thursday,
June 2nd at 7pm. If you have questions regarding a particular rabbit, please bring that rabbit with
you. You only need to attend one of these workshops to be in compliance. For more information,
please contact Peggy Luers 410-848-9584.
Market Swine, Lamb and Goat Weigh-In
If you plan to exhibit one of the above at the county or state fair, it must have a Maryland 4-H ear tag
and be weighed in at Carroll County. You must turn in a completed 2-part form to the Extension
Office with the number of tags you will need by May 2nd for Swine (Weigh in Date – Friday,
May 6th) and May 9th for Lambs and Goats (Weigh in Date – Friday, May 13th). The
Animal Science Code of Ethics will be on the reverse side, both pages must be signed.
Tags cost $1 for swine and $1 for lamb and goats. Checks can be made payable to CCEAC. Anyone who
does not turn in the registration form by the above deadlines may not be eligible for fairs. In addition,
several of you show 4-H in one county and FFA in another; you must register, tag and weigh-in the
appropriate animal for that county! You may not weigh in your animals at another county and be
eligible for the Carroll County 4-H/FFA Fair. Questions?? Call 410-386-2760.
Castration Policy of the Maryland 4-H AnSc Program: All male steers, lambs, pigs, and goats must be neutered and
healed prior to 4-H weigh-in and tagging. The only exception would be animals that have obvious signs they have been
banded, however, their scrotal sac is still intact.
Attention: Swine Exhibitors
If you are planning to show swine this year, be aware that Maryland 4-H WILL NOT be using the
RFID Tags this year, which contained a premise ID number. If you are breeding your own
pigs, contact the Maryland Department of Agriculture (410-841-5810) to obtain your premise ID if
you have not already done so. If you plan on purchasing your pig, talk with your breeders and make
them aware of this new rule. You MUST have a premise ID tag in your pig’s ear in order to receive
health papers. To learn more about the new tagging guidelines visit:

Indoor Building Updates: This month, I continue my series of articles highlighting new classes or
class changes for the Indoor Departments at the 2016 County Fair.
On-site Garden Department (I-25) has decreased considerably in entries. In this department the
4-Her’s garden is on display. The judges will come to the 4-Her’s house to judge the garden.
Exhibitors need not be home at time of judging. However, judges would prefer the opportunity to
discuss the garden with exhibitors in conference judging. Project record sheets are required and must
be up to date at time of judging. A copy is required to give to the judges.
4-Hers are encouraged to give Informal Demonstrations during the fair. They are given in the
Red Building or they can be given in the Poultry or Rabbit barns. Other livestock exhibitors can give
demonstrations in their area by getting permission from their superintendent. There is little
preparation and this gives 4-Hers a chance to complete a demonstration for their communication
section of the project record sheet. Informal demonstrations need to be pre-registered with
the other fair entries.
In the General Dept. (I-12) the Learning station is a specific subject and is for individuals. The class
is Consumer Education Poster/Display.
A new class in the Home Environment Dept. (I-13) is Decorative Hand or Guest Towel—set of 2
needlework, applique or other fabric trimmed towels.
Next month I will conclude my series with the Foods Dept. which includes Canning, Cookies, Fudge,
Breads, Cakes and Pies and Decorated Creations. Any questions please contact, Sandra Stonesifer
410 857-0416
Children’s’ Day: Attention Club leaders, please see the attached letter regarding Children’s’ Day
which will take place on August 2nd, from 8:30am-2:00pm. Everyone is strongly encouraged to

Children’s Day at the Fair
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2016
May 1, 2016
Calling All 4-H & FFA Clubs!
It’s almost that time again! The Carroll County 4-H & FFA Fair is rapidly approaching. They
will be hosting another great Children’s Day on Tuesday, August 2nd, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Last
year we had more than 1100 children attend this highly anticipated event at the fair. This event continues
to happen because of your help. We really need club participation to make this day a true success every
year!
We are asking clubs to sign-up for a make-it and take-it craft table like in the past. For example,
clubs in the past have provided supplies, 4-Hers and volunteers to make noodle necklaces, decorate
animal bookmarks, clover magnets, etc. Please prepare 250 (easy and inexpensive) crafts to be made
there or to take home and make. Please choose a two hour time slot during the day. We will also need 4Hers to help with face painting.
The Game Area is such a big hit that it will be back! We are looking for clubs who would like to
help us with Children’s Day but are unable to help THAT day. We are looking for clubs to donate
inexpensive prizes for the game area, small monetary donation towards prizes or items for the
Goodie Bags. If you can help us in any capacity we would greatly appreciate your donations. We are
looking for activities that will interest the youth coming to Children’s Day and encourage them to stay for
the day.
We are in GREAT NEED this year of clubs to do make-it/take-it crafts as well as volunteers to
help at face painting. I hope your club will be able to participate in some way in this wonderful
opportunity to promote and educate young children about the great 4-H program and agriculture here in
Carroll County. Remind your members that this is a great way to earn Community Service hours for
school by volunteering that day whether for an hour or the day. I hope to hear from your club soon.
Please contact Pamela Bell at pamela.bell275@gmail.com by June 12th to reserve your time slot
or offer your services. Please supply your club’s name, the contact person and their email address, as
well as what your club will be doing (a craft) and your time preference. The times will be from 8:30 a.m.
to 10:30 a.m.; 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. A confirmation email will be sent
to each club who responds.
Sincerely,
Pamela Bell

of describing your garment and your work creating the garment. You may also add what clubs you are
enrolled in and the 4-H projects you carry. For example, "Sally made a red dress with white polka dots"
we can see that, it should say, “Sally chose this fabric because she loves the color" the narration tells us
about the person, what they learned, and what they do in and outside of 4-H. This will be read during
the CC 4-H Fashion Show. (You may submit the script used in your county/city Fashion Revue
electronically.) You may send with this form or email to: Ann Dicke at adicke@umd.edu - Due

The University of Maryland Extension programs are open to all persons regardless of race, color, sex, age, religion, disability or national origin. Information provided to UME may be used and shared within UME, the University of
Maryland and the University System of Maryland and with outside entities as necessary or appropriate in accordance with applicable law and the mission, purpose and functions of UME and the University. Because the University is a
State educational institution, such information may also be subject to disclosure under the Maryland Access to Public Records Act. A person may inspect and/or correct his or her personal information as provided by the Maryland
Access to Public Records Act and/or applicable University policy. The purpose of these materials is to enroll all poultry, rabbit and cavy animals with the 4-H Program and to ensure members will receive all materials. By not
providing all requested information, one may not receive all associated materials associated with the project, as well, as not being able to participate in Maryland 4-H shows.

University of Maryland Extension (UME) 4-H Code of Animal Science Ethics
4-H members enrolled in animal science projects (e.g., beef, camelids, dairy, dog, goat, horse, poultry, rabbit, sheep, small pet, and swine) shall, at all times, conduct themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship,
including while with their projects and at all 4-H animal science activities and events. Their conduct should always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of 4-H and its animal science program.
4-H members, as well as parents, UME volunteers and others working with them, are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts; and their conduct and values must serve as a
positive influence on others.
This Code of Ethics applies to all 4-H members who are enrolled in animal science projects, and to others (4-Hers, parents, volunteers, owners, etc.) who participate in the animal science program; and it covers daily animal
care, as well as participation in competition and other 4-H animal activities and events.
4-H members and others who violate this Code of Ethics demean the integrity of 4-H and its animal science program. 4-H members who violate the code of animal science ethics are subject to sanctions including, but not
limited to, forfeiture of premiums, awards, and/or auction proceeds and may be prohibited from participation in 4-H or 4-H/UME events or activities; other violators may also be subject to sanction, as appropriate. Infractions may be
reviewed by 4-H and/or UME (on the local or state level, as appropriate to the infraction and to the event and/or activity in question), and/or may be subject to a fair oversight committee or other entity that oversees an activity or
event. In addition, some acts may also be subject to review based upon the 4-H Behavioral Expectations (4-H 418) and/or other UME policies.
The following is a list of standards and requirements for all 4-H animal science projects, at all times, whether at home, at animal exhibitions or events, or any other 4-H event or activity.
1. The care of all 4-H project animals is the responsibility of the 4-H member. 4-H members must properly care for and groom their animals for the duration of their project.
2. All project animals are expected to be housed at the 4-H member’s residence unless a different location is submitted to and approved in writing by the local 4-H staff. Any change in location must be approved in writing by the
local 4-H staff; however, it is not necessary to report direct transport to and from shows or other events.
3. Upon request of 4-H, UME, or other program, fair, event or animal officials, 4-H members must present proof of ownership, length of ownership, identity and/or age of all 4-H project animals owned or leased. Misrepresentation of
ownership, age, or identity of animal, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited. If a 4-H project animal is sold in a livestock sale, it is no longer eligible to be shown in a 4-H event in Maryland in that year.
4. 4-H members must provide appropriate animal health certificates upon request of 4-H, UME, or other program, fair, event or animal officials.
5. 4-H project animals must be presented to competition, activities and/or events, where they will enter the food chain, free of volatile drug residues. Animals which are presented to competition, events and/or activities that do not
culminate with the animal entering the food chain, shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and rules. 4-H project animals shall not be exhibited if drugs
administered in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations and rules may affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event. At any time after an animal arrives on a fair or other 4-H activity or event premises, a
licensed veterinarian must administer or, in consultation with fair, event, UME, or 4-H officials, direct the administration of any treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications.
6. The act of enrolling in a 4-H animal science project, and/or entering a project animal in a 4-H competition, show, activity, or other event, gives consent for 4-H or UME or event authorities to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva,
blood, hair, tissue, or other substance from the animal to be used for testing purposes including, but not limited to, drugs or identification. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood or other substance tested by the approved
laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved, and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate
and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the 4-H owner to prove
otherwise at any review in regard to the matter conducted by a fair or other event or the 4-H program. If the laboratory report on the chemical analysis of saliva, urine, blood, hair, tissue or other sample, taken from a 4-H animal
science project, indicates the presence of forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally.
7. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counter irritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal's performance or alter its natural
contour, conformation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hoofs or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole
purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited.
8. Using ice, ice packs, cold packs, or cold compresses, internally or externally, other than those prescribed to relieve heat stress or a medical condition as diagnosed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting
the health of the animal, is prohibited.
9. The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices, such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical devices, or other similar practices, are not acceptable and are prohibited.
10. All judges, fair and event officials and/or UME/4-H staff and volunteers shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation, and respect, and no person shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them or toward exhibitors or
others participating in the activity. In addition, direct criticism or interference with a judge, fair, show or event official, exhibitor, breed representative, or UME/4-H staff or volunteer before, during, or after an event or other activity is
prohibited.
11. No one shall violate this Code of Animal Science Ethics or conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate this Code of Ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with another person or persons either by
affirmative action or inaction to violate this Code of Ethics.
12. The application of this Code of Ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal's condition to the 4-H member whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal
in contravention of this Code of Ethics.
13. By enrolling in an animal science project and/or entering an animal in a fair or other 4-H event or activity, the 4-H member, and his/her parent or guardian, consent to have disciplinary action taken by appropriate authorities
(including UME, 4-H, fair, event and/or other activity officials) for violation of this Code of Animal Science Ethics and/or any other applicable rules of UME, 4-H, a fair, activity or other event, without recourse against UME, 4-H
and/or other authorities. In addition, the 4-H member, and his/her parent or guardian, further understand and agree that any action which contravenes these rules, and is also in violation of federal, state, or local laws, statutes,
regulations, or rules, may be released to appropriate law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions.
Note: By signing this form the 4-H member, and his/her parent or guardian, each verify that he or she has read and understands the UME 4-H Code of Animal Science Ethics and the consequences of and penalties provided for
violations of the Code.
