TAGGING REQUIREMENTS FOR
LIVESTOCK SHOWS
The 2015 livestock show season is just a few months away, in just
a few weeks we will be weighing and tagging our 4-H beef and
dairy steers. The tagging and exhibit regulations for 2015 have not
changed for cattle, sheep, goats, and swine. Official identification
bearing the official US shield are required for all livestock exhibits
following the regulations below. Sheep and goats should follow the
requirements of the scrapie program. It is expected that all animals
will have an official ID before arriving at tagging.
Life Changing Moments
BECOME a
4-H Camp Counselor
• Are you a leader?
• Do you want to make a difference in a young child’s life?
• Do you like to share your knowledge of the out of doors, crafts,
science, nature, animals, technology, songs or games?
• Would you like to have a fun summer?
• Are you 14 years old or older?
• Are you an adult who likes the sounds of this?
Then you would make a great Baltimore County 4-H camp
counselor. (We need adult volunteers as well) Here are some
important dates for you to know:
1. B
altimore County 4-H day camp is June 22-26th @ Oregon Ridge,
Robotics camp is July 6-10th @ the Ag Center and Farm Camp is
in August @ the Ag Center.
2. C
ounselor trainings begin
January 8th @ 6:30 p.m. at the
Ag Center. Future meetings will be
held on the 2nd Thursdays of the month.
3. Other state counselor training
opportunities will be held in:April, May or June
The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) has announced
new identification requirements to comply with national animal
disease traceability (ADT) rules. All livestock being brought to
shows starting in 2014 must have an “official identification”. This
identification will be tied to a registered premise. For most
livestock this means a tag bearing the official US shield.
• Sheep and goats scrapie identification is an acceptable
identification, including breed registration tattoos (tattoos
must be legible and follow scrapie program requirements)
• Cattle must have an official tag, brands and tattoos will not be
accepted
• Swine must have an official tag, ear notches and tattoos are
not accepted
What does all of this mean for 4-H projects?
• Official identification will need to be done by the producer or
veterinarian to tie the identification to a registered premise.
• 4-H animals will still be tagged with a Maryland state 4-H tag
• Registered purebred animals will still be exempt from the
Maryland state 4-H tag but must have an official identification
with the US shield for shows
• For 4-H shows both the official identification and the Maryland
4-H identification must be listed on your CVI (health papers)
For more information about the tagging requirements please visit:
www.mda.maryland.gov/animalHealth/Pages/Fairs-Shows.asp
Take a leap
with us!
Please contact the 4-H office to register for the next
training @ 410-887-8090.

**BALTIMORE COUNTY OUTSTANDING
4-H CLUB AWARD
Each county can submit three outstanding club
nominations for state consideration. To compete for this
award we will need your club’s program plan for last
year, your secretary’s book and your treasurer’s book.
You may also write a short story about some of the things
your club has done this past year. This award is sponsored
by the Baltimore County Volunteer Association.
*“I’LL BE GLAD TO” AWARD (2 awards)
This award is given to two members who have been very
helpful in their club and county program in the last year.
They have the “I’ll Be Glad To” spirit to help other 4-H’ers,
volunteers, parents, and educators in many 4-H activities.
This award has been given by the Cashman family in
memory of their parents Roy and Helen Cashman who
gave many years to 4-H camp and Chestnut Ridge 4-H
Club.
*ELIZABETH SCOTT MEMORIAL
AWARD (1 award)
It’s that time again to recognize the achievements of our
members and volunteers! Each year at our Achievement
Night Program, special Baltimore County awards are
presented to outstanding 4-Hers and Volunteers. It is
important to have leader input for the award nominations
as you know your members and fellow volunteers best.
Often times, a well deserving 4-Her is overlooked simply
because they weren’t nominated.
In order to nominate someone for an award, you should
complete a Special Awards Nomination Form. Anyone
can complete the attached nomination form. Equestrian
of the Year nominees should complete the Equestrian of
the Year Application and Animal Project nominees should
complete the Animal Project Awards Application. These
forms can be found online at www.baltimorecounty.umd.
edu (under 4-H Youth Development: 4-H Forms) Please
take into consideration that some of the awards are
geared toward older 4-Hers as they have demonstrated
the necessary accomplishments throughout the years.
Younger members have many years to look forward to
and can set goals to work towards these awards in the
future. Other than the Points of Light award, an award
winner can not receive the same award more than once
in their 4-H career. Nominations should be mailed, faxed
to 410-785-5950 or e-mailed to Nfields@umd.edu to
reach the office by February 1st.
*Note: These awards are a one time only award.
**Note: This award cannot be won 2 years in a row.
This is awarded yearly to the outstanding Baltimore
County 4-H club member. This individual should reflect
the leadership, citizenship and social skills 4-H seeks to
teach and should demonstrate interest in furthering the
4-H program. Dr. Robert Scott gives this award in memory
of his mother who was a leader in the Long Green-Glen
Arm Area. It is the most cherished award a Baltimore
County 4-H’er may receive during their 4-H career. This
person should be at least 16 years old.
*MARGARET SMITH MEMORIAL
AWARD (1 award)
This award pays tribute to the Baltimore County 4-H
member who has excelled in the family and Consumer
Sciences project areas. Margaret Smith was a leader for
41 years and gave direction to club members in home
economics. This award was established by the Long
Green 4-H Club to honor Miss Margaret and is now given
in her memory by her niece and nephew. This should be
an older 4-H’er age 14 and up.
*OUTSTANDING 1ST YEAR 4-H’ER (1 award)
To receive this award you must have been a first year
4-H’er during the past year. (Does not count Clover
years) Criteria: Completed at least one project with a
demonstration or public speech, completed a project
record and record book. Exhibited at a local club meeting,
school, or fair and participated in one county activity or
event. The youth has the “learn by doing” 4-H spirit to
complete a project that built a firm foundation for his or
her future 4-H project work.
*ANDY SCHMIDT 4-H
SERVICE AWARD (1 award)
ANIMAL PROJECT AWARDS
(1 award each category)
This award recognizes the outstanding Baltimore County
4-H member in terms of service to others and involvement
in community affairs. A citizenship type award; it is
rendered yearly to the 4-H’er who has exhibited
outstanding service to their family, club and community.
This award is given in memory of Andy Schmidt.
Similar to the Equestrian of the year award, these awards
would be for the person of the year in Dairy, Swine, Beef,
Sheep, Goats, Poultry, Rabbit, Dog, Cat, and Alpacas.
These awards will be based on a point system and the
4-Her may apply for them.
*WILLIAM KLINGELHOFER
MEMORIAL AWARD (1 award)
This is a special award given to Baltimore County’s
outstanding 4-H family. A family that believes in the 4-H
program, is always there to lend a helping hand, is very
involved with helping others and sets a great example for
others. This family will represent Baltimore County in State
Competition. This award is sponsored by the Baltimore
County Volunteer Association.
Leaders of the Baltimore County 4-H program established
this award to memorialize Bill Klingelhofer, an outstanding
club leader in the Randallstown area and horticulture
judging coach. It is given to a 4-H’er who excels in
leadership and citizenship and many phases of club work.
Bill was interested in all 4-H’ers and worked in many
project areas.
(We are also looking for a sponsor for this award)
POINTS OF LIGHT AWARD
This award recognizes youth who have performed
voluntary community service to help correct a social
problem such as pollution, feeding the hungry, adopting
animals, visiting the elderly, etc. This award is given to as
many youth as qualify.
*ALL-STAR “UNSUNG HERO” (1 award)
Each year the Baltimore County 4-H All Stars sponsor an
award for the 4-H member who exhibits the qualities
we desire in 4-H members, yet have not, in the course
of their 4-H careers, received strong recognition for their
hard work on a club and county level. This person works
behind the scenes to make the best even better for
others. This award should go to an older 4-H member.
ALL-STAR LEADERSHIP AWARD (1 award)
Each year the Baltimore County All Stars sponsor an
award for the 4-H member who exhibits the qualities of a
leader. This person works hard to take on leadership roles
in their club, community, school and other organizations.
*EQUESTRIAN OF THE YEAR (1 award)
Any 4-Her with a horse project may apply for this award.
You earn this award through a point system based on
the work you have done with the horse project and your
leadership during the past year. If you feel you have done
enough to qualify for this award, contact the office for
an application. This award is sponsored by the Horsin’
Around Club.
*4-H FAMILY OF THE YEAR (1 award)
*VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD :
This is a rather new award, as we want to honor an
outstanding Baltimore County 4-H Volunteer. (This will
be hard, as there are so many deserving volunteers out
there.) Please nominate someone you feel goes over and
above to help others. Write a story as to why you feel this
specific person is deserving of this award. Maybe they
have no one in 4-H, but give many hours to the program
helping others. Maybe they have worked hard to hold a
club together under difficult circumstances. Maybe they
are just there for you and other 4-H members whenever
you need them. Let us know. This person could be a club
leader or a volunteer in any way with the 4-H program.
A leader can win this award only once. This award is
sponsored by Fana Wolff.
BALTIMORE COUNTY 4-H AFTERSCHOOL,
MILITARY OR SCHOOL PROGRAM YEAR
To compete for this award we will need a write up
of your program’s goals for the year along with the
accomplishments. You may also write a short story about
some of the things your program has done this past year.
We would like to see a well-rounded program to include
citizenship, project work excellence and program growth.
4-H SCIENTIST OF THE YEAR
This award is given to the Baltimore County 4-H member
who has excelled in the Science, Engineering and
Technology (SET) project areas. 4-H has a goal to develop
the next generation of our country’s scientists. The
nomination write-up should describe project excellence
in 4-H SET related projects including but not limited to
robotics, wind power, environmental science, rocketry,
etc. and how these projects have increased interest and
abilities in SET.
Awards are also given for record books and senior portfolios. We will also present the Diamond
Clover Award Pins. Any Clover turning in a Clover Scrapbook will be recognized as well. Record books,
scrapbooks and Diamond Clover Awards applications must be received by February 1st.
