Market Swine, Lamb and Goat Weigh-In and Tagging
Therapeutic Riding Barn

can be made payable to CCEAC. You must turn in a completed form with the number
of tags you will need by April 29th for Swine and May 3rd for Lambs and Goats.
Anyone who does not turn in the registration form by the above deadlines may not be
eligible for the 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.

holding a video contest. The contest is
intended to help enhance the learning and

Indoor Building
This month I begin my series of articles
highlighting new classes or class changes
for Indoor Depts. at the 2013 County Fair.
Now is the time to use indoor time to work
on craft projects or other department’s
projects that can be made and set aside for
the fair. Some of you attended Mid-Winter
Blahs and made items which can be
entered in the fair. Put those away in a
safe place and don’t forget to enter them
for the County Fair. Public schools will be
closed for spring break. Why not use some
of that time to work on projects to enter in
the fair? By not waiting until school is out to
start your projects you have more time,
won’t be rushed, probably have a neater
project and be able to complete more
projects to give us more entries for our
public to view.
We will start with the Crafts Dept. We
have a new Bone class, which is any item
made from bone/skeleton of animals. Once
again this year we will have the Duct Tape
class. There will also be 3 Jewelry
classes. They are: 1. Jewelry made from
fiber (ex. Friendship bracelet) 2. Jewelrytraditional, (beads, wire, charms, etc.)
single piece and 3. Jewelry set-traditional.
The Painting class will be painting on
wood, metal or glass. Glass craft will be
any item crafted on or with glass.
The Clover Dept. will have 6 classes
just like last year. Each clover can enter 1
item in each class. The General Dept.
classes will remain the same as last year.
A department that has declined in
entries is the Mechanical Arts. We usually
think of restored farm machinery or
antiques for this dept. There are also
classes for restored residential equipment,
modified equipment or fabricated. Do you
have project work from Career Tech that
could be entered in this dept.? If you have
any questions about entries for this dept.
now is the time to contact the Supt., Gary
Seibel, at 410 635-6930 or
gseibel@umd.edu.
Once again I would encourage 4-H’ers
to enter their school writing projects in the
Writing Dept. 4-H’ers can see how their
writing compares to others, receive
premium money and give the public the
opportunity to read their entries.
Next month I will be covering Garden
products, Informal Demonstrations, Home
Environment and Lost Arts Dept.
Any questions please contact me at
410 857-0416.

Guidelines for Carroll County 4-H Dog Care and Training Project
CLASSES: will be held on Tuesday Evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Parents or guardians are expected to be at the
Shipley Arena to pick up 4-H participants when classes are over. The first class will be on 5/7/2013 and continue until
7/16/2013. All classes will be held in the Shipley Arena.
CHECK IN: clip boards with check in sheets are provided for each training group and the 4-H participants in this project
are expected to check in on the sheet for their class before class.
ATTENDANCE: Participants training a dog are expected to attend at least 60% of the scheduled classes, to participate at
the 2013 Carroll County 4-H/FFA Fair. It is to your benefit to plan on attending a larger percentage of classes if at all
possible. In the event you are not able to attend a training session, please check with your training instructor to get
information on any new material you would miss when you are unable to attend class.
CLOTHING: It is often cool during training classes, so wear or bring a jacket or sweater when needed. Plan on wearing
soft-soled shoes (SANDALS AND FLIP-FLOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED). If you have long hair, tie it back so your vision is not
impaired while training your dog.
DOGS IN SEASON: If your dog comes in season DO NOT BRING HER TO CLASS! The 4-H member is expected to attend
classes and work with their dog at home so training progress can continue while the dog is in season.
