SHEEP AND GOAT WEIGH-IN DATE Market Sheep and Goat Weigh-in will be held

from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Saturday, May 5

at the Sioux County Fair Grounds. More infor-

mation to come later!

Please identify your animals properly

In past years we know that you have en-

tered your tag number in 4HOnline with

just the numbers. We had an incident with

IDALS this past year where we needed to

have the letters from the tag also. The ani-

mal had already been marketed and the

family didn’t remember the letters on the

tag. Since we get new tags in every year,

but have old tags left, we two sets of let-

ters on our tags each year. We can guess, but we can’t be positive if you don’t put the letters in the identification.

Swine Identification All swine need to have the USDA tag (as pictured on

the right) or need to have ear notches entered into

4HOnline by May 15th. If you identify your animals

with Swine DNA tags for State Fair, you will also need

the ear notches entered into the identification. IDALS

isn’t recognizing the DNA tags as official.

Derby Swine Weigh-in

Derby Swine Weigh-in will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on April 7 at the Sioux County Fairgrounds. We will

be using USDA tags for the weigh-in. If State DNA tags are available, we will have those at the weigh-in also. If you

have any questions please contact the Extension Office at 712-737-4230.

Watch for specific species rules changes in future newsletters. We will be

featuring a couple of them each month.

FSQA Training set for February

The second annual GRiT (Getting Real To-gether) Conference is a multicultural confer-ence for youth in grades 9 - 12. It will be held

March 23, 2018 @ Northwestern College

Check with your guidance counselor for

registration details

What is GRIT?

The primary goal of the GRIT Confer-ence is to encourage youth from un-derrepresented populations to visit and take part in activities on a real college campus—a place where they may choose to continue their education. Ad-ditionally, the conference encourages you to develop their leadership abilities and to further their personal educational interests.

Legislative Day and 4-H Public Leadership Experience IECA has planned their annual Legislative Day for Tuesday, February 28 starting at the Wallace Build-ing. Our goal is to have at least three council members and 4-Hers from each county this

year. We encourage you to also invite your local Master Gardeners and other Extension Supporters.

You will be briefed on the issues that will impact ISU Extension and Outreach, find out about upcoming legislation, and learn how to work with your legislators. Then we will spend time on Capitol Hill sharing Extension with the senators and representatives that serve your county. This will be a great opportunity to model public leadership to 4-Hers in your group.

Let’s make an impression! Come wearing red to support ISU Extension. Alternately, you may

wear green to support 4-H.

As a part of our legislative day this year, the association is inviting our senior 4-Hers to receive more infor-mation about the legislative process. 4-Hers from each county will have the opportunity to meet with leg-islators, tour the Capital, and learn about the legislative process and what bearing it has on Iowa State Extension and Outreach. More information is available on the IECA Legislative Day and 4-H Public Lead-ership Experience webpage.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged to help ease the morning check-in process. However, we will wel-

come anyone who comes on that day even if they have not yet registered. Register here to attend. You

can download the information flyer to find out more about that day.
