This does NOT apply to breeding animals. Market Rabbits, and Poultry refer to all meat pens/ exhibits. There will be a place on the Larimer County Fair 4-H Entry Form to put your Premises ID number. Did you show a market animal at the 2018 Larimer County Fair? If so, you obtained a Premises ID and entered your number on the 2017 Fair Entry Form. This means that you already have a Premises ID number and do not need to reapply for one. If you don’t remember your number, you can call the number below and they can provide it to you. If you did not show a market animal last year, you will need to obtain a Premises ID. It’s easy and free to obtain a Premises ID. Call 1-303-921-7730.

Who must take MQA? All meat animal project members (even those who have animals that are pets) must participate in a Meat Quality Assurance Program (MQA).

· Once as a Junior Member (ages 8 - 13 years old · Once as a Senior Member (14 - 18 years old) ¨ All new 4-H livestock members ¨ Those who turned 14 during the 2017 calendar Why MQA? It is a Colorado 4-H requirement

and the Larimer County Fair and Jr. Livestock Sale Committee also require livestock members to complete this program before they can participate in the 2018 Fair and Jr. Livestock Sale.

What is considered a meat animal project? Meat animal projects include all breeding and market livestock in the following species: Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle, Goats (Pygmy, Dairy Goat, Breeding Meat Goat, Market Goat), Poultry (Geese, Duck, Chicken, Turkey, Pigeon), Rabbit, (including Pet Rabbit), Sheep and Swine.

What if I am taking the Swine project? To meet Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) requirements, you must do the following, based on your age group:

¨ Youth 8-11 years of age (Beginner): Attend MQA/PQA training annually

¨ Youth 12-14 years of age (Intermediate) OR 15-18 years of age (Advanced): Certify/re-certify for one year by attending MQA/PQA training OR you can certify for the entire age group by completing and passing an examination at the appropriate age level. To certify by examination, a minimum of 70% of questions must be correctly answered. Therefore, we will test and score all Swine youth on site following the hands-on MQA/PQA activities this year. This will allow them to be certified until they reach the next age group.

The Larimer County Fair and the Colorado State Fair require swine exhibitors to be PQA certified.

When is MQA/PQA training offered for 2018?

All disciplines have a mandatory information/safety orientation meeting at the start of the project. If you do not have equipment, please do not purchase equipment until after the safety and information orientation. If you have equipment already, please bring it to this meeting to be checked and approved. Special note: Practices will be held unless severe, inclement weather arises. See Master Calendar for all practice dates/times/locations for each discipline.

Larimer County offers nine shooting sport disciplines: Archery, Air Rifle, Air Pistol, Shotgun, .22 Rifle, .22 Pistol, Muzzleloading, Western Heritage and Outdoor Skills. Larimer County requires that all 4-H participants attend a minimum of four (4) county practices for each discipline in which they wish to participate in the county shooting competitions. (see Shooting Sports Policy) Practices are not required to complete a shooting sports project. To complete a shooting sports project you must complete a record book and present a topic or display board over something in your discipline. The County Shoots are held in late June and July, generally on a weekend. A youth must participate in a county shoot to qualify for the state competition.

A list of additional practices should be submitted one week prior to the time the practice is held. Other 4-H members who call may participate in the practice provided the range will accommodate increased numbers.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture and Tri-County Health Department have confirmed that an alpaca in Douglas County has died due to a rabies infection. Pet owners are urged to check records to en-sure rabies vaccinations are up-to-date. Livestock can also be infected with rabies and owners are encouraged to discuss the risk of rabies ex-posure with their local veterinarian.

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Envi-ronment, so far in 2018, 32 animals from Colorado have tested positive for rabies – mostly in skunks. Of those, 12 rabid animals were known or strongly suspected of exposing 33 domestic pets, 7 livestock ani-mals, and 2 people.
