DEADLINE: LIVESTOCK ID’S DUE MAY 15 by 11:59 PM
Livestock identification will be done through 4-H Online
(www.iowa.4honline.com) for ALL ANIMALS THAT WERE NOT WEIGHED IN
(Breeding Beef, Bucket Bottle Calves, Horses, Dairy, Dairy Goats, Dogs, Rab-
bits, Pets, Poultry, Breeding Sheep, etc.). Identification is due by May 15. To
enter non-weigh in species, you will need to log into your 4-H Online family rec-
ord and add the needed information to the Animal ID for each member’s record.
Weigh-In animals were entered by county extension staff after their weigh-in. It
is the responsibility of the member to log into 4-H Online to verify that all infor-
mation is correct. Information that is not verified by the member within the verifi-
cation time frame will be locked and will not be able to be changed after May 15.
For registered animals, a copy of the registration is REQUIRED. Please bring in
a copy of the registration paper that we can keep at the office. Please turn these
in with your fair entry by June 1.
If you have questions about this process feel free to contact the Howard County
Extension Office. Each 4-H member is responsible for entering their own
ID’s. Directions and help sheets are at www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/
enrollment/help.htm
Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to Enter ID’s!!!
The 2018 Howard County Fair is just over six weeks away! Hopefully all of your Livestock Identifications are getting into
4HOnline by the May 15th deadline. Your leaders will be receiving your fair entry forms at their meeting on May 21st, so
be sure to make sure to contact them so that you can get them turned in by the June 1st deadline. Also, congratulations
to our Spring Fair participants & 2018 graduating Seniors! I love what I see in Howard County and can’t wait to see it grow
even more!
