Successfully Complete Your 4-H Year

To successfully complete your 4-H year, you must have completed one (or more) projects. You must also have participated in a community service project, given a demonstration, attended 50% of your Club’s meeting and, for Livestock participants, attended a Wholesome Meat Quality Assurance Training (according to youth’s age). All 4-H members must also have exhibited their project. For most youth, this means participation at the Garfield County Fair (bringing your display and Record Book to judging day; showing your dog or livestock in showmanship, etc.) It can also mean other things. If you were unable to participate in the pre-scheduled “exhibit day” opportunity but have exhibited your project in some other way, PLEASE call the Extension Office right away so we can discuss this with you and update our rec-

ords.

For the final step to completing your project(s), you must turn in a Record Book. If you did not turn in a Record Book on July 28th (General Project Judging), or on Livestock Record Book day on August 28th, then it is due in the Extension Office by September 30th for project completion and before you will be able to re-enroll in the same project. Your Record Book must be at least a red ribbon book; if you receive a white ribbon, you must revise your book and resubmit it to Carla Farrand by Friday, December 7th.

Club Officer Record Books - Due Friday, September 28th

If you were the Treasurer or Secretary for your club this year, you need to have your record book turned into the office by Friday, September 28th. Record books can be downloaded at: http://www.colorado4h.org/ resources/stbooks/index.php If you have questions on how to complete them, please contact Carla Farrand, Garfield County Extension Director at 970-625-3969 ext 1.

If your family is able to be in Fort Collins on Saturday, September 22nd, you should consider attending the CSU Football game and Ag Day with 4-H! Special $20.00 tickets are available to 4-H families! The day also includes an optional BBQ and the drawing for the 4-H Raffle Truck!

KELLY LOVATO

I am honored to be a member of the AmeriCorps family and provide a great program to the students in Battlement Mesa area. I grew up in the City of Pittsburgh, then moved to the Suburbs of Chicago, where I worked at O’Hare Airport for almost 15 years. My husband Eric and I have 4 kids and moved to Colorado in 2014. In 2016, I started working as a Paraprofessional in the Garfield County area and I have enjoyed being a part of the enrichment of the students. I plan on going to College to receive my Bachelors in Education.

LORI MENTINK

I am excited to be a new member of AmeriCorps, bringing 4-H STEM programming to more youth of Garfield

Wildfire Preparedness for Livestock Owners

Preparing and planning for a disaster, such as a wildfire, is one of the best ways

to minimize stress and reduce the number of snap decisions that you need to make

during the critical event.

Put together a livestock ‘Disaster Kit’ before an emergency situation- and include

a list of tasks that you need to complete, and items that you need to take with you in the

case of an emergency and/or evacuation.

CSU Extension’s recommendations for a disaster kit include:

□ Tack, ropes, halters□ Concentrated feed, hay, supplements, and medicines□ Copies of ownership papers□ Buckets or feed nets□ Garden hose□ Flashlight or lantern□ Blankets or tarps□ Lights, portable radio and spare batteries□ Livestock first aid supplies

“In any disaster situation, your first priority should be your personal safety and welfare,

followed by the safety and welfare of other people, and finally animals and property. If

you are safe, you can do more to benefit animals. If you are at risk, so is their welfare

and health.” Follow official instructions for access and safety when exiting and

reentering a disaster zone.

Additional tips for preparing yourself and your livestock for disaster:

□ Be aware of wildfire risk, and monitor conditions regularly.

□ Be knowledgeable of local and regional emergency response agencies.

□ Research any designated community evacuation/sheltering plans.

□ Prepare a safe location to house your livestock in case of emergency.

□ Assess your capabilities for moving your livestock in an emergency, and

prepare for assistance if needed.

□ Make sure that your livestock will be accessible, and no major

obstructions will prevent you from completing your livestock evacuation

plan.

□ Practice loading your livestock so you and the animals are familiar with the

process.

□ Understand that animals will become aware of an emergency before you

might, and their fight/flight behavior will kick in. This has the potential to

make them unmanageable during emergency relocation, and can result in

injuries and death (as they attempt to flee the perceived danger). In these

situations, experienced handlers (and extra hands) are needed to reduce

injury to the livestock and owners.

□ If someone else needs to evacuate your livestock, make sure that your

contact information and the number of animals is painted in multiple

locations around the pens, barns, and other holding areas.

Here are some tips to make animal identification and reunification a smoother

process:

□ Consider having ID tags (or luggage tags) attached to any animals that

are halter broke.

□ You might consider having paint on hand, to put your contact

information on the animals themselves.

□ Use a permanent marker to write your name and number on the

hooves of horses.

□ Microchips are another way for you to make sure that your horses will

be easily traced back to you.

□ Keep pictures of your livestock in your disaster kit, to aid in

identification.

□ Make sure that all your animals have brands, ear tags, and notches.
