1, 2019 and ending on Sept 30th 2020.

Remember that all age groups should be using

the state e-record. E-records can be down-

load and print the book to complete by hand –

prior to fair! All catch-it books need to be

turned in by 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 21.

LIVESTOCK EXHIBITOR MEETING All 4-H and FFA members showing livestock

should attend the exhibitor meeting being held

during fair. The meeting will be offered in the

sheep showring area on Tuesday at 12:30 p.m.

This short meeting will give information about

expectations and deadlines of fair week. Par-

ents are also encouraged to attend.

PACKER CERTIFICATION FORMS Due Tuesday, July 28

A packer certification form (also known as

COOL form) is required for all market livestock

exhibiting at the fair including swine, sheep,

goats, beef and poultry and are required of all

exhibitors (4-H and FFA). You will be receiving

your forms in the mail in July.

With less than 30 days left to fair, please be

sure to watch withdrawal dates of any medi-

cations or supplements used. You will need to

list those on the form if anything is given be-

tween now and fair.

STALLING ANIMALS AT FAIR In order to space families for appropriate social

distancing guidelines, we will need to know a

count of the number of animals you will be

bringing to the fair; not just how many stalls you

are requesting. Please let your leaders know

that information so that they can turn in stall

reservations by July 21. Please note that fami-

lies will need to space their tack and common

areas 6 feet apart in all barns.

Club leaders and FFA advisors: Please collect

and turn in stall reservations for all livestock de-

partments by July 21. It is extremely important

that we get the number of animals coming to

fair, not just the number of stalls being re-

served. This is to help aid in how we space

families for social distancing. Reservations

should include the number of head being

brought to fair, the number of stalls requested

for each species, and if a tack stall is needed

in each barn. Reservations may be dropped

off or emailed to [email protected].

ROUND ROBIN Round Robin is a livestock showmanship com-

petition designed to challenge the winners of

the intermediate and senior divisions of beef,

sheep, goat, swine and horse. If you place 1st

or 2nd in your showmanship class, you are eligi-

ble to compete. Eligible contestants must let

the Extension Office know if you intend to par-

ticipate in round robin—if the winners do not

wish to compete, the alternate will be the next

highest placing youth. If you win showmanship

in two different species, you must let the office

know which species you’ll be entering. The

deadline for entering is Thursday by 4:00 p.m.

Round Robin is Friday at 8:00 a.m.

ble to enter in the fair as an Open Class Exhibi-

Livestock Exhibitors What do I bring for my livestock? You’ll need to bring your animal(s) and all of the supplies to keep them comfortable for the week. Don’t forget bedding! The beef barn has sand supplied but the other barns will require you to bring your own wood shavings or bedding. No straw is al-lowed. Other things to remember include feed, feed pans, water buckets/waterers, a hose, extension cords, rakes, shovels, show supplies and fans or something to keep ani-mals cool.

When do animals have to be there? Barns will open Monday morning and you can start bringing supplies and animals any-time following that. Your stalls will be as-signed by club/chapter for the large barns so touch base with your leader to ensure you have space reserved. Animals will need to be on the grounds be-fore your species weigh in time (see sched-ule). You will need to attempt to keep 6 feet between family groupings (tack areas/common areas) for safe social distancing in the barns.

LIVESTOCK CONSIGNMENTS All 4-H and FFA members must consign their

livestock by Thursday, July 30 at 2:00 p.m.!

All market animals must be accounted for

on the consignment form. This means that

you’ll need to tell us what animals are going

home, what animals will be selling, what an-

imals will be shipping, and what animals will

be going to a locker plant. Be sure to ac-

count for all market animals at the fair, even

those that may not have made weight or

shown!

Consignment Options:

SHIP: Any animals that were not sold in the

sale and are within the department weight

limits are eligible to be shipped with other

fair animals for a buyback price. These pric-

es are posted in the Extension office and

have been pre-arranged through the sale

committee. Transportation is arranged for

these animals. All shipped animals will be

charged a ship fee of $5/hd. Please note

that prices for buybacks; especially in hogs

and cattle, may be low this year. Market

prices of lambs and goats are also ex-

pected to drop prior to fair.

LOCKER ANIMALS: If you are planning to

send your animal to a locker plant, it is your

responsibility to set up an appointment with

the locker and make arrangements for

transportation. Some lockers will pick up

sale animals so you can check to see if that

is an option. If you need a list of local lock-

ers, please contact the Extension office to-

day. Most lockers are completely booked this year so please make plans now if you

are wanting locker processing!

JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SALE: Each member

may consign up to two animals for the sale

(can not be from the same species). Ani-

mals must make weight and be shown in

regular market classes to be eligible for sale.

The sale will consist of three “rounds”. All

champions/reserve champions that have

been consigned will sell in the first round.

The second and third round will be random-

ly generated but all exhibitors will have a

chance to sell in the first or second round

before spots are drawn for the third round.

Junior Livestock Sale Information

JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SALE PHOTOS All livestock selling in the junior livestock sale

must be photographed prior to the sale for

use on buyer thank you cards. A complete

photo schedule will be posted at fair. It is your responsibility to see that the pictures of

your sale animals are taken! Photos will be

printed and attached to your buyer card

for you to pick up during the livestock sale

on Friday. Photos will be paid for by the jun-

ior livestock sale committee. If you choose

to have additional photos taken, they will

available at your cost and can be picked

up Friday afternoon at the Extension office

on the fairgrounds.

THANK YOU’s As mentioned above, you will be responsi-

ble for getting a photo taken for a photo

buyer card. Typically those cards are

picked up during the sale and personally

presented to your buyer; however, we are

working on a new process this year to re-

duce the face to face contact with buyers.

We are also discouraging giving buyers a

thank you gift on the night of the sale. If

you’d like to present a token of your appre-

ciation, we ask that you follow up with buy-

ers after fair. After fair, you are also ex-

pected to follow up with a formal thank you

card. Thank you cards are available after

fair at the Extension office. All members

should pick up a card, fill it out and return it

to the Extension office. Please do not mail

the thank you as we’ll need to verify that

the card was turned in before your check

can be issued. This is expected of all 4-H

and FFA members selling through the sale.

SALE RULES! All exhibitors must show in

showmanship class in the species

they are selling in the sale. Any exhibitor

who chooses not to show in showmanship in

a specific species will not be allowed to sell

in that species.

No Catch It animals will be allowed to sell.

Champion Market Poultry will be allowed to

sell.

When can we meet as a club again? Colorado 4-H remains under restrictions for face to face programs; however, we are working to open up a select few programs going forward. Clubs that would like to host activities and meetings can work with our of-fice to submit a program plan for approval. All face to face programs, including club meetings, will still need to be approved and abide by health guidance for our county and state.

Please note that these restrictions are for any organized 4-H activity. Before doing any sort of gathering (community service, meeting, tour, etc) we will need to submit a program plan! Will fair go on? YES! The fairboard is committed to giving our community the most normal fair that they can. As of July 1st, the only things cancelled have been the rabbit show (not due to COVID but due to rabbit hemorrhagic dis-ease) and the county carnival/games. Bingo will not be available due to at risk volunteers. Food vendors have not been confirmed but it appears that the Elks booth will not open this year.

If you are sick or choose not to attend the fair, you can still complete your project. Contact our office if you have questions or concerns.

We do ask that all of you work with us to try to distance yourselves during fair. In barns, try to space family common areas/tack spaces six feet apart. In buildings, be sure to watch sign-age for entrance and exits. We will also be trying to limit contact with staff and volunteers so please respect their safety and work to-gether to ensure everyone is protected.

Follow the fair website (ecroundup.com) and check the local papers for more info as we get closer to fair.

Informed Consent Forms

EVERY active member and volunteer needs to sign a new consent form for 4-H due to COVID. Instructions were emailed on Mon-day to every family (check your spam folder if you didn’t receive it). Forms can be up-loaded in 4honline or printed and returned to our office. Completed forms are required before you can participate in any face to face programming including fair! Contact us if you still need forms.

Fair Changes As of today, these are some of the fair changes that we know of:

Cloverbuds: Cloverbuds will not interview this year. Please submit your record book and poster to our office.

Fashion Revue: Fashion revue will not be open to the public and will take place in the afternoon instead of the evening.

Talent Show: CANCELLED

Rabbit Show: The rabbit show was cancelled due to rabbit hemorrhagic disease.

Open Class Entries in Event Center: A few changes have been made to the entry time and release time of open class exhibits. Please see changes in the fair schedule.

Livestock sale: Only buyers will be allowed to watch the sale and no kids under 18 will be allowed in the stands. The BBQ is still being planned (subject to change) which takes place prior to the sale at 4:30 in the pavilion area.

Livestock shows: Classes may be smaller than in past years to account for distancing. As of today, animals will be stalled all week with spacing between families in the barns.
