Animals cannot weigh over 250 lbs. and must be: • One of the following breeds: Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, or
Jersey • Castrated & Dehorned
Each member can either: • Weigh in a maximum of two feeders or, • Within immediate families of more than one exhibitor: each member may
weigh in one feeder, and one “family alternate” can be weighed in for the family. Only one feeder per exhibitor can be brought to fair when a family alternate has been weighed in.
It’s required that by Fair, every feeder must have a RFID tag (radio frequency identification) in their ear. If you have any questions, contact Superintendent Mike Lattimer at (989) 513-7839.
VERY IMPORTANT - for 4-H parents, grandparents, guardians and relatives
4-H is making the utmost attempt at making sure our youth are always safe. Therefore, MSU Extension has implemented a Gold and Silver volunteer screening process for different levels of volunteer status.
ALL parents, grandparents, guardians, other relatives and friends of 4-H MUST be screened at the Silver Status level to work in the 4-H food stand, monitor the Still Exhibit Building and work at a registration table. Please take the time to do the Silver Volunteer Status screening. It is free, easy to do and takes very little time. All that is required is to fill out a short volunteer application for a Silver level volunteer, and provide consent for a background check. No references or interviews will be needed (unless you wish to move to a Gold volunteer status at some point in the future).
Please read the information in the newsletter (pages 14 & 15) for more details regarding the volunteer application process.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Kristi (989-317-4079 or [email protected]) and she will be happy to answer any questions.
Thank you for supporting the youth and families of Isabella County 4-H!

There will be a $15 fee for the cords that WILL be refunded upon return of the cords in good condition to the office. Those seniors who wish to keep their honor cords may purchase them for the same amount.
Small Animal News
• Goats that will be entered in the small animal auction at the fair MUST have a scrapie tag BEFORE weigh-in. It is a State mandate, and if your auction goat does not have a scrapie tag, you will not be allowed to sell. ALL goats must have some identification -- either the scrapie tag or a tattoo for those not in the auction. Goat weigh-in (for wethers only) is May 3 from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. in the small animal barn at the fairgrounds.
• If you do not already have your small animal purchase arranged, you should do so now. For example, there are only a couple of rabbit shows before the May 1 deadline and if you haven't placed an order or made contact with someone, it may be too late to get the breed you would like to have. If you wait until April 15 or later, it will be very difficult to have your animal(s) by May.
• Reminder, if you live outside of Isabella County and plan to sell in the small animal auction, you will need approval from the Small Animal Association. Plan to attend their next meeting on Thursday, March 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the Isabella County Building. If you have already met with the Small Animal Association to sell in the auction and were approved, you do not have to do it again.
• Rabbit members - when shopping for your fair animal, it is beneficial to work with a reputable breeder; someone who guarantees their animals. We suggest you not purchase your rabbits from pet stores or swaps. Take your breed standard when you go shopping so you can have a guide for finding a good representation. For instance, make sure a Mini Rex doesn't have too long of ears; a Dutch doesn't have a split stop or cheek color into the mouth; any of the lop breeds need to have a correct crown; etc. You need to purchase a rabbit with a full pedigree. Only first year members are allowed to have a mixed breed rabbit, which does not mean a recognized breed with disqualifications.

4-H Exploration Days is an annual state youth conference that is open to all youth ages 11-19, by January 1.

2020 Isabella County Youth Discussion Meet Competition 1st Prize $100, 2nd Prize $75 - Awarded from Isabella County 4-H Council
(Minimum of 12 participants) Partnered with Farm Bureau
If you are a high school student interested in creative problem solving in a collaborative team/group
environment, this contest is for you!
What is a Discussion Meet?
The Michigan Farm Bureau (MFB) Youth Discussion Meet is a contest sponsored by the MFB
Young Farmer program. The contest itself involves a moderator and contestants. The moderator’s
responsibility is to introduce the topic and the contestants, start the discussion, keep it on track and
see that no one monopolizes the time. The contestants discuss a pre-selected topic. We are
excited to offer this opportunity to all high school youth in Isabella County!
The three fundamental bases of general discussion are constructive criticism, cooperation and
communication. With this in mind, the participant’s responsibility is to exchange ideas and
information to solve a problem. The discussion should not be “conversation” or aimless talk nor
should the participant take the role of a persuasive speaker. The participant should attempt to
cooperatively shed further light on the problem and tentatively retain a flexible position. A successful
participant is a productive thinker rather than an emotional persuader, who is free to state beliefs
and change positions whenever new information and ideas make that a reasonable thing to do.
The discussion should follow these steps: 1. State the problem or need. 2. Explore, define and
understand the problem or need. 3. Identify causes of problem or need. 4. Elaborate all possible
alternative solutions. 5. Evaluate and compare alternatives. 6. Test and project what appears to be
the best solution. 7. Arrive at ways to implement the solution. 8. Teach the value of compromise. 9.
Develop leaders.
If you are interested in competing in this exciting educational event which will held at the Isabella
County Building starting at 8:30 a.m. on April 14, please register to attend the Discussion Meet
orientation meeting with Kristi Schreiber on Monday, March 23 from 6-8 p.m. Everything you need
to know about this event including the three topics to be discussed will be covered in detail. We look
forward to seeing you there!

Scholarship Opportunities
Isabella County 4-H Scholarship Isabella County offers two $500 scholarships to 4-H members or former members each year. The scholarship recipient must be enrolled at an institution of higher learning and have been involved with 4-H in Isabella County. The scholarship is not limited to college freshmen. To get an application, click here: Isabella County 4-H Scholarship or you may pick one up at the Extension office. Applications are due back to the office by April 20. The scholarship recipients will be notified by May 15.
Kathryn Methner Fike Scholarship For high school seniors and current college students. Thank you to the family of Kathryn Virginia Methner Fike for establishing a $1000 scholarship in her name to benefit 4-H members in Isabella County. Kathryn Virginia Methner Fike was born on the farm of her parents in northeast Wise Township, Isabella County on Nov 21, 1918. Except for a few winters in Florida, she spent all most 96 years within 5 miles of her birthplace. She married Lester Fike on March 29, 1936 and spent over 60 years on what became the Fike Centennial Homestead. In her childhood years, she was a member of a 4-H sewing club lead by her mother, Daisy Methner. After having children of her own, she became a leader, too. She served in this capacity for many years. Kathryn took great pride in the accomplishments of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren in their 4-H activities. 4-H has been a top priority in Kathryn’s family for 5 generations and so it is with pride that her family is honoring Kathryn’s many years of dedication to 4-H education in Isabella County with this scholarship.

Attention Swine Exhibitors The Isabella County Livestock Producers, Rules Committee and Fair Board have
voted to strictly prohibit the use of Ractopamine (used in products such as Paylean
and other growth boosting supplements) in all swine. Violation may result in forfeiture
of sale check and/or suspension from exhibiting livestock at the Isabella County Fair.
Exhibitors are encouraged to have conversations with their breeders and feed
suppliers and be aware of the ingredients in the feed that they purchase. It is
important to clean equipment, feeders, feed storage and housing areas before swine
are brought home.
Exhibitors and their Parent/Guardian will be required to sign an affidavit at tag in on
May 3, 2020 stating that they understand that Ractopamine is NOT allowed to be fed
to their 2020 fair swine. A second signature will be obtained prior to unloading at the
fair stating that their swine were not fed ractopamine at any time.
The decision stems from communication by United Producers (UPI) who resells a
large number of our fair hogs. The letter stated that they will not be able to re-sell
swine where they cannot guarantee the animals are Ractopamine free. In order for
the Isabella County Fair to provide a market for our fair hogs, it is imperative that we
ensure the animals are free of Ractopamine. In past years, up to 42% of our hogs
were shipped to UPI for resale.
We’ve included some key points below:
• Ractopamine is strictly prohibited at the Isabella County Fair for all swine
• Exhibitors and parents must be aware of the ingredients in feed you purchase for
your swine project
• Have a conversation with your breeders and feed suppliers to ensure your hogs
are ractopamine free
• Clean equipment, feeders, housing areas, etc. before you start your 2020 swine
project
For more information:
• Read the MSU Extension FAQ, “How to best prepare for eliminating Ractopamine
from my swine project diets”
• Watch the recorded MSU Extension presentation online: https://
mediaspace.msu.edu/media/t/1_cxbt3m1m

Attention Rabbit Members
CRITICAL DETAILS FOR A RABBIT PEDIGREE Most 4-H members do not purchase a rabbit for purposes of breeding -- you are only looking for a
rabbit as your fair project, and that's just fine. You will care for the animal, work with it so you are
ready for your showmanship class, then you sell it in the auction. So what's the big deal about
having a complete and accurate pedigree -- and what does that even mean? The main reason we
have tried to encourage you to take the extra time focusing on the paperwork, is because of the
person(s) who may purchase the rabbit from our fair auction.
Due to some issues that have happened the past couple of years, we are trying to put additional
measures in place. When members attend showmanship clinics, we encourage everyone to bring
along your pedigree so we can head off any potential issues and still have time to correct issues if
needed. If you do not plan to sell your rabbit in the auction, we still encourage you to have a
pedigree; we need to accurately account for all animals in the barn. The only exception would be a
first-year member who may have a mixed breed rabbit -- thus no pedigree. As a reminder, a mixed
breed rabbit is the product of different breeds crossed to produce a litter. It does not mean a
recognized breed with disqualifications.
As for what "complete and accurate" mean in the case of a rabbit pedigree, that piece of paper must
show that the breed you buy comes from the same breed used to produce it: Mini Rex says Mini
Rex on the pedigree, Dutch says Dutch, etc. Simple, right? Well, not always -- sometimes people
selling rabbits make mistakes too. We just need to make sure they are giving you the accurate
information. As for "complete," that means a lot of things including: ear number of animal you
purchased, weight if over six months old, variety, as well as all of those items for parents,
grandparents, and great-grandparents. It should also show the date of birth for the purchased
rabbit, and maybe most important so you can track down any of this missing information, is the
name and phone number or email address of the breeder. We need all 4-H members to take it
seriously that we need to have complete and accurate pedigrees for the animals that will be in the
small animal barn during fair week.
During fair check in day (July 19 -- just over 100 days away!), the pedigree station will be staffed with
extra volunteers this year, and if there is an issue with the pedigree you present, we can't list you in
the auction until the matter is resolved. (If you do not plan to sell in the auction, there will be a form
you can sign stating that fact.) Since we deliver the auction information to the Extension Office
Tuesday afternoon, that means there is a short window of time to accomplish the task. Thus, we
encourage you to take the time now while you are shopping for your rabbit to talk over the paper-
work with the person you are buying from, look at the pedigree very carefully, and ask questions -- if
it's not right or they aren't being helpful, find someone else to buy from. That may be hard to do if
you find exactly what you are looking for, but we wanted to share this added information so no one is
surprised. As we shared, to guard yourself against any surprises, feel free to bring your pedigree to
a showmanship clinic and we'll look it over then so you have more time if you need to reconnect with
the person from whom you purchased your animal.
