OFFICIAL HEALTH CERTIFICATE – REMINDER An Official Health Certificate with each animal identified will be required on all livestock showing at the 2009 Dixie

National Junior Round-Up. This includes all market animals, beef breeding cattle, commercial beef heifers, dairy cattle (purebred and commercial dairy heifers), dairy goats and commercial meat goat does. Because the market shows are non-terminal, all market animals must be accompanied with an official health certificate obtained from a veterinarian.

ANIMAL HEALTH RECORDS Any animal that is to be shown at the 2009 Dixie National Junior Round-Up must have a completed health record

listing all medications and treatments received within 60 days prior to the show. The completed health record on all market animals, commercial beef heifers, commercial meat goat does and commercial dairy heifers will be turned in to show management at weigh-in of the animals. Completed health records on beef breeding cattle and purebred dairy cattle will be turned in to show management at the check-in of registration papers.

REMINDER – 2009 DISTRICT AND JUNIOR ROUND-UP SHOWS!! ◆PURCHASING PROJECT ANIMALS FOR SPRING SHOWS

Spring shows will be here soon. Now is a good time to run a final survey of your 4-H’ers to determine if additional purchases are needed and to be locating them. The only ownership deadlines that have passed are for commercial beef heifers, steers, lambs and market goats. You still have until December 1st to purchase your hogs, beef breeding, dairy cattle commercial meat goat does and dairy goats. Ownership deadlines on project animals for spring shows are: Dairy Cattle December 1 Hogs December 1 Dairy Goats December 1 Beef Breeding December 1 Commercial Meat Goat Does December 1

◆CATTLE REGISTRATION PAPERS FOR JUNIOR SHOWS Double check registration papers on breeding beef and purebred dairy to be sure they are in proper

order. Now is the time to correct any problems. Remember that papers must be in the 4-H’ers name only. Farm names or joint ownership with adults are not acceptable. DON’T ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING IS RIGHT – CHECK!! Papers may be in multiple siblings’ names provided they are all 18 years of age or younger.

◆ENTRIES FOR DISTRICT & ROUND-UP SHOWS

Now is the time to be getting your entries in order. All market swine, beef breeding, dairy cattle, dairy goat, commercial meat goat doe and showmanship entries must be entered on the Extension Intranet by December 3, 2008. Counties will make all entries through the livestock intranet entry program developed by John Giesemann. All original nomination forms must be sent to the ADS Office along with a printout of all entries with the signature of the person in your county with 4-H Livestock responsibilities verifying that all entries are complete and accurate. These forms must be postmarked by December 3rd.

◆STEERS, COMMERCIAL BEEF HEIFERS, COMMERCIAL DAIRY HEIFERS, MARKET GOATS AND COMMERCIAL MEAT GOAT DOES

Double check with your 4-H’ers who are exhibiting steers, commercial beef heifers, commercial dairy heifers, market goats and commercial meat goat does about horns. All commercial beef heifers, steers, market goats and commercial meat goat does showing at the District and Round-Up Shows must be polled or dehorned, with no scurs or regrowth to exceed 1½ inches above the skin. All commercial dairy heifers must be dehorned. Too often with a poor job of dehorning, regrowth may occur. Now is the time to take off the horns or any regrowth to allow for proper healing.

Registered heifers are not eligible for the commercial heifer shows.

▶2009 DIXIE NATIONAL JUNIOR ROUND-UP SCHEDULE Note that there are some significant changes to the 2009 Dixie National Junior Round-Up schedule. The schedule has been altered in an attempt to have 1) all beef breeding cattle show on a single day (Tuesday morning starting at 8:00 a.m. in the Coliseum); 2) a combined showmanship for goat exhibitors on Monday afternoon in the Judging Arena, starting 30 minutes after lamb showmanship (market goat exhibitors competing with commercial meat goat doe exhibitors); and 3) the market goat show start at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning in the Swine Arena (Barn 6), running concurrently with the Commercial Beef Heifer/Beef Breeding Show in the Coliseum as well as the Market Lamb Show in the Judging Arena. These changes are necessary to allow for the fairgrounds to be prepared for the Sale of Champions, Junior Dairy Goat Show and open livestock shows later in the week.
