South Dakota 4-H Livestock Integrity Pledge.
The 4-H Livestock Integrity Pledge takes the refreshing approach of placing trust in 4-H parents and youth.
We trust that our parents want 4-H to serve as a place for their youth to develop into contributing members of society—builders not takers. We trust that our youth want to be true 4-H’ers—desiring a good exhibition experience and willing to demonstrate personal responsibility.
This pledge is a required component of SD4-H’s livestock education program. Prior to agreeing, please read, consider, and adopt the Livestock Integrity Pledge’s principles in your livestock management plan and show preparations.
Shotgun Practice
Shotgun practice will be held Wednesday evenings at the Webster Clay Bird Club. Please sign up in the link below for practice times. Parent/Guardian is expect to attend no matter the age of 4H shooter. Good luck Day County 4H Shooters.
Please use button, link or QR Code attached to input information into a google form for the Certificate of Compliance (CoC). This is required for all 4-H events, meetings, clinics or practices you as leaders/volunteers are planning. Information needs to be input a minimum of 5 days prior to event to ensure proper filing of CoC.
If you have any questions feel free to contact the Extension Office.
