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. The Integrity Pledge is found on the Day County Website, the Thursday Thoughts and at the Extension Office. They must be read, signed and turned in, on or before Wednesday, August 7.

Individual families are asked to sign up for shifts that work best for their fair schedule. Everyone is asked to take a shift. If shifts are available after July 31, families that are not already signed up will be assigned. Please use the link below to sign up.

Volunteers are essential for Display Exhibit Judging. Judges Assistants will sit with, and help judges with both interview and non-interview judged projects. The assistants will also help maintain the book with ribbon placings and scratches. Ribbon stickers will be attached at the time and assistants will help place Judges Choice & Best of Show Ribbons on projects before displaying.

Assistants will be needed Wednesday, August 7th 3:30-approx 7 PM or finished.

Please review the available slots through the Sign-Up Genius link below. Thank you!

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.
