Fleming Co. Fall Show and Sale News...
------  --------  --------------------------------------------------------------------  ------  ------
4-H members needing 6 hours of classes
4-H members need 6 hours of classes before 
tagging feeder claves, lambs, hogs or goats on May 10, 
if you did not receive your 6 hours, you were not be allowed to tag animals.

--------  ------  ------
Fleming Co. Fall Show and Sale Rule changes for 2007 
as adopted by the 4-H and FFA LIA Committee
A 4-H or FFA may sell only one animal per year in the Fleming County Fall Show and Sale.  
That one animal can be either beef/lamb/hog.
Hogs will sell at the Fleming County Fall Show and Sale and not at the Ewing Fair.
There is no Ewing Fair Hog Show sponsored by the 4-H and FFA LIA.
Beef and lambs must show at the Ewing Fair in order to be eligible to sell at the 
Fleming County Fall and sale.
Feeder Calves will sell at the Fleming county Fall Show and Sale and 
count as the one animal sold per year by members and must show at Ewing.  
Feeders will be shown in a light weight steer class.
Heifers will sell at the Fleming County Fall Show and Sale as Market Heifers 
and count as the one animal sold per year by members and must show at Ewing.
Beef Showmanship will be held at the Fleming County Fall Show and Sale 
which will include feeder calves and heifers.  Lamb and Hog Showmanship will also be held.
------  --------  --------------------------------------------------------------------  ------  ------
RUles for 4-H’ERS SHOWING Livestock!
Kentucky 4-H has a rule which will affect every 4-H Member interested in showing livestock. 
For animals that must attend a tagging day 
(market steers, market lambs, market hogs and market goats), 
members must attend 6 hours of educational classes BEFORE the tagging date. 
Failure to do so will eliminate the 4-H Member from participating in the livestock program.   
In addition, all members with breeding animals – 
beef, lamb, hogs, goats and dairy will also need the 6 hours.
Any member who has any interest in showing any of the 
above animals is strongly encouraged to attend.  
------  --------  --------------------------------------------------------------------  ------  ------
Members showing Market steer and Market heifers 
needed the 6 hours before tagging in mid February.
To be eligible to show and sell a market animal in Fleming County, 
the member must currently be in the 4^th thru the 12^th grade. 
However, rules for Germantown and District/State Fair states 
that a member can be 9 years old on Jan 1, 2008 and 
be eligible to show at those levels. 
Students meeting that age limit also were required 
to receive the 6 hours of classroom instruction.
Once again, failure to attend 6 hours of educational classes 
eliminates the 4-H member from participation. 
If you have any questions, please call the Fleming County Extension Office at 845-4641.  
Also, Livestock Judging Practice did not cover the 6 hours.
------  --------  --------------------------------------------------------------------  ------  ------

Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service

Fleming County 4H Silver Stirrups Competes At District

Five Fleming County 4H Silver Stirrups members recently 
competed on the District Level for an opportunity to compete at the 
State 4H Horse Show in Louisville. 
Kayla Jones, Lea Dryden, Shayla Robinson, Chad Martin and Nathan Adamson 
have put in long hours practicing for the event. 
Each participated in a variety of classes at the show held recently. 
We wish to congratulate Lea, Shayla, Chad and Nathan for 
advancing on to the State Contest.  
In addition, several other Silver Stirrups members 
and their families will attend the State Show to cheer on our members. 
The trip to Louisville is made possible by the 
hard work of members and their families, 
plus the kind donations made in support of the two 
Fun Shows put on by the club each year.

The Silver Stirrups is going great, so let’s keep it up!

VISIT A VIRTUAL 4-H FARM

Walk Your Land 
is a program intended to help landowners 
protect their property against methamphetamine production. 

Do you know that methamphetamine labs are 
often found in rental properties and homes? 
Homes used to produce meth pose a risk to 
vulnerable adults and children who live with people who make meth. 
If you visit these homes, your health may also be at risk. 

Suspicions of meth production are nothing to hide. Ignoring these signs may put the 
health of present and future residents of a meth-production site at risk.  
Although clean-up of a dwelling may be expensive, the health risks cost much more.  
If you find evidence of a meth lab on your property.  

DO NOT Smell, DO NOT Move, DO NOT Examine, DO NOT Throw Away Solid Waste, 
DO NOT Pour or Flush Liquid Waste, DO NOT Use Containers You Suspect 
Have Been Used for Meth Production
