4-H E-Records

1) Record Books: 4-Hers showing livestock, horse or pet/exotic projects are required to present a current (up-to-date) record book at check in time. If the books aren't current, you will not be allowed to show. This applies to: horse, beef, sheep, swine, dairy cattle, goats, poultry, rabbits, dogs, cats and alpaca/llamas.

Your e-Record books (for these projects) cannot be completely finished since you won’t have show or sale results, but all other project information up until fair time should be recorded. To have your record books up to date, the following information is required:
