Wondering What’s Up  

with the NEW Building? 

Here’s a few answers to the most FAQ 

It is currently known as “Building 3”

It is an “annex;” there will not be a front office staff in the building. All “walk‐ins” will con nue to enter through our current front doors in “building 4.”

It is expected to be completed by August 30, but they’re shoo ng for having it done before fair.

4‐H staff will remain in the current building, although we may move some offices around.

It will be approximately 5200 sq’ ; roughly the same size as our current building

It will include 5 office spaces, a small confer‐ence and visitors office space

A large teaching kitchen and mee ng/workshop facility—large enough to seat 80

This large room will have a pull divider, so the space can be split into 2 mee ng rooms if nec‐essary

It will have technology for video conferencing and presenta ons.

The contractor is Sun West Builders

We will have an open house‐likely a er state fair, but it depends on comple on date.

The Least You Should Know...

Some Basics about 4-H

The 4-H Creed: 

I believe in 4‐H for the opportunity it will give me to

become a useful citizen. I believe in the training of

my head for the power it will give me to think, plan,

and reason. I believe in the training of my heart for

the nobleness it will give me to become kind,

sympathetic, and true. I believe in the training of

my hands for the ability it will give me to become

helpful, useful, and skillful. I believe in the training

of my health for the strength it will give me to

enjoy life, to resist disease, and to work

efficiently. I believe in my country, my state, my

community, and in my responsibility for their

development. In all these things I believe, and I am

willing to dedicate my efforts to their fulfillment.

From March 1 – April 30, 2019 JOANN stores na onwide will ask their customers to donate towards the 4‐H pro‐gram. Both $1 and $4 dona ons are available. Purchase of $4 dona on comes with a $4 off a future purchase coupon.

Each register should have a small board with two “Clovers for Kids” tearaways posi oned at each register. Although store associates are encouraged to ask cus‐tomers to donate some mes this isn’t possible and the display boards are available to make the ask. In addi on, JOANN does not display the purchased tearaways. Tear‐aways have 4‐H informa on on them and the $4 version has a coupon redeemable for a later purchase that cus‐tomers should take with them.

Where does the money go? How is it used? 

All the funds go back to the 4‐H program. 70% goes to the state it was raised in. This money is unrestricted, so it can be used on anything. But, we suggest the funds be used on things that support JOANN type projects or ac‐

vi es. Because o en mes JOANN stores serve mul ple coun es there are no requirements that the funds go back to the city/county that they were raised in.

Is there an instore component? 

This year, the JOANN partnership does not have an in‐store component. In many cases JOANN stores are not set up to have a group of kids in store and the length of

me this campaign runs is not conducive to having a display in‐store the en re me. We do encourage pro‐grams that have a JOANN store to reach out, introduce themselves, and look for points of synergy in the future at the local level. There are many JOANN’s store manag‐ers that love working with local 4‐H programs on pro‐jects but in store par cipa on is not required for the Clovers for Kids POS campaign.

What are the expecta ons for the local 4-H program around this Clovers for Kids campaign? There are no specific expecta ons for the local 4‐H program. We do appreciate promo ng the campaign through social me‐dia #JOANNhearts4H and county/state newsle ers. At the state level please ensure it’s communicated with the coun es what the funds raised will go towards (ie schol‐arships to the consumerism na onal contest, mini grants, whatever your state decides). At the county level please communicate this informa on with your 4‐H leaders. If your leaders have ques ons about the part‐

nership we at Council are happy to speak with them about it.

Please do not inquire with store manag‐ers about partnership details (i.e. when we will receive payment, why aren’t the takeaways hung up, etc.) or ask these ques ons via social media.

Although not required if states want to do a thank you to their local JOANN stores following the campaign it’s appreciated. O en mes a local thank you is a li le more personal and special. We’ve seen some tremendously though ul and crea ve thank you videos, cards, and treats created through this partnership.

Why is this campaign longer than other POS campaigns we’ve done? 

Each POS campaign is developed in partnership with Na onal 4‐H Council and the corporate partner. These businesses know a tremendous amount about their av‐erage customer and their shopping/spending habits. In the case of JOANN customers, most visit a store on aver‐age once a month. Allowing the campaign to run for two months allows the average customer more then one chance to donate.

4-H Fabric 

4‐H fabric is on sale in 500 JOANNS stores na onwide. If your local store does not carry the fabric it is available via the JOANNS website or shop4‐H.org. A very small por on of the proceeds from the purchase of the fabric benefits the 4‐H program. A list of stores receiving the fabric has been shared at the state level. If sales of the fabric go well, there is poten al to expand it in the fu‐ture.

Rewards Card 

JOANN offers a special 15% off rewards coupon to 4‐H staff, leaders, members, and families. Full details about the program can be found at h ps://www.joann.com/4‐h/ The rewards card is done through an app on your smart phone and does not require par cipants to rereg‐ister each year. A small por on (2.5‐5%) of qualified pur‐chases go back to the 4‐H program from this.

Other ways JOANNS supports 4-H Na onally 

JOANN is a proud sponsor of the NAE4‐HA Conference and supports the Na onal 4‐H Conference in Atlanta as well.

Slappin’ Goats Or Pigs, or Sheep, or…

Like we talked about

at the livestock advi‐

sory mee ng a couple

months ago, this is

your reminder. All

animals not only need

to be treated humane‐

ly, ac ons must also be perceived as being humane.

Slapping animals for a ghtening of the loin or un‐

derline is NOT acceptable and will NOT be tolerat‐

ed. This is a 4‐H Fair and Show—the public is here

to see animals and youth caring for animals, they

don’t care about underlines and toplines. Always

be mindful of someone might be perceiving what‐

ever it is you are doing and remember no ma er

where you are on the grounds, ethics ma er and

likely someone is filming yours. Leave NO ques on,

treat your animals well with animal and personal

ethics above reproach.

YQCA, Get on Board Finally a National online livestock quality assurance

educational platform exists. YQCA is replacing PQA

(pork quality assurance) and for a variety of state,

regional, and national shows certification may be

required for members who exhibit market animals

and in the future for all who exhibit at certain

shows. YQCA certification has been up and running

smoothly for over a year. We also have several

available “hands on” educators in Oregon teaching

from the curriculum as well as sharing additional

materials and curriculum.

The online curriculum is available for students

at: http://yqca.org/

There is a fee to work through the curriculum and

take the test to get certified. When local teachers

are using the curriculum in hands on workshops to

provide certification, there will also be a cost , un‐

less they have local sponsors.

I encourage you to share this information with the

auction committee, this may be something they are

willing to sponsor in an effort to provide the best

possible food to buyers. Pop‐Ups—NOT ok at the County Fair

4‐Hers and their families are not allowed to bring pop‐up tents to the barn or any area where

the public might be; not for grooming or for hanging out under. Only in your campground area are they

allowed—and no animals go to the camping area. Marginally or unsecured pop‐ups in a decent wind

storm serve as unpredictable lances of impalement. If everyone brings one, it will also not be very eye

appealing and space may not be available. Groom in the barn, leaving no ques on of what you’re up to.

If at some point we decide for capacity purposes we need more space for grooming, we’ll ask the fair‐

grounds to set up a tent for the purpose to be shared by all.

“Born & Bred” ‐ All Species

There seems to be many interpreta ons of the

statement “Born and Bred.” In addi on, in every

industry, species, etc. there is some different twist

to this class. Here’s what it means in Deschutes

County and Oregon State 4‐H.

Part A, BORN; This means the animal has to be born

on your place or land you’ve leased, or where you

keep your animals near you—where you care for

them every or nearly every day, they are under

your careful watch and management. Born to an

animal YOU own, that you take care of, manage,

year around, not just for show season or since June

1. YOUR female.

Part B, BRED; This means a female animal you own,

manage and care for daily, is bred by AI of sperm

you have research and selected or a male that you

have chosen and selected for reasons of herd im‐

provement, quality off‐spring, etc. or of course your

own herd/flock sire. Then said product is “Born”

back under your oversight.

What Born & Bred is NOT

Purchasing a bred animal and calling its off‐

spring born and bred; it was born, NOT bred

It is not using your male animal to breed some‐

one else’s female, keeping an offspring and call‐

ing those off spring born and bred; they were

bred, not born.

Can the purchased bred female become a born

and bred? YES, of course. Once she gives birth

and YOU manage the breeding process and her

next animal is born under your watchfulness,

then her offspring would be born and bred.

State Issues 2‐Year Trial on Using Prong Collars for Goats A bit against my be er judgement, we are going to

give this a try as well. Here’s the thing: if you use a

prong collar on your goat ...

You must be prepared to explain to any mem‐ber of the public why it’s a be er choice for the goat, than a collar or choke chain

You must use it at ALL mes humanely

If a superintendent, leader, or 4‐H staff mem‐ber says NO, or asks for its removal—no argu‐ment… you may ask why and then we can all discuss the reason out behind the barn, but at that moment, you will remove it un l we have

me to discuss the challenge.

Make no mistake, I understand if used correctly this could be a win for our goats, I also know what the public will think; so if you don’t have a clear understanding of why it’s a good choice for you, don’t use it. AND the usage of pronged collars will be very closely monitored.

Many Thanks to…

For their recent horse and livestock feed and nu‐tri on clinic. They provided a great day of educa‐

on and lunch. Thanks also to their co‐sponsors:
