Dave and Samara and been working hard to ensure that Crook County 4-H continues to deliver programming in our community even when we can’t meet in person. We held two successful virtual contests in the last month and were so glad that many of you took advantage of the opportunity to participate. As you know, our programming will remain on pause until after June 30th. We are still continuing to plan for all events after June 30th, including fair. Please try to remain flexible and open minded as we continue to program and try to pick up where we left off when we can meet in person again. This newsletter includes updates about record book check in’s and declaring ownership of market swine, sheep & goats. Be sure to take a look! But first, we wanted to highlight one of our awesome 4-H members who is working hard to make sure those in her community stay healthy and safe by making face coverings! Rilee Dennis has made over 80 face coverings and is still making them! Before she started making the face coverings, she researched materials and patterns to create the best fitting covering. She has been making them in sizes for adults and kids and she has had people in our community donate money and supplies so she can keep making them! So far she has shipped these homemade face coverings to people in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Way to go Rilee!!

Program Update from 4-H/Extension Staff

Hello Crook County 4-H! We hope you are doing well and staying healthy. Dave and Samara and been

working hard to ensure that Crook County 4-H continues to deliver programming in our community

even when we can’t meet in person. We held two successful virtual contests in the last month and were

so glad that many of you took advantage of the opportunity to participate.

As you know, our programming will remain on pause until after June 30th. We are still continuing to

plan for all events after June 30th, including fair. Please try to remain flexible and open minded as we

continue to program and try to pick up where we left off when we can meet in person again.

This newsletter includes updates about record book check in’s and declaring ownership of market

swine, sheep & goats. Be sure to take a look! But first, we wanted to highlight one of our awesome 4-H

members who is working hard to make sure those in her community stay healthy and safe by making

face coverings!

Rilee Dennis has made over 80 face coverings and is still making them! Before she started making the

face coverings, she researched materials and patterns to create the best fitting covering. She has been

making them in sizes for adults and kids and she has had people in our community donate money and

supplies so she can keep making them! So far she has shipped these homemade face coverings to

people in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Way to go Rilee!!

Having trouble with your record book? We will be hosting four workshops to help

4-H’ers and their families tackle record books! These workshops will be held via zoom so you can join from

the comfort of your living room. Each workshop will focus on a different area of your record book. Feel free

to tune in for all four or pick and choose to get help with the sections you need. Everyone will have the

chance to ask questions during the workshop so be sure to write down any that come up as you are work-

ing. Keep an eye on your email, Samara will be sending out the zoom link and call in information. The top-

ics will be:

May 12th: 4-H Story and general organization

May 14th: Advancements & Project Records

May 19th: 4-H Resume

May 27th: Prepare for record book check-ins, Q&A, all sections covered

Record Book Check Ins Due to in person 4-H events being paused until after June 30th, we have received lots of questions about

record book check ins. Record Book Check-Ins will still be held June 8, 10, 16 & 18. Check-ins will take

place virtually and you will be emailed a link to sign up for a date and time (on one of the 4 listed dates)

that works best for you. Things will look slightly different because the 4-H volunteer who is talking with you

about your records will not be able to flip through your book during the check in. However, we still expect

that each of the requirements listed below are met.

Reminder: You must attend at least one record book check in to participate in Crook County Fair.

Requirements for record book check-in:

Section 1 & 2 of 4-H Resume completed for previous year and started for current year

All other section of 4-H Resume must show progression in activities

Section 11 of 4-H Resume completed for previous year

Project records for the current year must be up to date

Advancements must show progression not necessary for record book check in 2020

Previous 4-H year Story and Project Records, including financial summary must be completed and

closed out for the year

If you have questions about record books prior to check-in be sure to attend a record book workshop listed

above, or contact Samara at the Extension Office [email protected] or 541-447-6228.

Attention Swine, Sheep & Goat members

Due to recent events, the 4-H/FFA in-person swine, sheep, and goat weigh in and tagging

scheduled for May 13, 2020, has been cancelled. In lieu of the regular process, 4-H/FFA

members will be required to show proof of ownership of their animal(s), (backups included,

one backup per member, family members may share a backup but both members need to

submit a photo with the animal individually) in the following manner:

● Families will be required to send a photo of the member with their animal, clearly

showing identifying characteristics, colors, markings, existing tag numbers, ear

notches, etc. One photo per animal, so if the member has both a primary animal

and a backup, there will need to be two photos submitted. Please email the

picture (cell phone pictures are fine) to [email protected] .

Please put the member’s name in the subject line.

● These pictures must be received no later than May 13, 2020, no exceptions.

Pictures will be accepted any time up to that date.

● Scrapies tags will be provided for sheep and goat exhibitors by the extension

office if needed. Please call or email the extension office to arrange this.

● No weight will be recorded at this time. This will make it necessary to implement a MINI-

MUM and a MAXIMUM weight at fair for swine, sheep, and goats.

○ SWINE weights 230-300 pounds (this is unchanged)

○ SHEEP weights 105-165 pounds

○ GOAT weights 75-115 pounds

○ Beef are exempt as they have already had their regular weigh-in and

tagging.

If you have any questions about the above outlined process please contact a sale

committee member, Dave ([email protected]) or Samara

([email protected]) as soon as possible.
