Changes to Wyoming 4-H for 2017-2018
year by Johnathan Despain As promised from the State 4-H Team meeting in Riverton and the feedback from you from a conference call, here are changes to the 4-H contests and events for 2017-18 4-H year:
Judging contests that involve oral reasons (Horse, Meats,
Livestock, Produce) will change to: Seniors will give 4 sets of reasons, Intermediates will give 2 sets of reasons and answer 2 sets of questions, Juniors will have the option to give one set of reasons (with the lowest possible score being a 35) and answer 3 or 4 questions classes depending on if they chose to give reasons or not.
Only Junior and Senior teams can be identified for competi-
tions (Livestock Skill-A-Thon, Hippology, Food Cook-Off, Cake Decorating and Dog Skill-A- Thon). However, each county can enter unlimited number of team designations.
Food Cook-Off will now have teams options of 2-5 people per
team. The reason for this is so that our team numbers match up with the National Food Challenge. The winning senior team will be offered the opportunity to compete at the Nation-al Food Challenge in Texas.
Starting with the 2019 Western National 4-H Round-Up, at-
tending will be an option for all senior aged (14-18) Wyoming 4-H members. There will be no addition financial support pro-vided for individuals who want to go as delegates, but they can choose to attend using a registration process like CWF and LWF.
WSF- Wyoming 4-H will only have one sheep showmanship
contest instead of two (all three age divisions will be the same). Sheep exhibitors can enter a breeding or market ani-mal in showmanship, but will all be judged in one showman-ship class (with three age divisions). Wording will be added to the WSF to indicate and support the differences in showing styles should not be considered in placing and communicate that with the judge at the contest.
WSF- Attempt to move the 4-H Swine Showmanship Contest
to 1:00 pm on Thursday.
WSF-Attempt to move the judging for Fashion Show contest-
ants to be on Friday and Saturday and move the Fashion Revue (Show) to Saturday night.

Respect is very important in our rela-
tionships with others. When we re-
spect others, we treat them with con-
sideration and courtesy both verbally
and physically. Respect for others
should always be demonstrated and
characterizes how we live our lives. It
is a very important quality that will
enable you to relate to and work well
with others. Follow the Golden Rule;
treat others the way that you would
want them to treat you. Good manners
matter and respect is demonstrated
when consideration and kindness is
shown to others. Respect is very im-
portant to a person of character.
The laughs gained with play-
ing this game with your club
can add some fun and give
your club members the judg-
ment to understand that the
humor can be funny to listen
to, but not funny if it is act-
ed out. Some examples in-
clude:
You feel a sneeze com-
ing, so you
a) look for someone to sneeze on b) cover your mouth and nose with your hands c) turn your head away from people and let the sneeze out
as loudly as possible. Company is over. And you
notice that after the
meal, your mom has a big
piece of lettuce on her
tooth. You
a) point at it and start laughing as loud as you can,
b) ask if anyone can tell which of your mom's teeth is not like the oth-er,
c) quietly whisper in your mom's ear that she should check her teeth in the bathroom.
Once your 4-Her’s under-
stand the idea behind making
up scenarios for the game,
they will want to make up
some of their own, too.
Now, when club members
treat each other or posses-
sions with respect, remem-
ber to say,
“Check for respect.”
Check for Respect 4-H
What is Respect?
RESPECT
Clover Connection Head - think before you say
something or before you act.
Heart - treat others the
way you would want to be
treated.
Hands – manners matter...use
them.
Health – be respectful of
your body and take care of
yourself.

Treat other people the way
you want to be treated.
Tell the truth
Be courteous and polite.
Listen to what other people have
to say.
Don't insult people, or make fun

Don't bully or pick on others.
Don't judge

Physical Activity Physical activity is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Being active is important because it strengthens your bones and muscles, can help you reach or maintain a healthy
weight, and decreases your risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high
blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Be-ing active can also boost your mood and energy. Any activity that increases your heart rate counts as physical activity. To get the most benefit, physical activity should be either moderate or vigorous. Moderate activities increase your breathing so you can still talk but not easily. Vigorous activi-ties make it hard to talk without stopping. Moderate physical activities include walking briskly, slow bicy-cling, gardening, water aerobics, and golf. Vigorous activities include jogging, walking quickly, fast bicycling, swimming, and competitive sports. Adults should be active for at least 150 minutes at the moder-ate level or 75 minutes at the vigorous level each week. Aim to be active every day. The more active you are, the more your health will benefit. To help get enough physical activity each week try being active for 10 minutes at a time several times a day. Take the stairs at work, go for a walk after din-ner, follow an exercise video on YouTube, or play a game outside with your kids.
