DESCRIPTION:All Delaware County 4-H Members who intend to participate in any 4-H animal show at the Delaware County Fair must participate in the animal handling program to be eligible to show. This requirement will be offered by 4-H age categories as outlined: • Cloverbud (5-7 y\o) • Junior (8-13 y\o) • Senior (14-19 y\o).Members will need to participate in the handling program the first year they show in their appropriate age category and when they move up in age category (ex. A new 5-year-old Cloverbud will participate in Cloverbud handling, then when they turn 8, they will participate in Junior handling; finally, when they turn 14, they will participate in Senior handling).  The purpose of the Animal Handling Program is to provide youth with a safe, positive, and educational experience while working with live animals. The program is designed to ensure that all 4-H youth develop a consistent understanding of the skills, knowledge, and appropriate conduct necessary to work safely and responsibly with animals while maintaining proper control. Appropriate handling practices in the agriculture industry are constantly improving and evolving. For this reason, youth should have continuing education opportunities that will address any of these changes.
