Good afternoon,

Please share the information in this email with your 4-H photography project members/leaders and social media outlets.  Attached are two versions of a promotional flyer that outlines details for the two upcoming Junior Master Photographer (JMP) workshops.

I have also attached 2 different brochures describing the JMP and Ambassador programs.  To be clear about this process, youth must first become a certified Junior Master Photographer to be eligible to become an ambassador.  There is no upfront application process for JMP.  Eligible youth simply register for and receive training at the JMP workshops.  Applications for certification and ambassadorship come later for those who have completed the trainings and a few additional requirements.

Good afternoon!

It is hard to believe that school is going to be starting right around the corner.  That also means that the Fall Validation tag order is due to kick off as well.  Species that we will be validating are heifers, lambs, goats, and swine.  However,  there are some changes with validation this year, they are listed below.

• Please remember to fill out the order form ONE time.  If you need to add to your order, call the office.  IF YOU HAVE DUPLICATE ORDER, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING THE DUPLICATES AS WELL AND THEY MUST BE PAID FOR 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO VALIDATION!

Here is the order form:  2023 Fall Validation Tag Order form

 New for 2023

1.  Payment for tags that are ordered MUST be received by the Extension office 2 weeks prior to validation. If we have not received payment prior to validation, you MAY NOT receive your tag. Payment is due when order is placed!!! NO EXCEPTION!!

2. Sheep & Goats: Lambs and goats validated in June for State Fair will be eligible for the 2024 spring major shows. Meaning they will not have to be revalidated in October, unless the following happens.

• a. Ownership changes
• b. If a TLBA/TGBA tag is acquired after the June Validation.
• c. This is for meat goat breeds only. Dairy goats do not have to be state validated!!

3. Heifers: Starting in 2023 heifers will now be receiving an EID tag for validation. Heifers that are already validated will NOT have to be revalidated. Revalidation is a MUST for the following reasons:

• a. Ownership changes
• b. Breed registration changes

Google order form.

For sheep, goats, and swine we are no longer ordering for either breeding or market animals.  We are going to order as species.  (Example if you have 1 breeding sheep and 1 market sheep you will order 2 sheep tags.)

PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING DEADLINES!!!!  THERE ARE SOME DIFFERNT DATES FOR DIFFERENT SPECIES!

 ******!!!!!!!! SHEEP/ GOAT !!!!!!!!!!*******
Tags ordered August 1 – August 31 will be $20 each (Sheep/Goat)
Tags ordered September 1 – September 15 will be $35 each (Sheep/Goat)

  *********!!!!!!!!!! HEIFER TAGS  !!!!!!!!!!**********

Tags ordered August 1 – August 31 will be $20 each
Tags ordered September 1 – September 15 will be $35 each

**NO LATE ORDERS FOR SHEEP, GOAT, OR HEIFERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 5PM ON SEPTEMBER 16th**   (NO EXCEPTIONS)
(These options will be removed from the order form at 5pm on September 15)

  *********!!!!!!!!!! Swine Tag Orders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**********
Tags ordered August 15 – September 15 will be $20 each (Swine Only)
Tags ordered September 16 – September 29 will be $25 each (Swine only)

****If you know what you are needing for swine tags prior to these dates you can go ahead and order them before August 15. But if you need do and need additional tags call the extension office to change your order.****

 !!!!!! NO LATE ORDERS FOR SWINE WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 5 PM ON SEPTEMBER 29!!!!!   (NO EXCEPTIONS)

   (Order form will be closed at 5 pm on September 29)

The Validation committee will be meeting soon to finalize dates and locations.  Once we have those finalized, I will be sending that information to everyone!
