The success of this program is attributed to the involvement of the 4-H Club members, parents, and leaders. The future of this sale is based on buyer SATISFACTION. We should do everything possible to please the buyers. Let s remember these buyers are doing this as a service and they do not need to do this. They are going out of there way to assist YOU (4-H ers). I have listed steps which will assist 4-H members and parents with the animal sale procedure. Please follow these guidelines: 1) One parent should attend the sale committee meetings in January. A letter will be mailed out at a later date. 2) Exhibitors should give a personal THANK YOU to buyer s right after the sale. If you do not know who bought your animal, ask the parents giving buyers caps. Parents, please get exhibitors to THANK buyers the day of the sale. This does mean a lot to the buyers.
3 3) Exhibitor should give caps to buyers during the sale. 4) You will receive a letter with information about the buyer and slaughter house location right after the district show. 5) Market animals are NOT TO BE BROUGHT TO SLAUGHER HOUSE UNTIL ONE WEEK AFTER LAST SHOW DATE. You will need to feed animal(s) one week after the show to insure a wholesome product. 6) Take animal off medicated feed. Read feed tag for withdrawal period. You need to follow withdrawal period on all antibiotics. 7) CALL BUYER and slaughter house prior to bringing animal(s). 8) Exhibitor is to pay slaughter cost ONLY. 9) Deliver meat to buyer if possible. 10) A THANK YOU letter or card is to be written for each buyer. The original is to be sent to the 4-H office with a stamped envelope. We will mail them at the 4-H Office. AN EXHIBITOR WILL NOT RECEIVE HIS/HER CHECK UNTIL WE GET THE THANK YOU LETTER(S). 11) An animal ran through Parish Sale MUST show at District to receive money from the sale.

A health care program is a very important part of the livestock show project and can play a significant role in the success of your program. The most expensive thing an exhibitor can do is harbor unhealthy animals. Unhealthy animals will lower feed efficiency which will reduce weight gains and increase feed cost. Unhealthy animals will have a poor appetite causing even lower weigh gains. Unhealthy animals will have a rough dry hair coat (sheep wool loss) which is a characteristic unsuitable in show animals. Unhealthy animals may have droopy ears, hold head down, and act sluggish which again are characteristics unbecoming of show animals. Disease prevention is much less expensive than treatment. Disease is simply defined as deviation (change or different) from the norm. So, what can we do to prevent diseases? DISEASE PREVENTION 1. Prevent exposure to disease producing organism. A. Practice good sanitation keep bedding, housing, feed pans, and water buckets clean from manure and any other foreign matter. B. Isolate new animals when possible, isolate new animals for 30 days to prevent exposure to diseases.
4 C. Eradiate diseases when possible eliminate and keep diseases from your livestock show program as much as possible. D. Maintain a good environment build a facility that will provide an environment to raise animals. There will be some differences between species, but an animal will need a covered shelter for adverse weather conditions. This shelter should provide comfortable living conditions for animals. E. Water animal at show Do not provide water to an animal from a bucket that another animal drank from. You need to provide animals water from your buckets/pans ONLY. 2. Keep resistance high in animals. A. Provide adequate nutrition feed fresh (free of mold) and highly digestible feed. Make sure the animal s nutritional requirements are met. B. Routine Vaccination Program listed below. Read the label because some vaccines differ on whether they require booster vaccinations and the time interval to administer. C. Selection of sound animals Always select animals for show purposes that have a healthy normal gait. Gait is defined as the way an animal walks or runs. Select an animal that does not have a limp and free of diseases. 3. Prevent the spread of diseases. A. Isolate sick animals when possible, sick animals should be isolated from other animals. B. Early diagnosis You need to know the signs of a sick animal and/or healthy animal. What is abnormal? C. Close observation of livestock project watch your animal(s) everyday to observe any abnormal behavior. D. External parasites you need to control horn flies, stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, and mosquitoes to prevent illness. A good treatment of pyrethrin will help control external parasites. Read label for application. E. Internal parasites the use of dewormers (anthelmintics) to control internal parasites can be very successful. Show animals should be treated for internal parasites every 21 to 31 days. It is best to use a deworming product as long as it will work and then rotate to another product. A continuous rotation of anthelmintics will allow the parasites to build-up resistances to the different drugs and you will not be able to control the parasite. Keep in mind there are many effective anthelmintics on the market use the product that is best for your operation. 4. Veterinarian It is very important that you develop a good working relationship with a local veterinarian. They will give assistances and guidance in maintaining healthy show animals. 5. Good records are helpful Record keeping is needed for a sound vaccination program. It will also assist in the diagnosis and treatment of illness. VACCINATION PROGRAM BEEF/DAIRY 1. Calves (3 to 6 months of age) A. Blackleg 7 or 8 way clostridial complex vaccine. 2. Calves (6 to 10 months of age) A. Brucellosis vaccination for heifers only. (Requires a veterinarian to administer vaccine). B. IBR, BVD, BRSV, PI3 - Caution: Do not use IBR modified live virus on nursing calves because it causes abortion in cattle. If wean calves at 6 months, us IBR & BVD of modified live virus. If wean calves after 6 months, use killed virus at 6 months and 10 months modified live. C. Leptospirosis 5 way vaccine D. Blackleg Booster E. Pasteurella (Optional) 3. Mature cows and bulls Spring A. IBR, BVR, BRSV, PI3 B. Lepospirosis C. Vibriosis 4. Mature Cows and Bulls Fall A. IBR, BVD, BRSV, PI3 B. Leptospirsis VACCINATION PROGRAM MARKET LAMBS 1. Overeating and Tetanus Lambs need two vaccination treatments. If you do know if the lamb was treated, give a first round and three weeks later give the second round. 2. Fungus If you have a problem with lamb fungus, it is recommended to spray barn with Clorox of a 10-20% solution. The barn/stall must be empty for this procedure. You cannot have lambs in barn/stall for 2-3 days after treatment. If a lamb has fungus, spray with topical solution. There are several on the market. The topical solution helps stop growth of the fungus. VACCINATION PROGRAM GOATS 1. Overeating and Tetanus Goats needs two vaccination treatments. If you do know if the lamb was treated, give a first round and three weeks later give the second round. 2. Fungus If you have a problem with lamb fungus, it is recommended to spray barn with Clorox of a 10-20% solution. The barn/stall must be empty for this procedure. You cannot have lambs in barn/stall for 2-3 days after treatment. If a lamb has fungus, spray with topical solution. There are several on the market. The topical solution helps stop growth of the fungus. 3. Foot rot Is a disease caused by bacteria which live in the foot. The goat will become lame due to foot rot. Keep goat feet trimmed and bedding dry to prevent. VACCINATION PROGRAM SWINE 1. In recent years, some show pig producers have either reduced or, in some cases, even eliminated vaccination programs. Lack of proper vaccinations will lead to an increase in inefficiency and disease. Baby show pigs go through many stresses, which can drastically affect immunity negatively and are continuously exposed to disease causing foreign bodies.
5 2. As exhibitor/parent, it becomes your responsibility to vaccinate. It is much better to address potential problems and not spending more money to treat illness. An illness may last days to weeks and all the while feed efficiency is reduced. 3. I am not recommending a certain company or brand. They are many excellent quality products on the market. You will need to use your best judgment to select the product that works optimal for your operation. As with all medications, whether it is dewormers, feed additives, vaccines or antibiotics, please observe withdrawal times. You can have an excellent vaccination and parasite control program, but your show animal can still get ill. You should be prepared with a plan of action for treatment if your show animals do become sick. It is critical that sick animals be treated as soon as possible after diagnosis of the disease. Remember, you should consult a local veterinarian for assistance with the health of your show animals. GOOD LUCK TO ALL EXHIBITORS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SHOW SEASON!!
