Transcription:

Oklahoma Dexter Cattle Association Youth Heifer Program The purpose of this program is to aid youth in getting started in the Dexter Cattle business, by awarding heifer calves to program participants on the basis of merit, future goals and the ability to care for the animal. Any Oklahoma youth, ages 9-15 as of January 1 st of the current year, who is a 4-H or FFA member may apply. Previous winners of the ODCA youth heifer chain are ineligible. All applications will be reviewed by an independent selection committee. Each program participant will own their heifer jointly with the ODCA until completion of the program, at which time the participant will receive full ownership of the heifer and her offspring. Each program participant will be responsible for raising the calf, arranging for her to be bred (AI or naturally) with help from their ODCA mentor, and provide an annual report about their heifer at the fall ODCA meeting in October for two years. Return completed form to: Rick Harvey ODCA Youth Heifer Program 9171 N 68 th Ave Sperry Oklahoma 74073 Rickjharvey73@yahoo.com Criteria: Open to any youth, ages 8 15 as of January 1 st, who reside in the state of Oklahoma. Youth must be enrolled in 4-H or FFA and stay enrolled in 4-H/FFA while participating in the project. Heifers must reside in Oklahoma until completion of project. General Requirements: Showing of Animal: All expenses for nutrition and health of the heifer will be paid for by the participant. Should follow all vaccination/de-worming guidelines provided by the Oklahoma Dexter Cattle Association (ODCA). Liability insurance for the heifer must be covered under the participant or participant s family insurance policy.

Page 2 Breeding of Heifer: Heifer Offspring: Participants in the program are required to show their heifer 4 times a year. The youth will show the heifer at two local/county shows, the OYE and the Tulsa Open Dexter Show or at the ADCA AGM. Participants are encouraged to show heifer at additional shows. ODCA will pay the entry fee for the ADCA AGM youth show (open show may be entered, but will not be paid for by ODCA) and/or any ODCA sponsored show for the first two years of the project. Transportation and any other expensed associated with these shows will be at the participant s expense. Participants may keep any prize monies that they receive from showing. All heifers in the program must be bred to a ADCA registered, genotyped Dexter bull. All efforts will be made to secure donated bull services, but if none are available, participants will pay all breeding expenses. All heifers should calf no sooner than two years of age. After two artificial insemination attempts and two natural service attempts, or four natural service attempts, if the heifer is still unbred, the heifer will be considered a non-breeder. The participant s offspring obligation will be waved, but all other obligations will continue to complete the project. The first offspring from the heifer will be given back to the ODCA when weaned at 6 months old. If this offspring is a heifer, it will be passed on to another participant. If this offspring is a bull, it will be sold, with the proceeds going to the ODCA to be used for the purchase of another project heifer. Offspring feed and vet care will be paid by participant until the time of the transfer to the ODCA. Offspring will at the least, be halter broken before it is given to the ODCA. Offspring may be shown by participant up until time of transfer to ODCA. Entry fees will be paid by participant, but participant may keep any prize monies they receive from showing. Completion of Project: Project will be completed when the participant has owned the heifer for a period of three years and transferred an offspring to the ODCA. After completion of the project, the project heifer and any subsequent offspring become the property of the participating youth.

Page 3 Termination of Project: Participants will be responsible for the cost of replacing the animal if death is caused by neglect or if animal is not properly confined, at a cost of no less than $1000. The ODCA guarantees the heifer through 12 months after delivery. If a heifer dies of natural causes and not due to any negligence of the participant in the first 12 months of ownership, the committee will replace with a heifer as soon as another animal becomes available. If the committee reclaims a heifer because a participant does not fulfill the guidelines of the program, or if the participant is no longer able to care for, keep, or wants to continue participation in the program, the heifer/cow will be returned to the project. Participants will not be reimbursed for any incurred expenses. ODCA Youth Heifer Chain Application Only complete and signed applications will be accepted for review. Youth, parent and 4-H/FFA leader or ODCA mentor must sign applications. The independent evaluation committee will review all completed applications.
