Beef Weigh-in

Sunday, December 9th @ Noon to 4 PM

Fairgrounds (Afton)

All potential market beef need to be

weighed in. Up to 10 market beef can be

weighed in per youth

Record books are essentially a “yearbook” created

every year by 4-H members to keep track of their

4-H careers through pictures, records, newspaper

clippings, awards, etc. While there are some forms

necessary to create a complete record book, the

majority of the record book is up to you and how

creative or in depth you want to get in sharing

your 4-H experiences.

Here is the link to the record book forms for

anyone to get started on their record books:

https://www.extension.iastate.edu/

union/4h#Record%20Keeping

Record books are due to the extension office by

November 1st. Record books will be judged and

awards given at our annual 4-H awards ceremony.

Record Books due Nov. 1st

We now have a collection box at the Union County Extension
