4-H Youth Special Livestock Awards

Archie McDonald Memorial Award

The Archie McDonald Memorial Award is given to a member who displays sportsmanship in his or her conduct during the 4-H year.  Livestock Superintendents decide what member best fits this description and reports the selection to the Extension Staff by the end of the fair or the following week of fair.

Herdsmanship Award

Each year a Herdsmanship award is given to a member in each area of animal species exhibited in the fair.  The purpose of the contest is to promote husbandry of animals by displaying better care of livestock, their pens, and the equipment to keep animals fed, clean and attractive.  A well kept livestock area makes a better fair exhibit, promotes safety to livestock, members and the general public.  The humane care of animals is an attitude of a good herdsman.  A good herdsman is always promoting their industry by answering and talking to the general public about projects. 

Judging is done on a daily basis and is based on the following:

  1. Neatness of stalls, pens and alleys in barns as well as storage areas for equipment and feed.  Stall cards and/or posters completed, displayed and easy to read identifying member, club, project, and any other educational information.  *40 points possible
  2.  Feeding, caring for, and grooming of animals (to be done by 4-H member only). *40 points possible
  3. A good attitude and sportsmanship being displayed by being polite, courteous, cooperative, helpful, and encouraging fellow members, leaders, adults and the general public.  Neat, clean and appropriate dress.            *20 points possible

Each section is scored with a total possible score of 100 points.  A member must have at least 75 points to be eligible for this award.
