This year the LSU AgCenter will again us the online system for all shows and exhibitors. This means that we will have to work together to navigate these changes. The best way for you to reach me with questions and/or troubleshooting through this process is through our livestock remind group. Enclosed are instructions on how to join.
We will again use the fair entry livestock show program moving forward. Fair Entry is compatible with 4-H Online and works in unison to make gathering information easier for exhibitors and staff. Even though separate entities both Fair Entry and 4HOnline will work together to accomplish our livestock show needs. 4-HOnline facilitates enrollment and gathering of animal information; animal information MUST be entered into the 4HOnline system by exhibitors before or on the possession date or validation date for each animal. When show entry time comes around (likely November/December for most) Fair Entry will facilitate the exhibitor’s entry into shows using the exhibitor’s animals’ information previously entered into 4-H Online.
Your first step is to enter your animal's information using the 4HOnline program. Exhibitors can go to their profile in 4HOnline to enter their animal information by logging into 4HOnline just as they did when enrolling. This process was designed to be user-friendly and uses drop-down boxes for the most part.
All animals (breeding and market) must be entered in 4HOnline by the possession /validation deadline for that species. Animals requiring validations will only be approved after agents have received the validation envelope, card, and payment for the respective animal.
4HOnline is not a tailor-made program and as such certain form fields had to be adapted. There are descriptions specifying what is needed in each field, but sometimes these descriptions are in smaller print and may not always be easily read. The list of these changes are as follows:
All animals can be validated by the exhibitor or parent on their own premise. The responsibility of tagging and collecting DNA hair samples will be that of the exhibitor and/or parent. Exhibitors should request a validation kit from the extension office. The validation will consist of ear tagging, pulling a hair sample & placing it in the envelope provided. Validation envelopes must be returned to the 4-H Office with the $7 fee by the deadline stated below. Checks can be made out to Acadia 4-H Foundation or paid online at Acadia 4H Foundation website.
Animals validated must be in the exhibitor’s name or family name. Animals tagged for the 2023 LA State Fair may utilize the State Fair tag but must still pull hair to complete the LSU AgCenter State Show validations.
Validation Dates: (Animals must be in continuous possession of exhibitor, tag assigned, and DNA/hair samples must be submitted to parish LSU AgCenter Office by listed deadline) Com.=Commercial
November 6, 2023, by 4:30 P.M.: Com. Does, Market Goats, Com. Lambs, Market Lambs, Com. Heifers and Com. Dairy Heifers
December 4, 2023, by 4:30 P.M.: Market Swine and Com Gilts
Possession Dates: (Animals must be in continuous possession of the exhibitor by this deadline. Registration papers must be submitted within 30 days of the possession deadline.)
November 6, 2023: Beef, Sheep, Goat, Dairy Breeding, and Exhibition Poultry.
November 13, 2023: Miniature Cattle
December 4, 2023: Swine Breeding
Please order validation packets from Kaylyn LeBlanc by calling the Parish AgCenter office and return them directly to her with the $7 payment.
Animals participating in both the State Fair of Louisiana and the Spring LSU AgCenter shows must be validated twice (once for each show).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the 4-H office at 337-788-8821.
Sincerely,
Megan Sarver
County Extension Agent

From Dwayne Nunez:
Major changes coming at the LSU AgCenter for 4-H and FFA youth that will
exhibit Livestock and Horses at our 2023 District and State
Livestock/Poultry/Rabbit/Horse Shows. We are moving to an online entry process
and plan to implement this system for our 2023 LSU AgCenter State Shows. This
process will include validation and/or possession online documentation. It will
also include the ability to enter and pay all fees online at the state level.
We will continue to use our current validation method of requiring a DNA/Hair
sample on all market and commercial animals. These samples will continue to be
submitted to your parish LSU AgCenter Office by each specie/animal deadline. In
addition to this process after the NEW system is activated exhibitors will go
online to document their validation as well as possession of registered
breeding animals on or before possession dates. The new system allows for
Registration papers to be uploaded when animals are documented on or before the
possession deadline for each specie.
We have completed our first round of training with District and State Livestock
and Horse Show staff. Staff members are learning the new process. As they learn
the process they identify potential problems/issues associated in order to
correct them prior to activation. We will be working with Parish agents and FFA
advisors statewide over the next couple of months to familiarize them with the
new system. Once parish agents/FFA advisors receive this information it will be
passed on to exhibitors using the traditional method on the parish/chapter
level. Information to exhibitors should be expected in September/ October. This
new system will be activated during that period which will be after steer
validations are due to parish offices on August 15th. Therefore for this year
ONLY, we have steer exhibitors enter their steer validation information into
the system when the system is activated; all other animal entries (Breeding,
Market, and Commercial) will be required to document animals in the system at
their listed validation/possession deadline date. Instruction will be provided
to all exhibitors and families on the new system and will include written
material and video tutorials to assist with navigating the new process.
I am looking forward to the new system as I believe it will; make the validation/possession/entry process easier on exhibitor families, it will allow direct communication with families/exhibitors during the process, and the system will provide options to pay for validations and entries at the state level using an online payment system. We do understand that as much as we prepare for the transition/implementation there will be issues that arise that we will have to work through. Our LSU AgCenter show staffs are fully committed to doing that. I am looking forward to you all being introduced to the NEW system and the improvements it will provide as we learn the many features it offers our program at all levels.
Kits will consist of a tag and validation envelope. The 2022-23 validation fee is $7 per validation. This fee must be paid when exhibitors submit their validations to parish offices. All checks submitted to the Acadia Parish 4-H Office should be made out to the “Acadia 4-H Foundation” with livestock validation and exhibitor name in the memo. or paid through the online system (https://acadia-4-h-foundation.square.site/). Ag Teachers should request validation kits from Acadia parish LSU AgCenter office by the date specified below.
Steers: August 12, 2022
Beef & Dairy Commercial Heifers, Market lambs & Commercial Ewes, Market Goats & Commercial Does: November 4, 2022
Market & Commercial Hogs: December 1, 2022
Must be validated by the exhibitor and submitted to Parish LSU AgCenter Office by 4:30 pm on the dates above.
1. Animals must be in continuous possession of exhibitor from time of validation until the LSU AgCenter State Livestock Show. See rules in the 2022-23 LSU AgCenter State Livestock Show catalog or consult the livestock show manager for specific possession rules.
2. Exhibitors should request validation kits from agents and ag teachers as per parish guidelines. Each parish LSU AgCenter 4-H office will supply validation kits to exhibitors upon request.
3. Validation will consist of ear tagging animal and pulling a hair sample; hair sample should be placed in a properly identified validation envelope for each animal validated. Validation envelope must be returned to local LSU AgCenter office with validation fee by specified deadline.The responsibility of tagging animals and collecting DNA/hair samples will be that of the exhibitor and/or parent. Agents/Ag Teachers MAY be present and can assist.
4. Animals previously tagged for the 2021 Louisiana State Fair may utilize the State Fair TAG to complete LSU AgCenter State Show validations. All animals must be tagged with either an LSU Tag or State Fair tag to be validated. (New hair samples must be submitted to LSU AgCenter for all animals previously validated for the State Fair)
5. Animals must be validated in either the exhibitors name or in family name (Family consist of parents, legal guardians, brothers, and sisters.). When official entry forms are turned in at the parish level animals validated in family name must be entered in the name of the exhibitor that will show the animal at the District and State Livestock Shows.
District and/or State Show manager must be notified within seven days after the validation deadline to be considered for a validation hardship. After contacting District and/or State Show Manager hardship forms must be immediately filed with supporting material and stating hardship. These hardships will be evaluated on a case by case basis by parish agent, district show manager, and state show manager. Only cases where it is determined to have been unavoidable will the exhibitor be allowed to validate. This decision will be final and not subject to appeal.

During the regular state legislative session of 2019, a bill was passed to expand the definition of a commercial farmer to include certain student farmers who meet specific requirements in relation to sales and tax exemptions. Through the Act of 199 individuals under the age of 23 and meeting the defined criteria of a “student farmer” can now be sales tax exempt when purchasing:
This a great opportunity for our 4-H/FFA members who are raising and/or showing livestock and agriculture products to be able to save on some expenses. Form 1098- Student Farmer Certification is the form that the youth will need to complete and have signed by the 4-H or ANR Agent certifying that the youth is a member of the parish 4-H program.
The objective of the youth livestock/horse program is to develop responsibility, dedication, decision-making, leadership, trustworthiness, sportsmanship and citizenship through the possession and personal care of a live animal project. The youth (4-H or FFA member) will have many educational opportunities and activities to learn about animal agriculture and develop life skills. We are striving for maximum contact with the animal and participation in educational activities.
The ability of the youth to provide personal care for the animal is a major goal in livestock and horse projects. The guiding concern in granting permission for hardship requests should be the education and development of the youth. Concern for ensuring that the animal is shown has minimal importance in granting hardships.
A.Animal should be housed within a reasonable distance to allow youth to interact with the animal project on a positive basis.
B.Youth (4-H or FFA member) should do the majority of work and care for the animal project.
C.All housing requests must be made prior to possession date.
1.Residential restrictions will be considered.
2.Opportunities for housing will be considered.
D.Animals housed across the parish line must be recommended by both Agents and/or FFA Advisors.
A.Injured animals must be checked and verified by the 4-H Agent and/or FFA Advisor or veterinarian.
B.The replacement animals should be of comparable quality. Replacement of animals will be considered only to those exhibitors with one animal project per species.
C.Replacement animals must be obtained by the following dates:
1.January 3 - Market Hogs; Breeding Swine
2.December 15 - Beef Breeding; Market Lambs; Breeding Sheep; Market Goats; Breeding Goats; Dairy
3.November 1 - Market Steers
4.June 1 - Horses
Exhibitors must show their own animals. Exceptions will be made only in the following cases and with the proper approval. In all cases, when the exhibitor can not show his/her own animal, the exhibitor must have a bona fide 4-H or FFA member to show in his/her place. If the animal qualifies for the championship classes and the exhibitor is unable to show the animal, the same individual exhibiting in class must show the animal in the championship class.
1. Exceptions at the District Show:
a.Exhibitors animals will be allowed to qualify only for the State Show (not eligible for champion at District Show - Ribbon Group Only) if the exhibitor is not present due to school conflicts (i.e. academic, athletic and other school related activities).
b.Exhibitors animals will be allowed to show in class and in the championship drive only if the exhibitor can not show due to illness, physical handicap, personal injury or death in the family. In the case of illness, physical handicap, personal injury or death in the family, the exhibitor, or representative shall make the request to the Agent/FFA Advisor and District Livestock Show Manager. The District Livestock Show Manager has the authority to approve or disapprove last minute requests.
c.To obtain an exception for school conflicts and physical handicap, the exhibitor must file a Livestock Project Possession/Hardship Form and have the proper approval prior to the District Show.
2.Exceptions at the State Show:
a.Exhibitors animals will be allowed to show in class and in the championship drive only if the exhibitor can not show due to illness, physical handicap, personal injury or death in the family. The State Livestock Show Manager and/or Show Superintendents shall approve or disapprove these requests.
b.Academic conflicts (School Test, Academic Contest, ACT, etc.) will be considered for the State Show.
c.To obtain an exception for school conflicts and physical handicap, the exhibitor must file a Livestock Project Possession/Hardship Form and have the proper approval prior to the District Show.
Youth and/or parent must fill out hardship form and include all pertinent information. The form must be signed by the youth, parent and/or guardian, Agent/FFA Advisor, Parish Chair/School Principal, and approved by the District Show Manager/State Livestock Show Leader. Hardships requiring Management Council approval should be routed through the State Livestock Show manager.
District Livestock Show Manager / State Livestock Show Leader shall have the responsibility and authority to approve are deny hardship request.
Hardships falling outside the hardship guidelines may be recommended by the District Livestock Show Manager / State Livestock Show Leader to the Management Council for consideration.
The Management Council shall have the final authority on all hardships; they will also have authority to approve or deny request that are not defined in the guidelines.
I am excited to announce an update to the Livestock Ethics requirement for all exhibitors at LSU AgCenter livestock shows. The Youth for the Quality Care of Animals program is an annual, web-based training required for all livestock exhibitors at LSU AgCenter livestock shows. There is a $12 annual charge for each exhibitor. The certification number, found on each exhibitor’s certificate which can be downloaded upon completion, will be a required field in Fair Entry and cross checked with reports from YQCA. The course can be found at www.yqcaprogram.org
YQCA How to for Parents and Exhibitors
FAQ’s:
How often does an exhibitor have to complete a course?
Since the curriculum is different each year, each exhibitor has to complete their appropriate age course annually.
Is the program specie specific?
No, the program is not specie specific. General knowledge that covers all species is included in each annual course.
How will agents know if their students have completed their course?
I will periodically receive a list from YQCA in order to cross check with Fair Entry. Upon request, I can share your most updated parish list of completions.
What will the exhibitors be learning each year in their web-based course?
I have attached a Curriculum Map for your reference.
Is the course smart phone compatible?
Yes, the course is easily accessible on a smart phone. Upon completion of the course on a smart phone, each participant will have the option to save the downloaded PDF to their photo, files, or other applications on their phone.
Approximately how long will it take the exhibitor to complete?
Ideally, each course is designed to be completed within one hour. Exhibitors can login and out as needed to complete the course in multiple settings.
Why is there an annual $12 fee for the web-based program?
The fee structure was established by the YQCA Board of Directors with the goal of covering the cost of the program as a not-for-profit establishment. $0.36 = credit card fees (typically); $5.00 = technical/user support, email and phone support, based in U.S.; $5.00 = online system hosting, maintenance, ongoing development, security and privacy assurance; $1.64 = stays with YQCA to invest in ongoing curriculum development and revision, program management, and promotion
