Utah Junior Livestock Association Entry Form pdf format It's that time of year again! If you need a state livestock show tag, please contact the 4-H Livestock Coordinator, Marie Reese. Tags cost $2.00 each. Some tags are still on back order, but contact Marie before deadlines. Tagging information for state shows is listed below.
All junior livestock shows supported by the Utah State Junior Livestock Association require that animal projects be tagged with a permanent, tamper-proof tag. The association has uniform tags to be used throughout the state. These tags identify specific animal projects, help track ownership, and are required to participate in any state show. FFA advisors, 4-H agents or tagging committees ensure animals are tagged and exhibitors are verified and in good standing.
All exhibitors must be verified as Utah 4-H or FFA members in good standing to compete. Tag + Verification = Eligibility
Animals must be tagged 100 days before the weigh-in of a show for beef (steers and market heifers), and 60 days for sheep, goats, and hogs

The portfolio style has recently changed to a cover letter and resume. The link below contains full details.
A portfolio is an organized collection of a person's progress, achievements, contributions, and efforts that demonstrate accomplishments, size and growth over time. 4-H Portfolios contain important records that can be utilized in applying for scholarships and future employment. Portfolios set the stage for organization, record keeping and leadership.
Portfolio forms, judging rubrics, training videos and additional information can be found on the state website's portfolio page.
