records and are highly encouraged to bring a poster about a specific topic they learned about this year.
 

Record Books
All members must complete a record book for each livestock project. Members may purchase an official Ohio 4-H

http://hardin.osu.edu. Both forms of record books will be acceptable at Hardin County Interview judging. Record
books must be complete to show at the Hardin County Fair.

Livestock grades will be given as pass/fail. Members must receive a passing score to participate in the Hardin
County Jr. Fair.
