16.1.3
- Animals and animal subject matter can contribute to Clover Kids objectives. However, for safety, liability, and competitive reasons often associated with livestock shows, some restrictions are necessary to maintain Clover Kids program objectives. https://4h.unl.edu/policy-handbook/section-16
- Children eight and under often lack the mental and physical skills for controlling and understanding the strength of large animals (Livestock Conservation Institute, 1994).
- Young children may lack the strength, balance, and attention span to adequately manage large animals (American Medical Equestrian Association, 1993).
- Because of these reasons, Clover Kids programs involving live animals must adhere to the following:
- Exhibition only includes enrolled 4-H Clover kid members, 4-H does not sponsor or support peewee events or exhibition. Peewee referring to non 4-H age youth.
- Exhibition includes discussions with youth based on their knowledge of the care and raising of the animal.
- Exhibitors show in a non-competitive setting for participation only.
- Age, size, and temperament of animal projects must be appropriate for the4-H member's age and size.
- Horse projects and/or horseless projects are not allowed or an option for Clover kids. They are not allowed to handle, ride, or participate in or at 4-H events.
- Calves or other animals weighing more than 350 pounds at the time of the show are not allowed or appropriate for this age group.
- Animals that are appropriate for this age group include bucket calf, sheep, swine, goat, dog, poultry, rabbit, cat, and companion animals.
- There will be one adult/teen volunteer present for every Clover Kid member that is handling or exhibiting animals. This applies to all animal projects.
- Exhibitors in this age group are not allowed to participate with their animal in a livestock sale or sale or premium auction.
- Animal Identification: If animal is not already identified through another 4-H member Animal Affidavit, Clover Kid must turn in affidavit for their animal by June 15th.
