Health Standards for 4-H Shows
July 2011
It is with great pleasure that the OABP announces
that we now have available
an
excellent
PowerPoint presentation
(see links below)
outlining the “Health Standards for 4-H Shows”.
It is
consistent with the OABP articles on this topic in
the June 2011 OABP Newsletter, on the
OABP website, and in
the April-May issues of Ontario Dairy Farmer and
Ontario Beef Farmer.
The presentation was prepared by Kristin Ferguson,
Dr. Ann Godkin’s OMAFRA summer student.
This presentation is intended to serve several
purposes: to familiarize bovine veterinarians
with the
health standards developed in consultation with
4-H Ontario and OMAFRA; and, to be used in
presentations by bovine veterinarians or 4-H
Ontario personnel to 4-H Calf Clubs or Cattle Show
Committees to educate the cattle exhibitors on
these standards.
We encourage all bovine veterinarians to contact
local 4-H Calf Clubs for an invitation to discuss
the issue of show cattle health standards. The
ultimate goal is to standardize health
standards
and to have them enforced consistently
for all cattle shows across
Ontario. We (the OABP)
would appreciate your participation and
cooperation in this endeavour.
