MINNESOTA 4-H UNIQUE GIVENS State Fair 6,500 4-Hers participate at the State Fair, most with overnight lodging and meals. 2,500 4-Hers participate with Livestock Exhibits. All State Fair 4-H participants “win” a trip with their project. This is done through a State Fair line-up selection process done at the completion of project judging at County Fair. 4-Hers are allowed to bring only 1 animal and 1 General Project to the State Fair. 4-Hers must have completed the 6 th grade to compete at the State Fair.
5
MINNESOTA 4-H UNIQUE GIVENS State Fair – AnSci Projects All State Fair Livestock participants participate in an interview process to gauge knowledge and growth. The top 20% receive polo shirts and the top 2% receive director’s chairs. All State Fair Livestock participants must be certified in MN 4-H Livestock Quality Assurance and Ethics. Minnesota 4-H offers lease opportunities for most species in the breeding classes. County species delegations participate in a 3-4 hour intensive consumer awareness program designed to educate fairgoers on any aspect of the respective species.
6
MINNESOTA 4-H UNIQUE GIVENS Auction 4-H Auctions are held in 86% of all counties. Over $1.3M generated annually at MN 4-H auctions. Average auction – over $19,000; some grossing over $70,000. Auctions must begin with a 4-Her delivered statement indicating participation in the auction is a “privilege – not a right.” All auctions are premium only – no animals are sold. Only purple, blue and red ribbon winners are allowed. No Cloverbuds. A minimum of 20% of each auction dollar must go to the 4-H program.

DAIRY SHOWCASE How it was born… Three years of research: tracking scholarship vs. competition in livestock. Increasing inquiries from Dairy leadership in terms of Auction participation. A series of meetings with the Auction Committee to consider inclusion. A strong desire to focus on scholarship above competition.
9
Champion Steer vs. Kern Scholarship Comparison 2010 Champion Steer –Award based solely on State Fair placing –$14,600 – 20% = $11,680 paid to the 4-Her –Total paid immediately – no strings attached – No other 4-H activities or leadership required 2010 Kern Scholarship –Award based on well rounded 4-H career including leadership –$1,500 per year X 4 years = $6,000 maximum –Paid out over 4 years if 4-Her maintains a 3.0 GPA. 4-Her must reapply each year of eligibility
10
AUCTION ISSUES WE WANTED TO AVOID Expectation of exceptional breeding and/or high price paid to be competitive ‘Last minute’ dollar expectation that often comes with participation ‘Strong arming’ potential and current buyers An auctioneer approach vs. opportunity to showcase accomplishments
