Creating Show catalogues
When making a show catalogue, here are some tips to remember:
Here are some example catalogues, to help you get started:
- Use your club logo - This is the 4-H Saskatchewan logo with your club name above. You can create this at https://4-h-canada.ca/brand-app
- Have your 4-H members write a short bio, where they talk about 4-H and their project animal
- Include details about each project animal. This should include breed, date of borth, weight, etc.
- Include contact information for the club, in case a buyer wants to purchase an animal
- Make sure to showcase the project animal and 4-H member in a positive light
- Talk to your regional 4-H specialist for help. They have examples of show catalogues and can advise you. You can also send the catalogue to them to help you with proofing!
- If you would like to market your animals in a Facebook Group, contact your specialist for advice

Learn to Judge
Many livestock clubs, districts or regions organize judging clinics throughout the year, where members learn how to judge a class of animals or items, as well as how to present their choices. Additionally, many agricultural societies and exhibition associations offer livestock judging competitions to members.
Your Regional 4-H Specialist can present a 'Learn to Judge' workshop for your club, or your club members can attend Judging workshops. Many of the Regional 4-H Judging Competitions have a judging clinic or workshop for younger members or beginners to judging.

Regional Judging Competition - May 29
Regional 4-H Judging will be held virtually this year, and in the form of one great big virtual judging competition.
All six qualifying regional committees (Whitewood, Weyburn, Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Lloydminster & Swift Current) will be assisting 4-H Saskatchewan in the planning process for this one-of-a-kind event, held at the end of May.
4-H members will register under one of the six regional judging competition locations, and will be scored against other members in the same age category who are also registered in that regional location.
At the end of the competition, the top eight eligible competitors will form a team for their location, and will advance to Provincial 4-H Judging, held in the summer of 2021. Qualifying winners at Provincials will advance to Canadian National 4-H & Youth Judging at Agribition 2021.
