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.
