basis so it is important that we receive your registration on time. Registration fees will be paid for by the Ottawa

County 4-H Committee.

Seniors in high school are busy looking ahead and making plans for their future. If college is something that is in the plans of

these seniors, we have something that will help them.

The following scholarships are available to 4-H members in our county:

• 4-H Advisory Committee sponsors two $500 scholarships

school to complete them. Please be aware of the criteria and the deadline for applications is March 1! If you have any questions,

let us know. Good luck!

Buckeye Leadership Workshop is a learning, sharing “workshop” intended as a balanced program of social,

physical, mental & spiritual activities. We believe that Buckeye Leadership Workshop provides a powerful

learning environment in which anyone who works with people, professionally or informally, can develop

programming for youth or adults. The workshop also benefits those who simply enjoy associating with great

people, experiencing new ideas, and learning new skills. Experiential learning through recreation is truly the

intent and methodology of Buckeye Leadership Workshop.

This year the BLW is a 5-day seminar that will be held March 29 – April 2 in Ashley, Ohio. The cost is $350

(with the 4-H Advisory Committee paying 2/3’s to first time attendees) if paid on or before February 28th or $375

after February 28th. 4-H members who are 15 years old (or a freshman in high school) or older (including

adults!) are encouraged to attend. Full-time participation from Wednesday evening until Sunday at 4:00 p.m. is

required. Call the office for more information or visit: www.buckeyeleadership.org

OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) for

4-H Youth Livestock Producers & Families

What is a VFD?

A VFD is a written (nonverbal) statement issued by a

licensed veterinarian that authorizes the use of an

approved VFD drug or combination VFD drug in or on

an animal feed. This written statement authorizes the

client (owner of the animal) to obtain and use animal

feed bearing or containing a VFD drug or combination

VFD drug to treat the client’s animals only in

accordance with the conditions for use approved by the

FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

(1) The client (youth producer) must establish a

veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) to

be able to get a VFD. This is true whether the 4-H

member has one food-producing animal or several.

When must the VFD be implemented?

January 1, 2017. Starting January 1, 2017, you can no

longer stop by a feed store and buy a bag of medicated

feed containing certain types of antibiotics that were

previously classified as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs.

As of January 1, 2017, the FDA requires that clients

have a VFD to be able to purchase animal feeds

containing these antibiotics.

What species of animals require a VFD?

Cattle, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, honey bees & fish,

as well as other food-producing species, even if they

are not intended for food production. For example,

backyard chickens kept as pets still require a VFD for

certain antibiotics to be legally added to their feed, and

a prescription for certain antibiotics to be added to

water.

For additional information on the Veterinary Feed

Directive (VFD), please visit the Ottawa County OSU

Extension website at ottawa.osu.edu.

Ohio 4-H International Program

Celebrating 67 Years! Open Your World! Ohio 4-H International Exchange Programs are among the largest and most

successful in the country. Ohio families host visitors from around the world. Host families are

not required to be current 4-H members ~ in fact, they automatically become members by

participating! Join us this year!

2017 Host Family Opportunities Don’t have the time and money to travel? Enjoy the exposure to different cultures which

traveling brings? Looking for a low-cost project or experience in which the whole family can

participate and grow together? The Ohio 4-H International Program allows families to gain the

benefits of international travel right here at home, as they welcome a new son, daughter,

brother, or sister from another country into their homes. Host families come in many shapes and

sizes and are responsible for lodging, meals, and family activities. Exchangees bring personal

spending money, as well as medical/accident insurance. Host families are asked to “live” their

everyday life,” and to simply treat their visitor as a member of the family, with the same

responsibilities and privileges as other members.

Notes: Families hosting a youth must have their own child of the same gender and approximate age.

Families should not have any native speakers of the language of their visitor, and can only host

one visitor at a time.

Deadline: As soon as possible, by 2/28 for 1st choice placement. Applications accepted until all

youth are placed (usually March for females & April for males). However, please inquire

whenever you learn about our program.

2017 exchange visitors to Ohio will include:

Japanese Labo Youth for 1 month

July 23-August 17

(Ages 12-15)

Japanese Labo Adult for 2-4 Weeks

July 23-August 5 or August 5-17 or Both

(Ages 19-55)

Costa Rican 4-S Youth for 1 month

June 27-July 24

(Ages 14-18)

Norway 4-H Youth for 1 month

June 27-July 24

If you are interested in becoming a host family, please contact Mary Lynn Thalheimer, Ohio 4-H

International Program Director at (614) 247-8162 or visit www.ohio4h.org/youth/international.
