Important Notice to members & leaders

Phone, email or address changes

We are making numerous changes in the UWEX Office with our new 4-H Plus Software.
It is very important that you let us know if you have any changes in your phone, email
and/or home addresses.

Many of you have requested email notification of the posting of the Cloverpatch at our
website. Last month we received many of the emails back as undeliverable. Please help us
out and send us the current email address to update your file. Please send that informa-
tion to carolj@co.rock.wi.us so we can continue our efforts to “Go Green.”

Thanks for your help!

Attention Livestock Project Members
(Beef, sheep, swine, goats)
COOL for Youth Exhibitors
The final rule of Country of Origin Labeling
(COOL) came out on January, 2009 and took
effect March, 2009. This USDA rule provides
consumers the knowledge and information of
where their food originated. There has been
much discussion on this topic since the 2002
farm bill, and it is now in effect. This rule af-
fects beef, lamb pork, and goats as well as
other commodities like fish, nuts and ginseng.
How does this rule affect youth exhibitors?
COOL does not directly regulate livestock pro-
ducers, however producers have first-hand
knowledge concerning the origin of their ani-
mals. Therefore, youth who purchase and or
raise their animals need to know the origin of
their animals, especially if sold to large-scale
processors (Tyson, etc.), buying stations
(Equity, etc.) or to local meat processors who
sell to major retailers. Youth exhibitors may
not know the final destination of their project
at the time it is sold, therefore, all exhibitors
should obtain documentation of where their
animal came from (ex. bill of sale with name
address and phone number of the seller) to be
passed to the buyer of their project animal.
Retain this information for your own records.
