  1. 4-H Volunteer Liability Issues

    Apr. 08, 2015

    The insurance that OSU provides for all of its volunteers (you are automatically included upon completing the application process) is secondary personal liability only.  This means that your own liability insurance (renter’s or homeowner’s) must be exhausted before this insurance goes into effect.  This insurance is not automobile liability and will not cover those types of additional auto liability.

    Apr. 08, 2015

    The Poultry and Rabbit Committee highly recommend the tattooing of all breeding and pet rabbit projects (market rabbits will be tattooed when checked in at the fair!).

  5. 2015 Poultry Resource Handbook Not Available

    Apr. 08, 2015

    The new Poultry Handbook that was advertised to accompany the new Poultry Record book will not be completed until Fall 2015. The author had some health issue and could not complete the book for publication. This has now created a void in educational materials for the Poultry projects. To help this we have scanned and have available on our website the old books. These old books are to be utilized only for reference. The old books will not be accepted at skillathon, every 4-H member exhibiting poultry must purchase a new book to keep records.
