Animal ID Directions
In order to declare project animals in 4-H, market and non-market animals must be identified and uploaded to 4-HOnline.

If the animal is not housed on their property, members will need to fill out Animal Care and Housing form and submit it to the extension office by June 1 (or upload the form into their Animal IDs).
