We are pleased to have AgCarolina Farm Credit and AgSouth Farm Credit continue as our cosponsors. We appreciate their continued support of this program and our 4-Hers.
This year, the N.C. Cooperative Extension-sanctioned shows are taking place in the following counties (showman participation is open to all counties): Anson/Stanly, Cabarrus, Chatham, Cumberland, Lee, Moore/Montgomery, Randolph, Richmond, Robeson, and Union.
Participation is open to any active 4-H'er in the state. You may post pictures and get updates from the 4-H Farm Credit Showmanship Circuit Facebook page.
Again this year, families will need to register for the Circuit and, in that registration process, indicate which shows they intend to attend, but you will not list specific animals at this time. You will then need to refer to each of your chosen counties’ rules and register for their shows separately by their deadlines (typically 14 days before their show date). Circuit registration will open on July 9 at 5:00 p.m. online. Please register on Eventbrite for the Circuit by July 22 at 5:00 PM. This deadline is absolute, and we cannot accept your registration once the website shuts down. It is $25 per showman per species.
Please read each county’s rules very carefully. If you do not want to join the Circuit but would like to show in individual county shows, there will be a separate registration sheet/process for that county. Please visit the link to those counties in which you wish to participate.
