County Extension Agents should support 4-H youth exhibiting livestock at major shows by attending shows when possible, assisting with logistics like reservations and transportation, and helping youth with tasks at the show like fitting animals, check-in, and grooming. Agents should communicate important show information to families in advance and be available to assist youth at the show, while recognizing budget constraints may limit an agent's attendance at all shows. Volunteers are also crucial for providing support to youth exhibitors at shows.
