Over half of your 4-H career is spent working on projects, and fittingly, over half of your record book is spent commemorating those projects.
Section 1 provides a framework for planning, completing, and analysing each of your 4-H projects.
How? Let's go through it step-by-step.

<div class="panel-body">
When completing a project record for a project carried over from another organization (i.e. a school art project or the Supreme Beef program), the documentation from that organization may fit the criteria for a 4-H project record, and many people choose to submit that documentation as their section 1.
This is acceptable, but the record book committee asks that you respect the judges' time by using the 4-H project record template, and not including extranneous information.

Goals

<p>Goals provide direction for your 4-H project. If you've ever gone to any motivational leadership conference, you've heard about goals far more than you could ever care to, but the facts show the people with goals acomplish more. Great, you say, how do you make goals? I'm glad you asked.</p>
<p>A goal is an objective or thing desired to happen with SMARTY attributes:</p>

Measurable usually involves numbers or binary (true/false) statements.
Notice how this example added a way of measuring (average) and a quantitative target (over 250 points).
That is characteristic of measureable goals.
</p>
<h5>What about <em>To do better than last year?</em></h5>
<p>
Invariably, record books are turned in each year with the goal "to do better than last year."
Sometimes this is measurable, mostly it is not.
It would be far better to identify exactly what you want to improve and find a way to measure that.
If you do resort to this goal, you <b>MUST</b> keep your record book maticulously organised so that the judges can find how you did last year.

Because record books are due annually, the defacto time-limit for all record book goals is the record book due date;
so the time component isn't a deal-breaker.
It really shows initative and professionalism, though, if you set a deadline <em>before</em> record books are due.

<p>How do you write SMARTY goals? Here's a way I like to do it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Get a blank sheet of paper and pencil (<strong>not</strong> your phone)</li>
<li>Write the project name and why you enrolled in that project at the top of the page</li>
<li>Write four or five things you would like to acomplish in that project (not SMARTY yet, if you can't make it that way)</li>
<li>Set aside your page for two months</li>
<li>For each of those things you wanted to do, write a SMARTY version</li>
<li>Add your new goals to your record book</li>
</ol>
<p>I've found that, by writing down the goals early along with the why behind them, I will be more likely to acomplish my goals.
Try it yourself, and I think you will, too.</p>

<a id="projectdescription"></a>
Project Description
</h2>
<blockquote>
If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.
<small>Albert Einstein</small>
</blockquote>
<p>
Use the project description to explain what you did in the past year to someone who doesn't know anything about that subject.
A good project description should read almost like a newspaper brief about your project.
Like a good reporter, include information on the
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Who</strong> (parents, siblings, project leaders)
</li>
<li>
<strong>What</strong> (leathercraft halter, market steer show, cooking recipe)
</li>
<li>
<strong>When</strong> (at fair, at the spring judging contest, at home all year)
</li>
<li>
and
</li>
<li>
<strong>Where</strong> (at Hansen arena, at home, at SAREC)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
of your project.

<div class="panel-body">
For many years, the role of the project description was very ambiguous.
As such, there are very few record books that followed these guidelines, and most of the examples do not.
Please use discernment when viewing the example project descriptions, and remember to use the reporter-like style when completing your record book.
Who knows, then your book might wind up in the next set of examples.

Size &amp; Scope
</h2>
<blockquote>
There's always a four-point-five percent margin of error, plus or minus.
<small>The Accountant in <em>The Accountant</em> (Short film)</small>
</blockquote>
<p>
The label &quot;Size &amp; Scope&quot; has caused confusion for several generations of 4-Hers.
Let's define these words to clear that up.
</p>
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Size</dt>
<dd>is numbers, i.e. the number of hours spent, dollars invested, contest points earned, pounds of feed, etc.</dd>
<dt>Scope</dt>
<dd>indicates the varieties, different types, recipes, plants or animal breeds with which you worked.</dd>
</dl>
<p>
In short, Size &amp; Scope is a <abbr title="A detailed description including numbers of all substances used. Also the name of a class I'm glad I didn't have to take in college.">quantitative analysis</abbr> of everything you used to complete your project.
Good Size &amp; Scope sections vary widely depending on the project, but all of them record the items (physical or intellectual) used in the project, and the time and money spent on the project.
Take a look at the examples for ideas to get you started.

Knowledge &amp; Skills Acquired
</h2>
<blockquote>
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
<small>Proverbs 8:10 KJV</small>
</blockquote>
<p>
Knowledge &amp; Skills Acquired serves two purposes.
First, it allows you to address whether or not you met your goals.
Second, it tells readers what you actually learned this year in your project.
</p>
<p>
To complete Knowledge &amp; Skills, create a heading for each <a href="#goals">goal</a> you wrote.
Write a paragraph (at least three sentences) explaining if you met the goal, how you met the goal (or why you did not meet the goal), and what you learned from the goal.
After each goal is addressed, include paragraphs explaining anything else you learned about your project area.
Remember that your readers might not know anything about your project area, so be sure to explain it in a way that a layperson can understand.

Because record books are due annually, the defacto time-limit for all record book goals is the record book due date;
so the time component isn't a deal-breaker.
It really shows initative and professionalism, though, if you set a deadline <em>before</em> record books are due.</p>

You don't write the "why" in your record book, but if you have a good why, you will write better goals and be more motivated to acomplish those goals.

<p>How do you write SMARTY goals? Here's a way I like to do it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Get a blank sheet of paper and pencil (<strong>not</strong> your phone)</li>
<li>Write the project name and why you enrolled in that project at the top of the page</li>
<li>Write four or five things you would like to acomplish in that project (not SMARTY yet, if you can't make it that way)</li>
<li>Set aside your page for two months</li>
<li>For each of those things you wanted to do, write a SMARTY version</li>
<li>Add your new goals to your record book</li>
</ol>
<p>I've found that, by writing down the goals early along with the why behind them, I will be more likely to acomplish my goals.
Try it yourself, and I think you will, too.</p>
<h2> Project Description </h2>
<blockquote> If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself. <small>Albert Einstein</small> </blockquote>
<p> Use the project description to explain what you did in the past year to someone who doesn't know anything about that subject.
A good project description should read almost like a newspaper brief about your project.
Like a good reporter, include information on the </p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Who</strong> (parents, siblings, project leaders) </li>
<li> <strong>What</strong> (leathercraft halter, market steer show, cooking recipe) </li>
<li> <strong>When</strong> (at fair, at the spring judging contest, at home all year) </li>
<li> and </li>
<li> <strong>Where</strong> (at Hansen arena, at home, at SAREC) </li>
</ul>
<p> of your project. </p>
<div class="panel panel-warning">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit"></span> Note </h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body"> For many years, the role of the project description was very ambiguous.
As such, there are very few record books that followed these guidelines, and most of the examples do not.
Please use discernment when viewing the example project descriptions, and remember to use the reporter-like style when completing your record book.
Who knows, then your book might wind up in the next set of examples. </div>
</div>
<h2> Size &amp; Scope </h2>
<blockquote> There's always a four-point-five percent margin of error, plus or minus. <small>The Accountant in <em>The Accountant</em> (Short film)</small> </blockquote>
<p> The label &quot;Size &amp; Scope&quot; has caused confusion for several generations of 4-Hers.
Let's define these words to clear that up. </p>
<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Size</dt>
<dd>is numbers, i.e. the number of hours spent, dollars invested, contest points earned, pounds of feed, etc.</dd>
<dt>Scope</dt>
<dd>indicates the varieties, different types, recipes, plants or animal breeds with which you worked.</dd>
</dl>
<p> In short, Size &amp; Scope is a <abbr title="A detailed description including numbers of all substances used. Also the name of a class I'm glad I didn't have to take in college.">quantitative analysis</abbr> of everything you used to complete your project.
Good Size &amp; Scope sections vary widely depending on the project, but all of them record the items (physical or intellectual) used in the project, and the time and money spent on the project.
Take a look at the examples for ideas to get you started. </p>
<div class="panel panel-success">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-bullhorn"></span> Tip </h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body"> <strong>Financial Information</strong> and <strong>Market Summary</strong> tables are provided under Size &amp; Scope.
They are not intended to serve as a full Size &amp; Scope, but they may be useful to augment your existing data.
Use them if you think they are appropriate to your project. </div>
</div>
<h2> Knowledge &amp; Skills Acquired </h2>
<blockquote> Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. <small>Proverbs 8:10 KJV</small> </blockquote>
<p> Knowledge &amp; Skills Acquired serves two purposes.
First, it allows you to address whether or not you met your goals.
Second, it tells readers what you actually learned this year in your project. </p>
<p> To complete Knowledge &amp; Skills, create a heading for each <a href="#goals">goal</a> you wrote.
Write a paragraph (at least three sentences) explaining if you met the goal, how you met the goal (or why you did not meet the goal), and what you learned from the goal.
After each goal is addressed, include paragraphs explaining anything else you learned about your project area.
Remember that your readers might not know anything about your project area, so be sure to explain it in a way that a layperson can understand. </p>

<p>Ever since I got my goats I have tested annually for Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL) and Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE). I had been told it was a good idea and saw many herds stating that they were CL and CAE negative. I never asked why it was so important to test for these. Here is why you should.</p>
<h4>Caseous Lymphadenitis commonly called CL</h4>
<p>CL is an untreatable disease that affects the lymphatic system of goats and other mammals.&nbsp; CL is caused by the bacterium <em>Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis,</em> it can show it&rsquo;s self in lumps around the lymph nodes, by the neck, jaw, shoulder, flank, udder, and along the back of the thigh. They can also have internal abscesses on their lungs and livers as well. The bacterium is spread by the puss that comes out of the abscess and also can be spread by the goats coughing and the mucus from them coughing. When the bacterium enters it goes through the goat&rsquo;s blood stream. The bacterium then works on destroying the lymph tissue. It can get into the lymph node and then fill it, not letting the lymph node or nodes work properly. The lymph system is very important to all bodies. The lymphatic system helps fight illnesses and bacteria. So CL compromises the system. When the immune system cannot work properly and therefore your goat can get even sicker an even die. &nbsp;CL can take 2 weeks to many months to be seen.</p>
<p>Even though CL is untreatable, there is a vaccine. However it is not approved for lactating goats.</p>
<p>Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis can infect humans as well. It is only thought to infect humans if they get the pus in their mouth, however this is not known for certain. So, <u>always </u>be careful when dealing with goats that have Caseous Lymphadenitis or the possibility of having it.</p>
<p>Not all abscesses are CL. So do not worry too much if your goat gets a lump however treat it as soon as possible. If you think it might be CL you can take the goat to the vet and have the puss tested to check for CL. Remember the Lymph Node is usually were CL abides and is around the neck, jaw, shoulder, flank, thigh, and udder. Some abscesses such as those on the jaw can be caused by food stuck in their cheek. And other lumps can be caused by other infections or bugs bites or if they are in a pasture with branches they can get a lump from running into a tree to hard. And if your give an injection wrong that can leave a lump too. &nbsp;Whenever working with goats with abscesses it would be a good idea to wear gloves no matter what they have so you do not get sick too or pass on the infection to other animals you may have. </p>
<h4>Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis also called CAE or CAEV</h4>
<p>In 2007 up to 81% of Dairy goats had CAE.<span style="line-height: 200%; font-size: 8pt;">1</span> CAE is a disease that kills white blood cells in your goat, damaging and hurting their immune system. CAE shows itself by swelling around the knees, so knobby looking knees, and sometimes hardness in the udder. Some goats will not show any signs and still have CAE. On some goats if they do not have hair is missing on their knees it could mean they have CAE. Young goats who have CAE sometimes lean their head against a wall, because of inflammation of the brain stem and brain tissues. CAE is passed through colostrum, milk, and body fluids, (such as semen from bucks.)You can take the kids off their dams and pasteurize the dam&rsquo;s milk and then feed it to the kids and you can cut down on CAE spreading. A goat can get CAE and not show any signs for month and years, in fact many goats never show any signs through their whole life. Currently there is no known cure or vaccine. And it is not known to be communicable to humans.</p>
<p>Testing for CL and CAE is an important thing to do. Both are very painful for the animal and can cause production and longevity to go down not only for one goat but for your entire herd. Testing yearly would be a good idea if you take your goats to shows or you have a new goat in your herd or if the neighbor&rsquo;s goat came over for a visit. If your herd is a closed herd in would not hurt to have them tested every 5 years just to make sure all is well as goats can be asymptomatic.</p>
<p>The most common and reliable why to test for both CL and CAE is with blood testing. You can have your veterinarian draw the blood and send it to a lab for you. You can draw the blood yourself however people get a lot more false positives that way. You can sometimes get false negatives too so that is a reason why testing yearly is a good idea.&nbsp; You want NEGATIVES for both CL and CAE.</p>
<p>I now know why I test for CL and CAE and am glad even though I did not know what they were that I tested for them. I hope to share this with many people who are having problems with CL and CAE in their herds all around the world.</p>
