Lease Paperwork

Maryland 4-Hers may own or lease their project animals. 4-H Members may not have both owned and leased animals within the same project area during the same 4-H year (which runs January 1 through December 31). Deadline for lease agreements is June 1st annually or prior to your first 4-H event, whichever comes first.

ID Cards (Alpaca, Dog, and Horse)

If you are planning to show or participate in any alpaca, dog, or horse events during the year, you need to register your 4-H project animal with the Frederick 4-H Office by completing a Maryland 4-H identification card. Deadline to file is June 1st of the current year.
