- Verification Forms: What is a verification form? This form confirms that you have owned or leased your project animal by a specific date. In order to exhibit any animal species, such as dog, dairy, beef, working steer, sheep, swine, llama, alpaca, goat, horse, rabbit, mules, donkeys, reptiles, small animal and poultry, at a UConn 4-H Fair for that project year, the project must be owned or leased by a specific date. Please see chart below for the dates for each species. It is important that each 4-H member complete new verification forms each year. Get your forms from your leader, or call your local office. Wet signatures will be required on verification and lease forms. Forms must be sent via hard copy or scan to the county 4-H office. Those submitting late verification forms will not be eligible for consideration for 4-H programming at the Big E. Please see "Other Animal Forms" below.
