Online submission went very well for the most part. As with anything new, we did have a couple concerns but for the most part it was a great success! Thank you to all the leaders and members for working with us in this transition to online forms.

Concerns/Problems from 2016;

·  A few members entered their animals twice (or someone entered for them and they also did it themselves)

·  Not hitting the send conformation email which saves the information and completes the entry.

·  Membership lists coming in late so not having them to reference in AssistExpo.

·  A member too young to show entered a livestock project, they had an ID number as a clover bud.

·  A member selected the wrong county so forms could not be accessed by livestock coordinator.
