(Registration in a partnership of family name is acceptable providing animal designation at the begin- ning of the project.) C. To ensure that the generous donations of trophy and award donors and the livestock sale buyers are acknowledged all 4-H and FFA members MUST write thank-you notes before receiving premium money or sales checks. D. Enrollment deadline for market animals was March 15, 2017. Animals must have been in 4-H member’s possession by: April 8 - market steers; May 6 - market hogs; June 4 - market sheep & market goats; June 1st - market rabbits & market poultry - and all other animals and birds not noted above (this includes breeding stock). E. Market steers are weighed and identified with special ear tags approximately 120 days prior to the show. Market swine and market lambs are weighed and identified with special ear tags approximately 100 and 70 days respectively, before Fair. No more than 2 market animals of the same species will be tagged at weigh-in per 4-H member. If a member has one market animal tagged and that animal dies, then the 4-H/FFA member must notify the Extension office, their 4-H leader or FFA instructor about the loss within 24 hours. They can then request permission to purchase another animal. If the animal dies after July 15, then in order to sell the new animal in the auction the animal must be one that was tagged at the initial weigh-in. Tranquilized animals will not be allowed. A licensed veterinarian may tranquilize an animal on the fairgrounds to prevent property damage or danger to people, however the animal(s) must be removed from the fairgrounds. The show reserves the right to use appropriate tests to detect these substances. F. Exhibitors must provide feed for their animals. Those members with market animals must provide sufficient feed to carry their animals from the time of sale until the time of slaughter (poultry & rabbits - 1 day; steers - 2 days; hogs - 2 days; lambs - 2 days). Extra feed will be stored as designated by your barn superintendent. Your superintendent will suggest how much feed to leave. G. Each exhibitor may enter no more than seven sheep, seven dairy cattle, seven beef, seven swine, seven dairy goats, seven pygmy goats, seven rabbits, seven poultry, and two dogs. H.

If veterinary work is needed during the Fair, the 4-H/FFA member assumes the expenses. L. All animals not manageable at the time of the Fair will not be acceptable as entries and must be removed from the Fairgrounds. The decision shall be at the option of the 4-H Barn Superintendents and the county Extension Agents and FFA instructors and shall be final. M.
