3. The number of animals shown in each class will be at the discretion of the barn superintendent and the judge. 4.

Intact males may not be sold as market animals. 7. Market animals will not be shown in breeding classes except in dam and produce classes. 8 We support and encourage the humane treat- ment of all animals. Exhibitors are expected to treat their animals with respect and provide for their con- tinuous well-being through proper feeding, handling, disease prevention, sanitation and attention to their safety. S. Fair Classes — Showmanship (Required): 1. EXHIBITORS MUST ENTER ONE SHOW- MANSHIP CLASS AND ALL PORTIONS OF THE LIVESTOCK JUDGING CONTEST. 2. The number of animals in each class will be at the discretion of the barn superintendent and the judge. 3. Animals used for showmanship must be en- tered in a 4-H/FFA market or 4-H/FFA breeding class. Animals shown must be recognized as the member’s animal by 4-H/FFA. 4. The 4-H/FFA division is a youth show. All care and fitting must be done by the 4-H/FFA member. (Member should be able to demonstrate care and fitting techniques if asked.) Involvement of adults must be limited to advising. Any 4-H/FFA ani- mal fitted for show by adults or professionals is ineli- gible for premiums or show. 4-H/FFA animals must be fitted in the barn area. (Violations of this rule are to be reported to the 4-H agent and FFA instructors. 4-H/ FFA members receive a warning for the first violation (from the 4-H agent and executive committee). The second violation disqualifies members from showing the animal and receiving any premiums 5. No oils or powders to be used on market Hogs, use only products developed for Hogs. 6. Artificial coloring of any animal (including hooves) or any artificial means of removing or reme- dying physical defects of confirmation in animals such as lifting or filling under the skin will be considered as fraud and deception. All animals giving evidence of such treatment before or after slaughter will result in the owner being barred from future shows and all awards and sale proceeds being withheld from the current show. 7. Judges may ask questions about the mem- ber’s animal, fitting and showing. 8. ALL EXHIBITORS ARE AUTOMATICALLY EN- TERED AND MUST EXHIBIT IN THE SHOWMANSHIP CONTEST UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN EXCUSED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE BARN SUPERINTENDENTS AND THE 4-H LEADERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND FFA INSTRUCTORS. 9. Showmanship class order will be Seniors first, Intermediates second and Juniors last. 10. Showmanship champions are eligible to compete in the Master Showmanship Contest. If a member qualifies in two species (or more) he or she must choose which animal species they prefer to show. Those members who qualify for the Master Showman- ship Contest (including small animals and horses) will use the animal they qualified with and start the con- test with their own animal. Organization of the contest is at the discretion of the livestock superintendents, the Extension Agent and the FFA Instructors. T. Stock may be sold in the barns only if approved by the appropriate barn superintendent. The 4-H program is NOT responsible for animals sold outside the auc- tion; the transaction is between the seller and buyer. U.

V. 4-H exhibitors must at all times give the necessary personal attention to their exhibit and at the close of Fair must take entire charge of same, including cleaning of stalls and pens.
