2. Complete stall card for each animal to be exhibited once they are entered. Stall cards available at Fair Office on the day of check in.

Livestock exhibitors must be on hand to exhibit their entries. No adult may assist with the showing of an animal. All adults must remain outside the show ring while livestock is being judged. The only persons allowed in the ring will be the superintendents, the judge, and the exhibitor: for livestock of a wild nature, superintendents must decide whether it is reasonably safe for the animal to enter the ring.

4. Exhibitors, except for Open Class, of beef, swine, and sheep shall weigh their animals at the fairgrounds to facilitate the animals being placed correctly in either light or heavy weight classes. Any objection about weight of an animal must be made by the exhibitor at the time of entry. The exhibitor has no right at a later time to ask for re-weighing.

5. An exhibitor’s first two animals in each division (market and/or breeding of beef, sheep, swine, dairy and goats) will be eligible to receive a livestock premium, except for Open Class Livestock. (Example: 2 market and/or 2 breeding in each species). A maximum of 4 premiums per species. No premiums will be paid on any Showmanship Classes.

6. Each exhibitor will be held responsible for the feeding and care of their exhibit. Exhibitors must provide their own straw or bedding (sand will be provided for cattle if needed) and their own watering and feeding equipment. Each exhibitor must keep stalls, bedding and camping area clean. Failure to do this will result in forfeiture of premium money.

7. Only immediate family members and junior leaders may assist livestock project members in fitting and grooming. While recognizing that young project members may need some help, the idea is for the family members and junior leaders to insist that the project member does all he or she is capable of doing. Guidance and supervisory instruction are encouraged. No professional fitting will be allowed.

8. Livestock exhibited at the county fair can be either purebred or commercial. All registered breeding animals must have original registration papers in the sole name of the exhibitor prior to June 15.

For steers and lambs, a nose print card, plus $6.00 nomination fee per animal is required. Nominations for steers are due May 1 and nominations for lambs are due June 15. Market hogs going to the State Fair need ear notched and a Kansas ear tag. Nominations for market hogs (ear notch form plus $6.00 per animal) are due June 15. State Fair 4-H entry deadlines are: July 15 - beef, sheep and swine; August 1 – horse, and August 15 - all other State Fair exhibits.

10. GENERAL HEALTH REQUIREMENTS, WITHDRAWAL TIMES FOR HEALTH AIDS, GROWTH PROMOTANTS, AND OTHER APPROVED MATERIALS: Exhibitors, their parents, leaders and instructors have a serious responsibility to use animal health aids (drugs), growth promotants, and any other approved materials with great care, and only when needed and in correct amounts. Approved withdrawal times are set and must be followed to assure a safe meat supply. Non-approved substances should not be used. All animals are subject to examination by the exhibition staff or their representatives, and shall be free of clinical signs of infectious or contagious disease. At the Superintendent’s discretion, the Superintendent may require a contestant to either: (A) Remove any animal from the Fair; or (B) Require the contestant to obtain a veterinarian’s review of the animal and clearance to continue at the Fair at the expense of the exhibitor.

11. Any exhibitor, who is found to have tampered with or who inhumanely abuses an animal will be barred from showing and will forfeit any premium, ribbon or prize won.

12. No early release of any projects, prizes and premium will be forfeited.
