REGULATIONS FOR STATE AID<br />

These regulations for premiums, judging,<br />

accounts, and reports have been drafted with the aid<br />

enforcement is one of the duties of the Division of<br />

Fairs of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture. We<br />

solicit the cooperation of officials of every fair carrying<br />

out these regulations, which your directors have<br />

considered to be in the best interest of the county and<br />

district fairs of Wisconsin.<br />

of livestock exhibited at the fair. State aid will be paid<br />

only on premiums actually paid by bank check or<br />

won by an exhibitor. Premiums may, however, be<br />

withheld where exhibition rules established by the fair<br />

association are violated. A written statement of<br />

violation shall be submitted to the department to<br />

justify action taken by a local fair.<br />

(c) Premiums offered shall be definite in amount. No<br />

decrease or increase in published premiums may be<br />

made because of the financial condition or the<br />

organization or for any other reason.<br />

(e) No county or district fair may receive state aid for<br />

a premium awarded to any exhibitor in the open<br />

division if that exhibitor entered the same exhibit in<br />

the junior division at the same county or district fair.<br />

This paragraph does not apply if the exhibit was<br />

entered in the junior division only as part of a herd<br />

group, carcass class or performance class.<br />

(f) No state aid will be paid on the cost of ribbons,<br />

cups, trophy prizes or entertainment contests.<br />

(2) PREMIUM LISTS. (a) Premiums for which state aid is<br />

exceed $0.50 per head for poultry, rabbit or pet<br />

exhibits.<br />

(b) Exhibitors in educational and school departments<br />

shall not be required to purchase an exhibitor’s ticket.<br />

Any other exhibitor may be required, if no entry fee is<br />

charged, to purchase an exhibitor’s season ticket at a<br />

price not to exceed that charged for a non–exhibitor’s<br />

season ticket.<br />

(4) SPLIT <strong>FAIR</strong> DATES. (a) For purposes of this<br />

subsection, “split fair dates” occur when a fair<br />

organization judges exhibits or contests and pays<br />

premiums at more than one time or at more than one<br />

location during the calendar year.<br />

(b) Except as provided under par. (c), the department<br />

may not pay state aid for a fair having split dates<br />

unless the department gives advance written approval<br />

for a split fair. The department may approve split fair<br />

dates only if the fair organization justifies the split<br />

dates based on extreme hardship. If the department<br />

approves split dates, all blue ribbon winners shall<br />

repeat their demonstrations or exhibits at the regular<br />

fair dates unless the department grants a hardship<br />

exemption. An exhibitor may use audio–visual media,<br />

still photography or an educational display to repeat a<br />

demonstration or exhibit.<br />

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF <strong>FAIR</strong>S<br />

AND EXPOSITIONS (IAFE) NATIONAL CODE<br />

OF SHOW RING ETHICS<br />

Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all<br />

times deport themselves with honesty and good<br />

sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive<br />

environment shall always reflect the highest<br />

standards of honor and dignity to promote the<br />

advancement of agricultural education. This code<br />

applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who<br />

compete in structured classes of competition. This<br />

code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a<br />

livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE National Code<br />

of Show Ring Ethics,” fairs and livestock shows may<br />

have rules and regulations, which they impose, on the<br />

local, state, provincial and national levels.<br />

All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are<br />

under an affirmative responsibility to do more than<br />

avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their<br />

moral values must be so certain and positive that<br />

those younger and more pliable will be influenced by<br />

their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers<br />

and absolutely responsible persons who violate the<br />

code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards, and<br />

auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future<br />

exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the<br />

respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who<br />

violate the code of ethics demean the integrity of all<br />

livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from<br />

competition at livestock shows in the United States<br />

and Canada.<br />

The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors<br />

and all livestock in competitive events.<br />

8<br />

1. All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair<br />

and livestock show officials, proof of ownership,<br />

length of ownership and age of all animals<br />

entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age or<br />

any facts relating thereto is prohibited.<br />

2. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or<br />

absolutely responsible persons shall provide<br />

animal health certificates from licensed<br />

veterinarians upon request by fair or livestock<br />

show officials.<br />

3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and<br />

groom their animals while at fairs or livestock<br />

shows.<br />

4. Animals shall be presented to show events<br />

where they will enter the food chain free of<br />

violative drug residues. The act of entering an<br />

animal in a livestock show is the giving of<br />

consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer<br />

and/or absolutely responsible person for show<br />

management to obtain any specimens of urine,<br />

saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal<br />

to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an<br />

event which culminates with the animal entering<br />

the food chain shall not be administered drugs<br />

other than in accordance with applicable federal,<br />

state and provincial statues, regulations and rules<br />

affect the animal’s performance or appearance at<br />

the event.<br />

If the laboratory report on the analysis of<br />

saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from<br />

livestock indicates the presence of forbidden<br />

drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie<br />

evidence such substance has been administered<br />

to the animal either internally or externally. It is<br />

presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood<br />

or other substance tested by the laboratory to<br />

which it is sent is the one taken from the animals<br />

in question, its integrity is preserved and all<br />

procedures of said collection and preservation,<br />

transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the<br />

sample are correct and accurate and the report<br />

received from the laboratory pertains to the<br />

sample taken from the animal in question and<br />

correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the<br />

time the sample was taken, with the burden on the<br />

owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or absolutely<br />

responsible person to prove otherwise.<br />

At any time after an animal arrives on the fair<br />

or livestock show premises, a licensed<br />

veterinarian shall administer all treatments<br />

involving the use of drugs and/or medications for<br />

the sole purposes of protecting the health of the<br />

animal.<br />

5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any<br />

foreign substance or drug or the external<br />

application of any substance (irritant,<br />

counterirritant, or similar substance) which could<br />

affect the animal’s performance or alter its natural<br />

contour, confirmation, or appearance, except<br />

external applications of substances to the hoofs or<br />

horns of animals which effect appearance only<br />

and except for surgical procedures performed by a<br />

duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of<br />

protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited.<br />

6. The use of showing and /or handling practices<br />

or devices such as striking animals to cause<br />

swelling, using electrical contrivance, or similar<br />

practices are not acceptable and are prohibited.


7.Direct criticism or interference with the judge,<br />

fair or livestock show management, other<br />

exhibitors, breed representatives, or show ring<br />

officials before, during, or after the competitive<br />

event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their<br />

official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show<br />

management, or other show officials shall be<br />

treated with courtesy, cooperation and respect<br />

and no person shall direct abusive or threatening<br />

conduct toward them.<br />

8. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely<br />

responsible person shall conspire with another<br />

person or persons to intentionally violate this code<br />

of ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with<br />

another person or persons either by affirmative<br />

action or inaction to violate this code of ethics.<br />

Violation of this rule shall subject such individual<br />

to disciplinary action.<br />

9. The application of this code of ethics provides<br />

for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition<br />

by an owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or participant<br />

whether or not he or she was actually instrumental<br />

in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the<br />

animal in contravention of this code of ethics.<br />

10. The act of entering an animal is the giving of<br />

consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or<br />

absolutely responsible person to have disciplinary<br />

action taken by the fair or livestock show for<br />

violation of this Code of Show Ring Ethics and any<br />

other rules competition of the fair or livestock<br />

show without recourse against the fair or livestock<br />

show. The act of entering an animal is the giving<br />

of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary<br />

action taken by the fair or livestock show may be<br />

published with the name of the violator or violators<br />

in any publication of the International Association<br />

of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and<br />

Exposition and any special notices to members.<br />

11. The act of entering of an animal in a fair<br />

or livestock show is the giving of verification<br />

by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or<br />

absolutely responsible person that he or she<br />

has read the IAFE National Code of Show<br />

Ring Ethics and understands the<br />

consequences of and penalties provided for<br />

actions prohibited by the code. It is further<br />

consent that any action, which contravenes<br />

these rules and is also in violation of federal,<br />

state, or provincial statutes, regulations, or<br />

rules may be released to appropriate law<br />

enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over<br />

such infractions.<br />

WISCONSIN <strong>COUNTY</strong>, DISTRICT, AND<br />

STATE <strong>FAIR</strong>S<br />

2009 Animal Health Rules and Regulations<br />

Summary<br />

If a fair or livestock exhibition lasts more than 24<br />

hours, the sponsors shall appoint a licensed<br />

veterinarian to conduct a daily inspection of all<br />

livestock at the fair or exhibition. The veterinarian<br />

shall review all records and test results required under<br />

ATCP 10.87. If a fair or exhibition lasts less than 24<br />

hours, all records or test results required by ATCP<br />

10.87 shall be reviewed by a licensed veterinarian or<br />

by the show chairperson. Records shall include<br />

9<br />

exhibitors name and address, identification of animals<br />

exhibited including number, type and description,<br />

documentation to show compliance with disease<br />

testing and other health requirements, and the<br />

livestock premises code, if any, of the premises from<br />

which the animals originate.<br />

This is a summary of DATCP animal health<br />

requirements for exhibition only. These requirements<br />

may change due to animal disease emergence in<br />

Wisconsin or other states, for example, vesicular<br />

stomatitis in the western states. It is always advisable<br />

to check with the Division of Animal Health (608-224-<br />

4874) for the most recent health requirements when<br />

planning to exhibit animals. Animals meeting<br />

exhibition requirements may not meet all import or<br />

movement requirements for other purposes.<br />

The fair and WDATCP have the right to make such<br />

tests and examinations as may be necessary to<br />

determine the disease status of any animal exhibited<br />

and to exclude or remove any animal afflicted with or<br />

suspected of being afflicted with a contagious or<br />

infectious disease. If at any time any animal shows<br />

evidence of a contagious or infectious disease, it shall<br />

be immediately removed from the exhibit and<br />

slaughtered or quarantined as directed by the<br />

department.<br />

Exhibitors are encouraged to check with their<br />

veterinarian to make sure vaccines for respiratory,<br />

shipping fever, diarrhea, etc. are up-to-date.<br />

Any health rule changes will be updated through<br />

the Fond du Lac County Extension Office.<br />

Cattle and Bison<br />

Cattle affected with ringworm, warts, mange, or scab<br />

may not be exhibited, unless the veterinarian in<br />

charge determines the ringworm lesions or warts are<br />

inactive and incapable of transmitting the disease.<br />

Any cattle found with ringworm, warts, mange or scab<br />

that are active shall be removed from the premises of<br />

the fair.<br />

Cattle originating from within Wisconsin<br />

There are no test or health document<br />

requirements for Wisconsin cattle. However, fair<br />

management is responsible for maintaining records of<br />

persons who have exhibited at the fair, the livestock<br />

premises code, if any, and the identification of<br />

animals shown for 5 years. Acceptable forms of<br />

animal identification for breeding animals are (1) an<br />

official metal eartag, (2) a breed registration number,<br />

(3) a breed registration tattoo, or (4) other<br />

identification approved by the department. For steers,<br />

either an official identification as listed for breeding<br />

animals or the eartag applied at weigh-in may be<br />

used. Entry blanks submitted and signed by<br />

exhibitors, including one of the forms of identification<br />

listed above will fulfill the exhibitor requirements.<br />

Cattle originating from outside Wisconsin<br />

A certificate of veterinary inspection shall<br />

accompany all cattle documenting animal<br />

identification (see above) and all tests or certifications<br />

required. Animals must meet normal Wisconsin<br />

requirements for interstate movement.<br />

Steers are exempt from any brucellosis test<br />

requirement.<br />

Cattle from Brucellosis Certified Free herds in<br />

Class A states may enter Wisconsin without a prior<br />

brucellosis test if the certified herd number and the


last test date appear on the certificate of veterinary<br />

inspection.<br />

All cattle originating from Modified Accredited<br />

Advanced states shall have a negative tuberculosis<br />

test within 60 days of import. Call the Division of<br />

Animal Health for a current listing of these states.<br />

ADVISORY FOR HOUSING NON-TRADITIONAL<br />

LIVESTOCK AND FOR MANAGEMENT OF OTHER<br />

ANIMALS WHILE THE <strong>FAIR</strong> IS UNDERWAY:<br />

The department makes the following<br />

recommendations, but these are not required by<br />

statute or administrative rule:<br />

disease of cattle, can spread rapidly under the<br />

conditions of a livestock show, the department<br />

strongly recommends that all breeding cattle<br />

exhibited at Wisconsin fairs be properly<br />

vaccinated against BVD at least 30 days prior to<br />

the show. Exhibitors should consult with their<br />

veterinarians regarding the proper choice of<br />

vaccine and the correct schedule for its<br />

administration.<br />

5. Cattle should test negative for BVD-PI by<br />

immunoperoxidase test and negative for Johne’s<br />

disease by the ELISA test.<br />

Your heifers are important financial "investments," because a heifer's development can affect her performance<br />

for the rest of her life. That means your heifers determine the future of your milking herd. The proper<br />

nutrition and management in these phases can help a heifer become a more productive cow, have healthier<br />

calves without rebreeding problems, and give you improved milk production.<br />

Important Tips for Raising<br />

Award-Winning Dairy Cattle<br />

Efficient production requires a thorough understanding<br />

and application of the fundamental principles of good<br />

husbandry and sanitation. These include:<br />

1. Good Breeding - Good breeding gives dairy<br />

cattle the ability to perform satisfactorily and<br />

produce healthy offspring.<br />

2. Good Nutrition - An adequate amount of a<br />

balanced ration containing all required<br />

nutrients, vitamins, and minerals is essential<br />

for good health and proper conformation.<br />

3. Sound Management - "Know how" is required to<br />

provide the proper environment and care to<br />

minimize stress, which can adversely affect<br />

development. In addition, consult with your<br />

local veterinarian to implement a<br />

comprehensive health and disease prevention<br />

program.<br />

4. Careful Sanitation - Cleanliness is essential in<br />

providing a healthful environment.<br />

These are building blocks of the AgriLand Co-op’s Show<br />

Dairy Cattle program and the keys to successful dairy<br />

cow production. Practical application of these basic<br />

principles will not only enhance your animal's growth and<br />

development but increase its chances of winning on the<br />

breed not Junior and Senior Champion Awards.<br />

All cattle must be hornless except calves<br />

born after December 1 of the year preceding the<br />

exhibit year.<br />

Outgrowths from horn-removal will not<br />

constitute a horn unless it is pointed and<br />

deemed hazardous by the superintendent in<br />

charge. Newspaper bedding is not permitted.<br />

It is recommended that dairy exhibitors<br />

should wear white bottoms: (white pants or<br />

skirts) with the top: (shirt or blouse) being white,<br />

colored or plaid. Farm logos or other<br />

advertisements of products on clothing will be<br />

considered inappropriate dress during the dairy<br />

show.<br />

The first two blues in every class are eligible<br />

Quality Milk Auction<br />

The Fond du Lac County Holstein Breeders<br />

sponsor a Quality Milk Auction to reward project<br />

members with cows that have produced low<br />

linear score milk. Dairy baskets will be sold from<br />

the lowest linear score cows in the 2, 3, 4, 5<br />

years and older milking cow classes and dry<br />

cow class. All breeds will be combined when<br />

selecting the individual with the lowest linear<br />

score in each age category. To qualify,<br />

exhibitors must submit the last completed<br />

lactation with an average linear score with a<br />

minimum of five (5) tests, except 2-years-olds<br />

who must provide the past three monthly linear<br />

scores prior to the Fair. The cow must be on<br />

official test recognized by a breed association.<br />

An animal must be entered by the same person<br />

that is showing her at the fair. A cow cannot use<br />

the same completed linear score record used in<br />

a previous year’s Quality Milk Auction<br />

competition. This information must be<br />

submitted to the Fond du Lac County<br />

Extension office on Wednesday, two weeks<br />

before the sale. Submissions need to include<br />

the class under which the animal will be shown.<br />

Once selected, each participant will receive a<br />

letter from the auction chairperson listing<br />

activities required prior to the auction. All dairy<br />

cows selected for the Quality Milk Auction must<br />

be entered to show and be checked in by 1:00<br />

p.m. on Wednesday, of the Fair by the Dairy<br />

Superintendents or they will be disqualified.<br />

The Quality Milk Auction will be held in<br />

conjunction with the Market Livestock Auction on<br />

Wednesday of the Fair. Proceeds will be split<br />

with 25% going to the exhibitor and 75% to<br />

cover the sale expense, improvements to<br />

fairgrounds, and fund State Fair Junior Dairy<br />

Exhibits.<br />

Cow Classes and Linear Score Determination:<br />

• 2 years – average of the past three<br />

monthly linear scores<br />

• 3 years – average linear score for last<br />

completed lactation<br />

• 4 years – average linear score for last<br />

completed lactation<br />

• 5 years and older – average linear score<br />

for last completed lactation<br />

• Dry cow – average linear score for last<br />

completed lactation<br />

Tie breaker will be determined by somatic<br />

cell count average. Youth may sell in both the<br />

Quality Milk Auction and the Market Livestock<br />

Sale.<br />

ANIMAL PROJECT<br />

Project and Sales Guidelines,<br />

Entry Information<br />

General Guidelines<br />

All market animals must meet regular Fair<br />

Health Requirements (reference previous<br />

section pertaining to animal health requirement.)<br />

A market animal can only be exhibited in one<br />

department. The same animal cannot be<br />

exhibited in both the junior and open show nor<br />

can a female market animal be shown in both<br />

market and breeding class.<br />

When purchasing market animals for<br />

exhibition and sale, you must obtain a signed<br />

and dated receipt of purchase from the seller.<br />

The receipt must include any identification<br />

information that is available (for example, birth<br />

date, ear notch, etc.). If needed at a later date,<br />

the burden of ownership proof will be on the<br />

exhibitor and will include an original receipt of<br />

purchase. Home raised animals need to be able<br />

to present records of ownership and<br />

identification information (See IAFE National<br />

Code of Show Ring Ethics on page 7).<br />

An exhibitor cannot show an animal that was<br />

entered or exhibited by another person except in<br />

the case of an unforeseen circumstance<br />

(sickness, injury, etc.) If possible, substitute<br />

exhibitor should be a relative or same club/FFA<br />

member and changes must be previously<br />

confirmed with UW Extension agent. Also, an<br />

exhibitor must be recognized as a member of an<br />

acknowledged Fond du Lac County<br />

Organization.<br />

All animals being shown must be able to walk<br />

in a normal fashion, or they will not be allowed to<br />

be exhibited or sold in the market livestock sale.<br />

All market and breeding animals must have<br />

proper care for the duration of the Fair. If the<br />

barn superintendent rules that animals are not<br />

being adequately cleaned, fed, bedded, or<br />

cooled, a warning to the exhibitor will be given.<br />

A second violation of this rule will result in loss<br />

of fair premiums and the privilege to participate<br />

in the market animal sale for the subsequent<br />

year. The superintendent and a member of the<br />

Fair Board will rule on second offenses. All<br />

decisions will be final.<br />

Exhibitors are expected to keep all walking<br />

alleys and feed areas clean and to keep trash or<br />

other foreign material out of manure piles.<br />

All exhibitors and their parents or guardians<br />

must sign a form attesting to proper withdrawal<br />

of all additives and injections administered to the<br />

animals being shown. Any questionable carcass


will have tissue samples collected by the state<br />

meat inspector to be submitted to the state<br />

laboratory. The exhibitor will pay the cost of the<br />

analysis.<br />

Junior exhibitors are required to fit their own<br />

animals.<br />

• No fitting chutes will be allowed in and<br />

around the barns, including the wash rack<br />

areas.<br />

• For safety reasons, no fitting will be allowed<br />

in the aisles of the barns.<br />

• Fitting will be permitted in the bedding pack<br />

area within a club exhibit for that club only.<br />

Fitting in the bedding pack areas will only be<br />

allowed if it does not crowd the exhibit<br />

animals.<br />

• The fitting tent is an exhibit for the public to<br />

view. No alcohol, smoking, or use of vulgar<br />

language will be allowed. Persons abusing<br />

the fitting tent or violating the rules will be<br />

removed.<br />

• Fitting is limited to the exhibitor, his/her<br />

mother, father, sister, brother or stepparent<br />

or legal guardian with proof of relationship,<br />

or junior exhibitor participating in the Fond<br />

du Lac County Fair.<br />

• All persons other than exhibitors using the<br />

fitting tent must register with the<br />

superintendent prior to any fitting activities.<br />

Release of Animals<br />

All market animals are to remain on exhibit<br />

until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Breeding stock must<br />

remain in place until 6:00 p.m. Exceptions will<br />

only be made for state breed shows and illness.<br />

Sick animals may be removed only by a written<br />

or oral authorization by the attending<br />

veterinarian. All other removal of animals is a<br />

privilege and must be approved by the Fair<br />

Board.<br />

Any complaints regarding eligibility of entries<br />

shall be filed in writing. Before any exhibitor is<br />

disqualified, he/she will be granted the right to<br />

meet with the Fair Board regarding the potential<br />

disqualification. If a market animal dies during<br />

the Fair, or is condemned by meat inspection as<br />

a result of tampering, the exhibitor must refund<br />

the sale buyer the current stockyard value.<br />

Exhibitor must have liability insurance in the<br />

event of injury to people and/or the animal, while<br />

at the Fair, causes damage to personal property.<br />

Meat Animal Sale Requirements<br />

The Meat Animal Sale will be held on<br />

Wednesday evening beginning at 5:00 p.m. for<br />

qualifying animals and their exhibitors.<br />

All sale animals must have been weighed<br />

and properly identified at the time of the<br />

designated initial weigh-in. During initial weigh-in<br />

multiple names may be indicated for an<br />

individual animal only in the case where it is<br />

within a family (brothers & sisters) and the<br />

20<br />

animals are housed in the same location. No<br />

“switching” of animals may occur outside of<br />

immediate family members between initial and<br />

final weigh-in.<br />

Market livestock sale participants and<br />

exhibitors must play a significant role in the care<br />

and training of their project animals from the<br />

time of initial weigh-in through the duration of the<br />

Fair. This should be the case regardless of<br />

where the animal is housed.<br />

Exhibitors may show market animals in more<br />

than one department but may sell only one<br />

animal in the market livestock sale. An exhibitor<br />

with more than one eligible animal to sell will<br />

have the responsibility to inform the Fair Office<br />

which entry he/she wishes to be sold. This<br />

should be done immediately following the last<br />

market class or the Market Livestock Committee<br />

will make the decision.<br />

All livestock animals will be double-tagged at<br />

weigh-in. One tag will be the RFID tag and an<br />

additional tamper-proof tag. If an animal loses a<br />

tag, the MLC needs to be contacted to re-tag the<br />

animal. If an animal loses both tags, the animal<br />

will be disqualified from the competition.<br />

All market animals will be weighed upon<br />

arrival at the Fair on Tuesday. Weight eligibility<br />

requirements for the sale are as follows:<br />

Beef Steers: Minimum 1050 lbs.<br />

No Maximum<br />

Dairy Steers:<br />

Minimum 1100 lbs.<br />

No Maximum<br />

Market Swine: Minimum 230 lbs.<br />

No Maximum, but sale price at<br />

auction will be paid for a maximum<br />

weight of 300 lbs.<br />

Lambs:<br />

Minimum 100 lbs.<br />

No Maximum<br />

Market Goats: Minimum 50 pounds<br />

No maximum<br />

Market Livestock Project participants are<br />

required to complete all necessary required<br />

educational credits to sell an animal in the Meat<br />

Animal Sale. The list of Market Livestock<br />

Project Educational Meetings and Requirements<br />

will be set by the Livestock Committee and UW<br />

Extension, and are available at the UW<br />

Extension office.<br />

Absolutely no stags, boars, bulls, rams, or<br />

bucks (knowingly) will be sold in the Market<br />

Livestock Sale.<br />

All market sale animals must have been<br />

exhibited in their appropriate market animal<br />

class.<br />

Exhibitors leading their animals into the sale<br />

ring must be wearing collared shirts (no tee<br />

shirts) and clean pants or skirts. The Market<br />

Livestock committee reserves the right to<br />

prohibit sale of an animal if the exhibitor is not<br />

properly dressed.


All market livestock sale participants must<br />

complete an official Market Livestock Production<br />

Record Form. These will be mailed to exhibitors<br />

in June and must be completed and mailed back<br />

to the UW-Extension office by the Friday<br />

following Labor Day. This will be done in<br />

addition to any required forms needed for 4-H<br />

and FFA record books. Failure to successfully<br />

complete and turn-in the form on time may result<br />

in loss of sale privileges for the subsequent<br />

year. The Market Livestock Committee will<br />

check forms and all decisions will be final.<br />

All animals competing for Champion or<br />

Reserve Champion will do so with the intention<br />

of being sold. Any double champions will need<br />

to choose which animal to sell and forfeit the<br />

champion designation of the other animal. This<br />

will have the Reserve Champion move into the<br />

Champion designation and the Honorable<br />

Mention to be moved into the Reserve<br />

Champion designation.<br />

There will be a 5% minimum deduction from<br />

the selling price of each animal to promote and<br />

finance the meat animal sale, purchase<br />

equipment, and conduct overall educational<br />

programs.<br />

An animal will not be eligible to sell if it has<br />

been disqualified by the sale committee and/or<br />

is judged as not in a saleable condition.<br />

The Fair Board and Market Sale Committee<br />

does not guarantee sale price. It is up to the<br />

project member to solicit prospective buyers.<br />

Animals can be sold only once during the<br />

Livestock Sale.<br />

The sale is a terminal sale. Animals sold<br />

during the sale are not to be resold, “switched”<br />

for other animals, or shown at other fairs.<br />

Buyers take ownership of the animals after<br />

the sale but do not take possession until release<br />

time (5:00 p.m. on Sunday). Market livestock<br />

displays can be removed after project load-out.<br />

A Market Animal Identification Card provided<br />

by the Fair Office must identify all livestock sold.<br />

It shall be the exhibitor’s responsibility to have<br />

this card or a similar card properly displayed<br />

over the animal’s pen or stall by noon on<br />

Thursday.<br />

Exact requirements, changes, and standard<br />

operating procedures will be maintained and<br />

made public at the following website:<br />

Horses are unique in the livestock world, and cannot be fed the same way as cattle, hogs, sheep, or any other<br />

livestock species. However, following a few guidelines will go a long way toward ensuring that your horse's<br />

nutrient requirements are met without increasing the risk of the digestive disturbances that seem to plague<br />

many horses:<br />

~Feed horses according to lifestyle.<br />

~Feed appropriate amount of feed.<br />

~Measure feed by weight, not volume.<br />

~Do not over-feed grain.<br />

~Do not dilute balanced rations.<br />

~Do not supplement balanced rations.<br />

~Feed adequate amounts of roughage.<br />

~Use only top quality feeds.<br />

~Feed at the same time every day.<br />

~Properly manage group-fed horses.<br />

~Avoid sudden changes.<br />

~Provide clean, fresh water.<br />

~Exercise horses regularly.<br />

~Check teeth regularly.<br />

~Practice parasite control measures.<br />

~Keep an eye on horse’s manure.<br />

~Practice routine veterinary maintenance.<br />

the booths must be made with the Fair Office by<br />

organizations.<br />

Booths will be about 4’x4’x4’. Exhibitor must<br />

supply all materials used in the construction of<br />

the booths.<br />

Although advice regarding the construction of<br />

the booths may be secured from others, it is<br />

understood that the booths will be constructed<br />

without professional assistance.<br />

DIVISION 227 – Club Booths<br />

Some principles to apply to your booth are:<br />

1. Show one central idea. You can’t tell<br />

everything you know in one exhibit.<br />

2. The idea must be understood in 6-8<br />

seconds. A short and snappy message is<br />

learned, a long ignored.<br />

3. Eye-appeal is essential. You are<br />

competing for the viewer’s attention. Color,<br />

light, motion, and attractive design are<br />

necessary.<br />

4. Each booth should contain the name of<br />

the club or chapter that has constructed the<br />

booths. Exhibits entered in booths cannot be<br />

entered for individual competition.<br />

Booth Score Card Effectiveness<br />

• Attractiveness 15 pts.<br />

• How well labeled 10 pts.<br />

• Quality of materials15 pts.<br />

• Arrangement 10 pts.<br />

• Promotes 4-H 25 pts.<br />

Total<br />

Club booths will be judged in accordance to<br />

the Danish system. Therefore, clubs are

will be awarded accordingly. If score sheets are<br />

not attached to the booths, they may be picked<br />
