GENERAL YOUTH EXHIBITOR INFORMATION. The 

primary emphasis of youth participation in various 

exhibition and evaluation functions at the Fair is of an 

educational nature. As used in these rules, “youth” shall 

refer to both 4-H and FFA youth unless specifically 

defined as one or the other. 

Code of Conduct. All Parents/Guardians, Volunteers, 

Advisors and 4-H/FFA Youth have signed and agreed to 

abide by the following Owyhee County Code of Conduct: 

Idaho families and youth trust the University of Idaho Extension 

System to provide educational programs in a safe environment for 

all participants. The opportunity to participate in and/or work with 

Extension’s Idaho 4-H Youth Development and FFA programs is a 

privilege and honor, not a right. Volunteers and Advisors are to be 

positive role models. Youth and parents/guardians are expected to 

demonstrate appropriate behavior at all times. This Code of Conduct 

has been established as the foundation for all individuals 

participating in University of Idaho Extension programs. This Code 

has been adopted by the Owyhee County Fair Board. All 4-H Youth 

Development and FFA program participants are expected to: 

• Work with youth, families, volunteers and Extension personnel in 

a cooperative, courteous, respectful manner demonstrating good 

sportsmanship and behaviors appropriate for a positive role 

model. 

• Accept supervision from Superintendents, the Fair Board, and 

Extension personnel regarding fair events/activities and 

cooperate with others. In addition, parents and youth will accept 

supervision from certified leaders and FFA advisors. 

• Maintain open, honest communication with members, leaders, 

parents and Extension personnel. 

• Uphold every individual’s right to dignity, appropriate self-expression 

and individual development. 

• Refrain from verbal or physical abuse of others and report such 

abuse, if observed. Such action as conviction for child abuse or 

neglect, violent crimes, unethical behavior, substance abuse, verbal 

abuse, physical abuse, mismanagement of 4-H funds, or other 

serious offenses, will not be tolerated. 

• Respect, adhere to, and enforce the rules, policies and guidelines 

established at the local and state levels for the 4-H Youth 

Development program, FFA Conduct Code and school district 

policies. 

• Promote the spirit of inclusion and welcome participation of other 

individuals from all backgrounds. Comply with equal opportunity and 

anti-discrimination laws. 

• Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages, use of tobacco 

products and/or a controlled substance at 4-H events and activities. 

Being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while in the 

presence of 4-H members at or during 4-H programs or activities is 

not acceptable. 

• Inform Extension personnel of any incidents that may violate 4-H/ 

FFA policies. 

• Treat animals humanely and encourage all participants to provide 

appropriate and ethical animal care. 

• Operate machinery, vehicles, and other equipment in a safe and 

responsible manner when working with youth and adult participants 

in 4-H Youth Development and FFA programs. 

• Ensure that 4-H and FFA participants are not required to purchase 

materials, equipment, animals or services from any specific places of 

business. 

• Comply with all applicable laws of the city, county, and state of 

residence and/or location of 4-H/FFA activity. 

• Handle all concerns regarding local/area 4-H/FFA program 

management internally within the University of Idaho Extension 

system and/or the FFA chapter sponsoring school district. 

Violating the Code of Conduct shall be grounds for action up to or 

including immediate removal from the 4-H/FFA activity/program, 

termination and removal from the fairgrounds for the duration of the 

Fair. Decisions regarding immediate removal, suspension or termination 

will be made by the Grievance Committee in cooperation with the local 

Extension office personnel with subsequent notification of and 

consultation with the District Director and State 4-H Director, and/or the 

FFA chapter sponsoring school district. Those who wish to appeal a 

decision may do so through the appeal process. [The Code of Conduct 

for Parents/Guardians, Volunteers/Advisors and 4-H/FFA Youth MUST 

be signed at enrollment in order to participate. Electronic signature of 

acceptance when enrolling online constitutes acceptance and is also

the board Superintendent, competition will be considered NOT 

to exist, although the actual ownership may be separate.

sale buyers are acknowledged is of utmost 

importance. Youth MUST write thank you notes. 

Superintendents. Display space, assignment of 

stall, barn management, and show order will be 

determined by the respective Superintendents. All 

exhibits, when assigned space, become subject to the 

control of the Department Superintendent. 

MARKET LIVESTOCK EXHIBITOR INFORMATION. 

The Owyhee County Fair encourages a practical

parents/guardians and leaders/advisors are expected 

to adhere to the following rules.

Thank you 2011 Junior Livestock Sale Supporters!

Junior Livestock Sale Committee

Thank you for supporting our youth with their projects in: 

Species Days on 

Feed 

Maximum at Initial 

Weigh-In 

Businesses or individuals can help in one or more of the following ways: 

1. Purchase a whole animal and enjoy top quality meat (buyer pays for slaughter, cut 

and wrap); OR 

2. Support (re-sale) — pay the difference between floor price and your bid. All market 

livestock sale animals will be sold on a “per head” basis. For example, if the floor 

price is $100 and the bid price is $400, the buyer pays the difference of $300 and 

the animal is sold to a re-sale buyer for the floor price; OR 

3. Flat amount (add-on) — designate an amount of support for a child. 

Buyers will receive a certificate and be listed in the newspaper and in the fair book. 

See pages 40 - 41 for buyers and donors from last year.

are considered as part of herdsmanship area. 

♦ Small clubs/chapters (4 members or less) may join together for barn duty with other clubs in the same barn.

educate the general public to the importance and value of the livestock industry. 

♦ Decorations are to be neat and attractive but need not be fancy or expensive. 

♦ Exhibitors should be friendly and courteous to the public. They should be 

ready and willing to answer questions or discuss their problems. When on 

duty exhibitor should present a clean, neat appearance. 

♦ Herdsmanship hours will be from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm each day.

CLOVERBUD PROGRAM 

GUIDELINES AND POLICIES 

The Idaho 4-H Cloverbud Program is offered for boys 

and girls who are 5 years old by January 1 of the 

current 4-H year. 

Project Participation. Cloverbud members may be 

involved in non-animal, or lap animal activities. Lap 

animals are defined as: rabbits, cavies, cats, small dogs 

that weigh less than the member, chickens and minigoats. 

Cloverbuds may not be involved in large animal 

projects, competitive situations, and projects involving 

firearms or motorized vehicles. 4-H insurance policies, 

including the University of Idaho liability coverage for 

volunteers, will not cover youth or adults working with 

youth under the age of 8, involved in these activities. 

County Oral Presentations. Cloverbuds are welcomed 

and encouraged to participate in the County Oral 

Presentation Contest, typically held at the end of May. 

Participation ribbons are awarded for their efforts as 

they being to learn about public speaking and 

presentations. 

Activity Book Interviews. If a Cloverbud would like to 

experience an oral interview and discuss their 

completed activity with a judge, they are most 

welcomed to do so. These interview are held at the end 

of July, just prior to Fair. They will need to sign up for 

an interview time in the same manner as the older 4-H 

participants. After the interview they will leave their 

Activity Book with the judge and it will be added to their 

club’s display at Fair. A participation ribbon or similar 

recognition will be awarded. 

Cloverbud Exhibits at Fair. Fair exhibits by 

Cloverbuds are non-competitive and are optional. 

Exhibits are an opportunity to show what they have 

accomplished. A Cloverbud may exhibit their Activity 

Book and/or project at Fair, but are not required to do 

so. A participation ribbon or similar recognition will be 

awarded. 

Fair Entries. If your Cloverbud would like to display 

their project or projects at the Fair, please submit their 

fair entries online in the same manner as the older 4-H 

and FFA members. This helps in the planning of display 

space for their club, and insures that we will have 

enough participation ribbons for the Cloverbud 

Department. The deadline for fair entries is July 15. 

There are activity books for most of the activities listed 

available on our website at 

http://www.extension.uidaho.edu/owyhee.

In Memory of Taylor Sauer 

Taylor passed away January 14 due to injuries sustained in 

an automobile accident. She was not only active in 4-H and 

FFA in recent years, but was involved in her school and 

community in many ways. Taylor loved the Fair! 

Plans are underway to create a lasting memorial for Taylor 

Sauer and others with the construction of an outdoor classroom 

at Marsing Elementary School. Taylor’s Corner project 

was launched with a presentation to Marsing High 

School students at an assembly to help raise awareness 

about texting while driving. “Taylor wanted to be an elementary 

teacher and the outdoor classroom fits with her 

personality,” said Pete Smit, a project volunteer. 

The project will be funded entirely through donations, and 

those can include building materials, equipment for construction or by purchasing a memorial 

brick. Bricks to pave the classroom can 

be dedicated to anyone and come in three 

sizes. A $50 donation will include a 4” by 

8” brick with three lines of text. An 8” by 

8” brick with six lines of text is available 

for $100. A custom designed 12” by 12” 

tile is $500. Bricks can be purchased by 

visiting the Taylor’s Corner Facebook 

page, facebook.com/taylorscorner1, or by 

visiting http://bit.ly/TaylorsCorner. Bricks 

can also be purchased by filling out an order 

form available on the Facebook page 

and mailing it to Taylor’s Corner, P.O. 

Box 891, Marsing, Idaho 83639. 

In addition, scholarships are 

being established in Taylor’s 

memory. Youth in their senior 

year who have participated in 4 

-H or FFA projects at the Owyhee 

County Fair are eligible to 

apply. More information about 

the scholarships and how to apply 

will be available in upcoming 

editions of the Owyhee 

County 4-H Newsletter.
