  7. Owners will show their own animals, but animals may be shown by person of equal experience on permission of the Superintendent.

  8. Incorrect entries will not be accepted. To show in Open Class, entries must be entered on line or in the fair office by July 25th and follow the rules stated above. Each student must enter Fitting and Showing on line or on the livestock entry form. Any changes in entries after the July 25 due date must notify Superintendent of change. If registration papers are required to show in Open Class, they must be to the Open Class Superintendent by August 1st or a late fee of $10.00 per paper will apply.

  9. Members may enter only one breed of dairy and beef in the fitting and showing contest. Members must show their own animals unless there is an agreement in place prior to June 1st of the current year in the agreement page of the record book. Limit of 4 per exhibitor or a total of 7 if borrowing animals unless Superintendent gives permission, based on space. Students must show FFA entries in Fitting and Showing and type.

The only exception for late scoring will be in case of an emergency (being out of town or on vacation is not an emergency). Any late books must be delivered to the FFA Superintendent for evaluation before the fair starts. Late record books will not earn premium money and must score at least 50 points for the exhibitor to be allowed to exhibit at the Fair.

28. Due to space availability, exhibitors may be asked to leave animals home for a variety of reasons. The order in which exhibitors will be asked to leave animals at home is as follows: 1. Late entries 2. Out of county exhibitors  3. Two entries per lot or  4. Multiple entries of a division.

29. Students must fit their own exhibit animals. No one may fit the animals other than the exhibitor. Discretion on the part of outside parties is mandatory. Help must be limited to teaching and holding, but not doing. This will be strictly enforced in all FFA barns where animals are housed.

30. There will be a $10 fee assessed to each entry that does not show and has not been cancelled by Tuesday at 5 pm before the fair starts. Call the Superintendent to cancel. This will be deducted from the premium check.
