Only a fair may request, in writing a variance on their own behalf or on behalf of an exhibitor to a specific rule. This request must be made prior to the start of the fair or specific competition for which a variance is requested. If F&E approves a specific variance request it may approve a conditional variance with specific conditions. Any approved variance shall expire at the conclusion of the annual fair. 5.

first, second, third place, etc. according to merit. If without merit, the judge shall make no award under any circumstances. The judge may award championships or other awards at his/her discretion for superior exhibits. This applies whether there are one or more exhibits in class.
IV. AWARDS AND SCORING
1. Fair Management is not responsible for errors on entry forms. No exhibitor shall be entitled to an award that has been disallowed as the result of his/her own error. 2. All divisions or classes will be judged under the American system and/or Danish system as stated in the fair’s exhibitor handbook. 3. State “Judging Standards” are to be used where applicable. Local judging standards may be used if published in the exhibitor handbook. 4. Cash awards will be paid only as recorded on the signed Judging Sheet or judging affadavit and only to the exhibitor. 5. Fair Management shall withhold the payment of awards for exhibits that are determined ineligible under State and Local Rules and may recover awards that have been paid for ineligible exhibits. 6. No exhibitor shall receive more than two cash awards in any one class using American judging system. (See definition of exhibitor.) a. When an exhibitor earns more than two awards in a class, the exhibitor will receive the two highest cash awards, and the lesser cash awards will be moved down the placings to other exhibitors; ribbons will be awarded as placed. b. Any difference in payment limits under the Danish system of judging shall be printed in the exhibitor handbook. c. When the fair combines classes, an exhibitor is entitled to two cash awards per each class that was combined. Judges should determine special awards as printed before combining. 7.

Sweepstakes shall be awarded only when at least three separate exhibitors have achieved at least a combined point total of 30. c. To receive sweepstakes awards, an exhibitor must have a minimum of ten points. d. Sweepstakes points will be credited only to the exhibitor whose name appears on the entry form. e. There are separate sweepstakes or high point rules for horse shows, which may be determined by the fair. 8. Ties which cannot be broken by the judge will be processed as follows (See also Horse Show Department): a. 2-way tie for 1st place: Combine 1st and 2nd place money and divide equally between the two 1stplace exhibitors.

V. PROTEST
1. Protests will be considered only if there has been a violation of State or Local Rules. Decisions of judges, veterinarians, weighmasters, breed callers, tail dock officials and timers cannot be protested and are final. 2. Protests must be accompanied by a deposit of either $100.00 (cash, money order or certified check made payable to the fair) or $200.00 if the protest relates to violations of State Rules X-XI (Animal Health Rules). NOTE: The deposit will be returned if the protest is upheld. If the protest is upheld, the violator may be held liable for any portion of the direct costs incurred by the fair in the course of the protest resolution. Failure to reimburse the fair shall be cause for disallowing future entries in any of the network of California fairs. 3. Given the short duration of the fair: a. The protestor shall make every effort to file the protest prior to judging.

Spring Calving Heifer: Estimated calving date (January 1 thru May 1) MEMBER ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for this Beef Replacement Heifer Project the exhibitor must be a member in good standing of a 4-H Club or FFA Chapter in Modoc or Siskiyou counties in the 10-A District, or be a qualified independent junior exhibitor from Modoc or Siskiyou counties in the 10-A District.
HEIFER ELIGIBILITY Registered or grade beef replacement heifers are eligible projects. Grade heifers must be without horns. The sire of the heifer must be of a beef breed. If an exhibitor declares that the heifer is registered, the registration papers must be signed off and submitted to the Livestock Office before the heifer will be allowed to sell. Heifers must be bred and purchased from a breeder in Modoc, Siskiyou, or Klamath Counties. The age limit for a heifer is a minimum of 15 months and a maximum of 30 months on the opening day of the fair. Heifers must weigh a minimum of 900 pounds at the weigh-in during the fair and be bred to calve between September 15th thru December 15th and from January1st thru May 1st.These requirements will be verified at the scale by the certified weigh master, the attending veterinarian, and fair management. Those heifers that do not meet criteria will be disqualified from show competition. OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS AND PROJECT AGREEMENT The project members must have ownership of their heifer no later than 120 days before fair. Heifers must be weighed and tagged at the pre-weigh in to be eligible. The original Bill of Sale must be retained by the exhibitor and presented to the State Brand Inspector at the Fair. SUBSTITUTIONS If a breeding or health problem should occur, as evidenced by a veterinarian of the 4-H Leader/FFA Instructor in charge, a substitute heifer may be allowed if owned by the member on or before the 120 day ownership requirement and was tagged and weighed at that time. BREEDING A PROJECT MANAGEMENT Heifers must be bred to calve between September 15th thru December 15th and from January 1st thru May 1st. Two calving divisions will be available at the fair, (1) Fall Calving Division and (2) Spring Calving Division. Heifers will be preg-checked on weigh day at the Fair by a veterinarian specified by Fair Management. Heifers that are not bred within the specified calving times will be disqualified from show competition. Heifers may be bred naturally, or by artificial insemination. They should be bred to bulls with low birth weights in order to reduce difficulty in calving. Accurate records must be kept on the heifers. It is important that members have dates written down as to when the heifer was exposed to that bull and any data that could be beneficial to the potential buyer. HEALTH At the start of the project, members should seek advice from a local veterinarian about preventing diseases such as Leptospirosis, Vibrosis, Anaplosmosis, and Brucellosis. State law requires that beef heifers over twelve (12) months of age show evidence of the calfhood brucelloisis vaccination if they are sold within the state of California for breeding purposes. Therefore, it is mandatory that the brucellosis ear tag number (orange metal clip number) and tattoo number be entered on the entry form. All heifers will

JUNIOR DAIRY CATTLE
be checked by the veterinarian upon arrival on the Fairgrounds and those heifers having no tattoo shall be disqualified from show competition. JUDGING The Danish System of Judging will be used at the Fair, giving an exhibitor three (3) possible group placings; Purple, Blue and Red. A Grand Champion and Reserve Grade Champion Beef Replacement Heifer will be selected by the judge(s). Heifers awarded purple and blue ribbons in show competition will qualify for the Beef Replacement Heifer sale held during the Fair. Heifers that receive a red ribbon do not qualify for the sale and will not be allowed to sell in the Replacement Heifer Sale. Heifers that qualify for the sale are not required to sell, but must inform the livestock office within one hour following the heifer show in order to be removed from the sale order. The Grand and Reserve Champion heifers must sell in the Replacement Heifer Sale. REPLACEMENT HEIFER SALE An exhibitor may enter and exhibit up to three (3) beef replacement heifers, but not sell more than one beef replacement heifer at the fair per year. Only those heifers placing in the top two groups (Purple and Blue) will be eligible to sell. A commission charge of 8% will be deducted from the exhibitor’s sale proceeds. If a heifer calves during the Fair and has qualified for the sale, she will be eligible to be sold with the calf by her side provided that the calf is healthy and the heifer is controllable. The decision will be made by fair management. RELEASE OF REPLACEMENT HEIFERS The fair would prefer that the replacement heifers sold in the Heifer Sale stay on the fairgrounds throughout the week of fair and released on Sunday during the scheduled release time. If a buyer requests to transport their purchase(s) immediately after the sale, permission must be obtained by fair management and load-out guidelines provided by fair management must be followed in order to ensure the safety of the public and non-interference with fair-time events. Heifers who do not qualify for the sale must remain on the fairgrounds throughout the week of fair and will be released at the normal scheduled release time. TEMPERAMENT OF HEIFER Heifers must be gentle and trained to lead with a show halter. The Fair Management reserves the right to disqualify any animal as ineligible for show competition, and order the removal of any beef entry that is not gentle and properly halter broke to lead, and which could therefore endanger other exhibitors and Fair-going public. In the event that an animal injures a member of the Fair-going public, the exhibitor (not the TBVF) is liable. Insurance must be purchased from CFSA to cover the exhibitor should such and incident occur during Fair. Please contact the Fair office for purchasing insurance or further information.

The Pig Scramble is a squealing, scrambling good time and is as much fun for the kids as it is for the spectators watching! Contestants weighing between 30 and 75 lbs. race after clever and wily young pigs turned loose in the arena. The contestant’s objective is to catch and hold on to a slippery pig in the grass arena. Be prepared: if a contestant catches a pig, the pig will come home to live with the contestant! The Egg & Spoon Race will have kids and adults “cracking up” by offering a fun and exciting event for the youngsters! Open to children ages 3 to 12. Contestants must race with the egg in the spoon, holding the spoon by the handle, and far enough so judges can see that no finger or thumb touches the egg. On the signal, contestants race to far end of arena, around a barrel and back to the finish line. The first contestant back with their egg wins. The Potato Sack Races: Open to ages 3 to 12 to hop on out into the arena and race like super spuds! Participants will run to the sack, put both feet in and begin hopping toward the finish line. Contestants must keep both feet in sack and at least one hand on the sack at all times. The sack must remain as close to the waist as possible and should not fall below the knees. The first racer to the finish line wins.
Kids Dummy Steer Roping: Children aged 3 to 12 can participate in roping a “dummy” steer. It doesn’t matter if the rope misses, it’s all about having fun! Three-legged Potato Sack Race: Two people form a team to race. One person put a left leg and the other person put a right leg in a potato sack. They stand side-by-side and race together from the beginning to the end. The first team to reach the finish line wins! The Stick Horse Race provides great ol’time fun for the youngsters! We’re calling all jockeys, ages 3 to 12, to compete in the Stick Horse Races! We will provide the stick horses, you provide the fun! Race 1 (10 yards): 3-4 year olds; Race 2 (20 yards): 5-7 year olds; Race 3 (30 yards): 8-12 year olds.
