July 24 - July 28, 2013 • WELD COUNTY FAIR 19

Welcome to the 2013 Weld County Fair!

We are looking forward to another exciting year with most of the favorite shows and exhibitors coming back for 2013. I would like to thank everyone who helped make last years Fair the success it was, and to say that I was proud of the dedication and work all the volunteers put into making the fair work as well as it does.

I would like to also like to thank the fair board for all of their support for without them the fair would not be possible or nearly as successful. The fair board is made up of a diverse group of individuals who share their unique talents, passions, and common interest to enhance the fair experience for every one. We are continually looking for more talent to include on the board and I would like to ask anyone who would like to participate more to consider becoming a fair board member or part of one of many committees. This is a rewarding way to give back to the community and help show your support of Agriculture in Weld County.

Another group of dedicated people who deserve all our thanks is the Extension Office Personnel who are the everyday behind the scene people who keep the Fair Board on tract and who are the go to people for the fair. I would like to congratulate Janet Konkel for winning the 2012 Fair Coordinator of the Year award from the Colorado Association of Fairs! Janet has gone above and beyond to make the fair work the way it has the last few years. Janet has also standardized and documented most of the procedures for putting on a fair that will help all involved to continue the continuity that is now starting to be recognized by all who participate in the fair.

Last I would especially like to thank the Weld County Commissioners for their continued support of the fair. There are a number of Counties who do not have the support of their County Commissioners and whose fairs are struggling to continue promoting agriculture in their area. Weld County can be proud that with the support of the County Commissioners our fair is the gold standard that other fairs are going to strive to reach in the future. The County Commissioners are giving back to agriculture, and the youth of Weld County and deserve all of our thanks.

For all of our exhibitors who are coming back I hope this years fair is better than last and that is the event you consider the event to must be at.

Sincerely, Terry Sandmeier/Fair Board President

2013 WELD COUNTY FAIR ROYALTY QUEEN Kaylee Luppens Hello Weld County, my name is Kaylee Luppens and I am your 2013 Weld County Fair Queen. I am a senior at Briggsdale High school and will be graduating this May. I

can’t believe how fast my high school years have gone, it seems like just yesterday that I was an incoming freshmen. As I get closer to becoming an adult I have set many future goals. I plan on attending Colorado State University for their Equine Science program. While I am attending CSU I will be a part of the English Riding club, a sorority, and continue to show my horses. My goal is to qualify for the United States Equestrian Team in show jumping and attend the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Then after I graduate college with my major in equine science I hope to begin my horse career with finding a trainer position at a barn and to eventually have my own equestrian facility where I will not only be a trainer but will also be busy with importing horses for show jumping and eventing disciplines and run a breeding facility. Although I could live off of horses I now that the economy does not always provide the best lifestyle for that environment there for I also plan on having a side job. I have not decided what to do yet but I am thinking of either photography or interior design. But for right now I am enjoying my last couple of months in high school.

This year I was unable to participate in the winter sports due to a knee injury but I still participated as the football manager. I had so much fun getting to know the team and being able to share the great season they had. The team went to playoffs and our game against Eads was a lot of fun and was a very hard fought and close game, but we lost with just seconds to spare. Even though we lost, it was the furthest Briggsdales’ football team has gone in many years. I was so happy that I got to be a part of the team.

This year I am also the 2013-2014 District 17 FFA Treasurer and I am so happy to be able to represent such a great FFA district! This year I have been very involved with the Briggsdale FFA program and I am striving to receive first place for my entrepreneurship proficiency application in the equine science area. I have been working on my proficiency since freshmen year and really hope to get state this year. Also as part of the Career Development Experience I am participating once more on the Briggsdale Horse Judging team. Last year I got second overall at state and received a scholarship of $500.00 to CSU, and I hope that this year I can receive first place both individually and as a team with Allie Miller and Halley Moore. We are working hard so we will put all of it to a test when district judging and state come around.

But as the school year wraps up I have one last memory to enjoy and it will be going on my senior trip with the class of 2013 to Orlando, Florida. Then when we get back from our week of fun and vacation we will graduate and then it’s fair time! I am so excited for this years fair. I will not only be showing my horses but I will also participate in showing a market sheep. I have shown my horses for nine years now in the Weld County Fair, and each year is a new experience. This year I will be showing my six year old paint mare who I had received reserve and grand champion on in the green horse division in 2010 and 2011, and I hope to receive first in the western division with her this year. I will also be showing two other horses and I hope to win showmanship and go to the Round Robin. I am a very busy horse person during the summer; I am usually at horse shows every weekend. I show in a lot of different disciplines such as show jumping, dressage, barrel racing, pole bending, reining, western and english pleasure and many more. I don’t know what I would do without horses in my life, they are so important to me and a huge part of my life.

I can not wait to represent Weld County in everything I do, I never thought that I would become the Weld County Fair Queen but I am and I am so glad to have been awarded this position. I can’t wait for all the fun events that I will be doing with my Princess Taylor Starks, we have already do so many fun things. I would also like to take this time to thank all of our sponsors that have helped us have such a great experience. A special thanks to Greeley Hat Works who is a big help and has given us each a really beautiful hat. I don’t know what Taylor and I would do with out the shade.

Come and see Taylor and myself at the 2013 Weld County Fair! We can’t wait to see all of our friends and can’t wait to make some new ones.

July 24 - July 28, 2013 • WELD COUNTY FAIR 27

www.weldcountyfair.com

Hi, my name is Taylor Starks and I am the 2013 Weld County Fair Princess. I am 13 years old and a seventh grader at Platte Valley Middle School. My parents are Jamin and Shannon Starks and I also have a brother who’s name is Randy Starks.

I am in Galeton 4-H club .I have been in 4-H for five years now, and will be in it until I am too old to be a member. I show goats, pigs, and I also do the open photography. I have been showing goats for five years, showing pigs for two years, and photography for two years. I absolutely love showing my animals because of the fact that you can build a strong bond between you and your animal. I also think that photography can show a lot about someone because the pictures can show of kindness and pure heartedness.

I also have animals at home, such as five dogs, two sugar gliders (flying squirrels), three barn cats, one large blue and yellow Macaw, over fifteen goats, and three horses. Now, you maybe thinking that’s a lot of animals, but to my family it’s just the right amount. All of my goats are my show goats that we breed to get more goats. The two horses are my rodeo horses whose names are Cinch and Brandy.

PRINCESS Cinch is a beautiful black and white paint quarter horse, and Brandy is a bay (brown) with a star on her forehead, and if you ever go to a parade and see me on Taylor Starks a horse now you will know what horse it is. And the other horse, well, she is just a baby so I’m just training her. She is also a bay with a snip and her name is Abby gales Dancer.

This year for my royal activities we have been to the Stock Show, and we went shopping. We will eventually go to parades and rodeos to show off our county! This year I have had so much fun meeting girls who want to become a rodeo princess when they grow up, it means a lot to me when you are some girls’ roll model. It has been a blast this year and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year! bite!

I really hope I get to see you at the Weld County Fair of 2013! If you see me come and say hello, I won’t

6.

NO exhibits are accepted at the fair that were not pre-entered.

Entries must be clean or they will not be judged.

Where there is no comparison, articles will be judged according to their merit. Like articles may be combined to form a separate class at the discretion of the judge. 1st place is not guaranteed if there is only one in the class. It might not merit a 1 st place in the judges’ opinion.

A red ribbon entry may be considered for reserve champion if the judge ranks it over other blue ribbon winners and the champi on came from the same class. No tie placing will be awarded; placing can be skipped, judges do not have to award all placing when quality doesn’t warrant award. A single exhibitor can win overall champion and overall reserve champion in a department.

Judges’ decisions are final.

Judges can request that an entry be changed to another class if they feel it has been entered in the wrong class and the class it should have been entered in has not already been judged. Otherwise it will be judged in the class it was entered and may only rank a participation ribbon. It will be noted on the back of the tag if it was entered in the wrong class.

Exhibitors may enter one item per class, with the exception of gift packs.

Switching or substituting entries will not be allowed by the exhibitor on check-in day. At the judge’s discretion an exhibit may change classes for the benefit of the exhibit.

All canned products must be exhibited in standard brand name glass jars (no mayonnaise jars, etc.) and canned after the last fair date of the previous year by the person in whose name they are entered. Jars need to include rings and lids. Jars should be clean and rings easily removed.

Important! Please Read this Rule! To be considered for judging, all entries must be canned or dried according to the most recent researched based USDA recommendations for a high altitude area (5,000 ft.). Check with your local Extension Office prior to canning for recent USDA recommendations and adjustments needed for high altitude. In Weld County, call 970-304-6535 for information on how to contact a Master Canner. Canning methods and processing times from Ball, Kerr or other publications are considered secondary to USDA recommendations. Always use USDA processing times

over other sources. BE SURE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN PROCESSING TIMES! See Resources at end of division.

Processes that are unacceptable and unsafe include: open kettle processing, oven canning, inversion sealing, paraffin sealed jellies/jams, pickles, jams and jellies not processed in a boiling water bath canner, freezer jams, water bath canning of low acid products (vegetables require pressure canning), and meat jerky dried from unsafe, uncooked meats precooked before drying. CSU e-coli safe method must be used in jerky exhibits.

Recipes are required for ALL jelled and pickled products or may submit page number of the recipe used from any of the resources listed on the next page under “Resources”.

Recipes are required for ALL jerky products. a. Jelled products MUST include recipe. b. Pickled product entries MUST include the recipe as to ingredients and fermentation method varies the judging standard. Pickled products without recipes will NOT be accepted. c. Jerky exhibits MUST include recipe for e-coli safe methods (pre-heat method prior to drying). d. Recipes MUST be attached to the jar. Not responsible for lost cards if not attached.

All exhibits must be labeled properly. Label must provide the following information: a. Name of product b. Style of pack: hot or raw (cold) c. Date canned d. Processing time, altitude, and pounds of pressure (p.s.i.)

Do not place exhibitor’s name on label/entry. Secure label one inch from the bottom of the jar. Incomplete and incorrect labeling will reduce your score. Unlabeled entries will not be judged.

The Judge may open jars of jellies, jams, preserves, and/or pickles (except gift packs) and may taste (not required).

Canned foods (vegetables and fruits) may be opened in determining the pressure seal quality of the product. If the pressure seal is opened, a warning note will be given. Gift packs will not be opened, but will be judged on product and container combination, color, presentation and variety.

Canned foods will be judged on: a. Pack – full, attractive, yet practical. b. Liquid – covers the top of fruits and vegetables; adequate head space. c. Color- natural color, not faded or unnaturally light. d. Quality of product – distinct, uniform pieces, well prepared, firm. e. Appearance of container – clean, suitable, ring easily removable and clean under ring, clear neat label f. USDA approved safe methods, adjusted for altitude, approved pack, and having acidity for safety.

FOOD PRESERVATION CLASSES LISTED AFTER GUIDELENES FOOD PRESERVATION GUIDELINES: Entering your home preserved food in competition adds excitement as you prepare the foods. Selecting the “best” jar in anticipation of a blue ribbon makes the process fun.

While you cannot predict the quality of your competition or the unique criteria of each judge, there are some steps you can take to increase the chances of earning a blue ribbon. First is to appreciate standards of safety and quality.

Safety is the Primary Consideration You want to use safe preserving procedures so that no one becomes ill. Improper processing methods or times can cause the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness or even death. Not only would this be a problem for fair judges, it could also make your family ill as they consume other jars you have canned.

The judge may open jars of jellies, preserves and pickled products and may taste. Canned vegetables and fruits may be opened in determining the pressure seal of the product. Many judges will open jars to better examine the contents inside the jars — especially when differences among entries are very small.

Make it Safe Follow research tested recipes exactly for processing methods and processing times. Appropriate altitude adjustments must be made.

Use the pressure canner to can any low acid food—that includes meats, soups, and all vegetables except acidified tomatoes and pickled vegetables.

Acidify tomatoes with bottled lemon juice or citric acid before processing either in a boiling water bath or pressure canner.

Process high acid foods in a boiling water bath canner.

Processes that are unacceptable and unsafe include: open kettle processing, oven canning, inversion sealing, paraffin sealing, and meat jerky dried from unsafe meats.

Use two piece lids. Remove the screw band for storage, but put a clean screw band on the jar to bring it to the fair.

Always use standard brand name canning jars in good condition.

Recipes are required for all canned and dried products and must include recipe source.

Label it Smart A complete label provides the judge with information as to how you canned or dried the food. The label must include: ● Name and variety of food ● Method of preparation (canned: type syrup, style of pack; dried: pretreatment used, if any) ● Method of processing (canned: water bath, pressure canner— indicate weighted or dial gauge; dried: oven or dehydrator) ● Processing time, altitude and pounds of pressure (p.s.i.) ● Date canned or dried One Up on the Competition ● Follow exactly the fair book rules for each category. ● Enter items only in established categories. Don’t bring an entry for which no category exists.

www.weldcountyfair.com

● Do not bring an exhibit that has been previously entered in the same event. ● Make sure jars are clean and dry. Sticky or dusty jars and jars with signs of old labels will be quickly eliminated. ● After washing jars, bring jars to the fair with new screw bands attached. Make sure bands are not wet or rusty. (Jars should not be stored with bands at home.) ● Use standard canning jars with two piece lids in standard sizes. ● Avoid decorative jars, padded lids, or fabric covers. ● Use appropriate headspace called for in your recipe directions. ● Check that there is no foreign matter such as stems, seeds, skins in the jar. ● Liquid should cover the solids in the jar.

Items that do not fit this definition, but are traditionally accepted as quilts include the yo-yo and cathedral window techniques. If entry does not meet this requirement, enter it in Home Décor - or Clothing.

Definition of an Art Quilt – The Studio Art Quilt Association & Nancy Crow, renown Quilt Artist, defines an art quilt as a contemporary artwork exploring and expressing aesthetic concerns common to the whole range of visual arts: painting, printmaking, photography, graphic design, assemblage and sculpture, which retains, through materials or technique, a clear relationship to the folk art quilt form which it descends.

Must be an original – no patterns.

www.weldcountyfair.com

Quilt Hanging Sleeve Directions:

1. Measure the width of the quilt from binding seam to binding seam along the edge where the hanging sleeve will be attached. Add 2” to that measurement. This will be your cut length. You can use a plain muslin fabric or, if you want the sleeve to be unnoticed, use the same fabric as the backing.

Hanging sleeves are not judged.

2. The cut width is 9 inches. The finished width should be 4” to fit over the hanging pipes in the 4H building.

3. Fold in 1” on both ends of the length of the sleeve. Fold under ½” and stitch down.

Champion and Reserve Champion Group Quilt selected from classes 80-90.

4. Fold in raw edges, right side facing out, until they meet in the center. Press edges.

Mount items securely so they won’t fall off. Tape will not work.  You have only three minutes for the message to be read; be concise.  Tell your story with visuals.  Avoid putting too much in the exhibit. It should never have a crowded look.  Dark lettering on a light background is most visible.  Do not use headers or attachments on your display board.

DISPLAYS 1. Display boards are the only board that can be used for 4-H projects. The standardized display board size of 4 ft. x 3 ft. is to be used.

Display Board Guidelines for Fair 4-H Exhibits

Display boards are great ways to share that information, but when viewers walk by, they spend only 60-90 seconds looking at each display board. Make yours stand out by highlighting the main points of your project in a fun, interesting way.

Follow these guidelines to create a display board for the fair.

TEXT Make sure that all the text on your display is easy to read. Use a large font for the title, and smaller fonts for the headings and body text.

SHAPE Design your exhibit so information fits on the display.

Remember, you have 1 large surface, and 2 smaller side wings.

Text must be readable from 3-5 feet away.

Use large bold letters.

Dark letters on a light background works best.

SPACE Your display should only discuss one main topic. This will help it look neat and un-crowded.

ATTACHMENTS When attaching pictures or objects to your board make sure they are secure. Use glue for pictures and paper, and consider wires, zip ties or staples to attach bulkier items.

SIZE Display boards for the state fair must measure 4 ft. wide x 3 ft. tall. They should be made of lightweight cardboard, but not poster board. Pre-cut boards are available at most craft and shopping centers.

Do not attach items that are so heavy that your board can’t stand.

No part of your display may extend beyond these boundaries.

DISPLAY BOOKS Your e-record book should accompany your board. You may use 3-ring binders or other notebook that will keep the pages securely inside.

You may not use slider-type binders.

Please place a label with the following information in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover: Club Name, Name, 4-H Age, Project Area, and Class (See example)

DISPLAYS 1. Display boards are the only board that can be used for 4-H projects and must meet the specifications.

Display Board Guidelines for Fair 4-H Exhibits Display boards are great ways to share that information, but when viewers walk by, they spend only 60-90 seconds looking at each display board. Make yours stand out by highlighting the main points of your project in a fun, interesting way.

Follow these guidelines to create a display board for the fair.

SHAPE Design your exhibit so information fits on the display.

Remember, you have 1 large surface, and 2 smaller side wings.

TEXT Make sure that all the text on your display is easy to read. Use a large font for the title, and smaller fonts for the headings and body text.

Text must be readable from 3-5 feet away. Use large bold letters. Dark letters on a light background works best.

SPACE Your display should only discuss one main topic. This will help it look neat and uncrowded.

ATTACHMENTS When attaching pictures or objects to your board make sure they are secure. Use glue for pictures and paper, and consider wires, zip ties or staples to attach bulkier items.

Do not attach items that are so heavy that your board can’t stand.

SIZE Display boards for the state fair must measure 4 ft. wide x 3 ft. tall. They should be made of lightweight cardboard, but not poster board. Pre-cut boards are available at most craft and shopping centers.

No part of your display may extend beyond these boundaries.

DISPLAY BOOKS Your e-record book should accompany your board. You may use 3-ring binders or other notebook that will keep the pages securely inside.

You may not use slider-type binders.

Please place a label with the following information in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover: Club Name, Name, 4-H Age, Project Area, and Class (See example)

Sample Label Club Name Jane Doe 4-H Age 15 Vet Science Class 007

CAKE DECORATING Note: Please read 4-H Project Exhibit Rules listed in Family Consumer Science Division.

Project Exhibit Rules 1. Cake should be placed on a very firm, disposable surface, cut parallel to the shape of the cake and must be 1 ½ “on each side from the base of the border, not the cake. The surface should be covered. Freezer paper is not advised because it absorbs grease. The cake board must be covered with a food safe material –such as aluminum foil. If you use a decorative or gift wrap paper or fabric, it must be covered in food quality plastic wrap.

2. It is recommended that members learn the basic cake decorating skills included in Units 1-3 before taking any of the more advanced units. Youth may then select the unit which includes the skills they wish to learn. Units 4-6 do not have to be taken in order as numbered and are for Jr., Int. and Seniors. Units 7-9 do not have to be taken in order as numbered and for Intermediates and Seniors. Units 10-12 are for Senior members only.

3. Real cakes are required for Units 1-6. Cake forms are preferred for Units 7-10, as they hold up better under state fair conditions.

4. Lower Units (1-3) in Cake Decorating should not use Royal Icing or Rolled Fondant as the base frosting.

Fondant may be used only for decorations on cakes in Unit 1.

5. Exhibit requiring over 2’x2’ exhibit area must be checked with the superintendent.

6. Cakes will not be cut for judging.

7. Real cakes are required for all four required cakes and cupcake batter in units 1-6. At least 2 of the cakes need to be real in Units 7-10. Also for Unit 8, 3 of the 5 cakes are required to be totally covered with fondant.

8. Unit 11 is molds and three molds are required plus the exhibit mold for a total of 4.

9. Unit 12—75 percent of the judging will be on the notebook.

10. All cakes require a bottom border.

Section E – Swine/Ruminant Packer Affidavit As a youth livestock producer, I understand that I have an obligation to be a responsible producer and that all market animals will enter the food chain and become edible food products for the consuming public. This subjects every exhibit animal to all state and federal regulations involving proper drug usage and all Food & Drug Administration, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Food Safety Inspection Service, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

We, the undersigned, certify that we have read, understand and will abide by all rules and regulations of the Weld County Fair. We agree to the condition that these exhibit animals (identified on this form) may be screened for violative residues and foreign substances. Also, as a condition of entry, exhibitor agrees to a background check for any past disqualifications from other livestock shows.

We certify that these exhibit animals have not received drugs that are not in compliance with label indications or, if applicable, the requirements of the regulations codifying the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic act (under the direction of a valid Veterinary/Client/Patient relationship).

We certify that all animals presented for slaughter have been handled in a manner to prevent a pharmaceutical or agricultural chemical residue violation. Label dosages, route of administration and withdrawal times have been followed, and only approved FDA pharmaceutical compounds have been used for treatment. Any exception to the previous statement has been administrated under a recognized veterinarian-client-patient relationship and proper precautions taken for off-label use. Agricultural chemicals used for herd health management and production of feedstuffs have also been used in compliance with label directions and withdrawals.

If violations are detected, appropriate state and federal authorities will be notified, and regulatory action can be expected. Also exhibitors will be subjected to penalties as determined by show management.

That, all animals are handled humanely according FSIS guidelines. (Directive 6900.1, 6900.2; 9CFR 313 and Notices 17-08 and 16-08) We further certify the information provided below is correct and accurate and that we have read and understand these regulations and may be relied upon by any person or entity accepting these animals for harvest.

Ruminant livestock (beef, sheep, goats) exhibitors We further certify that ruminant animals presented to the Weld County Fair Board for slaughter have been handled in accordance to meeting Food and Drug Administration’s ban of feeding identified mammalian derived protein materials to ruminant animals (21 CFR Part 589). Requirements for establishments and individuals that are responsible for feeding ruminant animals shall entail maintaining copies of purchase invoices and labeling for all feeds containing mammalian derived protein products received for a minimum of one (1) year, and making copies available for inspection and copying by the Food and Drug Administration, if necessary.

That, all animals imported from Mexico and Canada are delivered to Weld County Fair Board from this feedlot were legally imported and have resided in the U.S. for at least 100 days prior to being offered for slaughter.

Swine exhibitors We have completed the Treatment Records information on this form for any injectable, water, or feed medication, pesticide or other substance that has been administered to exhibit animals. Use of these products may require additional time to meet legal withdrawal limits before harvest. “We certify that we have reviewed the treatment and feed medication records for all exhibits swine and they meet or exceed the suggested withdrawal periods for Japan Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) of pharmaceutical products listed on the National Pork Board web site.” Website: http://www.pork.org/Producers/JapanMRL.aspx We certify these hogs did not originate from a herd under quarantine and there has not been evidence of swine dysentery (Brachyspira hyodysenteriae) in this herd during the past twelve months.

We certify Premise ID number(s) provided is the location(s) the exhibit swine were housed prior to arriving at the show and the exhibitor has an active/current FSQA or PQA Plus certification.

DISPLAY 1.

Display boards are the only board that can be used for 4-H projects.

Display Board Guidelines for Fair 4-H Exhibits

Display boards are great ways to share that information, but when viewers walk by, they spend only 60-90 seconds looking at each display board. Make yours stand out by highlighting the main points of your project in a fun, interesting way.

Follow these guidelines to create a display board for the fair.

SHAPE Design your exhibit so information fits on the display.

Remember, you have 1 large surface, and 2 smaller side wings.

TEXT Make sure that all the text on your display is easy to read. Use a large font for the title, and smaller fonts for the headings and body text.

Text must be readable from 3-5 feet away. Use large bold letters. Dark letters on a light background works best.

SPACE Your display should only discuss one main topic.

This will help it look neat and uncrowded.

ATTACHMENTS When attaching pictures or objects to your board make sure they are secure.

Use glue for pictures and paper, and consider wires, zip ties or staples to attach bulkier items.

Do not attach items that are so heavy that your board can’t stand.

SIZE Display boards for the state fair must measure 4 ft. wide x 3 ft. tall. They should be made of lightweight cardboard, but not poster board. Pre-cut boards are available at most craft and shopping centers.

No part of your display may extend beyond these boundaries.

DISPLAY BOOKS Your e-record book should accompany your board. You may use 3-ring binders or other notebook that will keep the pages securely inside.

You may not use slider-type binders.

Please place a label with the following information in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover: Club Name, Name, 4-H Age, Project Area, and Class (See example)

IX. HEALTH REGULATIONS

Given the significant numbers of livestock and other animals commingling at the Weld County Fair, one of Colorado’s larger fairs and the Weld County Fair board’s desire, interest and responsibility to minimize animal health issues as much as possible before, during and after the fair, the board has instituted some regulations not previously in place for all animals. These requirements are by no means meant to be restrictive to participants but rather, they are hopefully and ultimately protective and beneficial to all by lessening chances of exposure and spread of diseases, particularly those that are not clinically apparent. It’s common knowledge that the spread of disease is increased significantly when commingling at a venue such as a fair, hence the regulation changes.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS---ALL ANIMALS AND POULTRY All livestock or animals entered in ANY OPEN CLASS or presented for exhibit or display in any manner such as re-enactment participation, horse drawn vehicle demonstration, llama or alpaca display, etc. MUST be accompanied by an official certificate of veterinary inspection (health certificate) issued by an accredited veterinarian within ten days of entry and said certificate along with 1 photo copy presented to appropriate Fair personnel at arrival. This includes any animal entered in both a 4-H or FFA class and also an open class.

All 4-H or FFA animal and poultry show entrants will be inspected upon arrival and prior to unloading as the case may be, prior to being admitted to the Fair exhibit area by a Weld County Fair designated veterinarian(s) or personnel under direct veterinary supervision. Only

July 24 - July 28, 2013 • WELD COUNTY FAIR 141

www.weldcountyfair.com

if necessary to facilitate a complete and sound exam, the animal may be off loaded at the discretion of the veterinarian. A ny relevant health documents should be presented to the veterinarian at the time of arrival inspection. Examples would be rabies certificate on dogs or goat registration documentation.

NOTE: Any 4-H or FFA open show entrant will be required to go through the veterinary inspection procedure similar to all non-open show entrants regardless of other requirements met on entry previously for the open show.

In addition, a Fair veterinarian will monitor the general health of the animals daily during the fair.

Any livestock originating from a premise under quarantine for any disease are barred from entry.

An animal exhibiting any acute sign(s) of an infectious or contagious disease or external parasitism will not be allowed entry. Symptoms of ringworm will be cause for barring unless the veterinary inspection determines the case to be in an inactive state based on lesion stage, symptom duration and/or prior treatment with a generally accepted fungicide.

Should any animal other than market animals be sold by private treaty or undergo some other change of ownership in some manner, parties involved should be aware of potential state or federal requirements for certain health testing as well as protective assurances for which they and not the Weld County Fair are responsible.

Testing for illicit and illegal drugs and medications will be at the discretion of the Fair Board with the samples collected and methodology of testing to be determined by the fair board.

Any state or federal regulations that might arise at a time that would make them relevant to any fair activities will take precedent over Weld County Fair regulations.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: SHEEP AND GOATS

All sheep and goats entering the Weld County Fair must have an official USDA Scrapie Eradication Program Identification tag.

A legible registration tattoo or microchip(EID) in sexually intact goats regardless of age, when accompanied by a registration paper or certification with the registration tattoo recorded on the certificate from a goat breed association is acceptable rather than a scrapie tag.

Illegible tattoos or non-readable microchips (EID) must be replaced with a USDA scrapie tag.

SWINE

Swine entered must originate from herds not under quarantine with Pseudorabies.

No test is required for swine originating from a pseudorabies free status state.

POULTRY—RABBITS

All animals shall appear clinically normal with no sign of illness or external parasitism.

CATTLE

No testing for Trichomoniasis on breeding age, test eligible bulls will be required so long as no breeding activity occurs at the Weld County Fair. Owners should take responsibility and be aware of any Trichomoniasis regulations as a result of a change of ownership and that the Weld County Fair is not responsible for any such activity.

LLAMAS-ALPACAS

All llamas and alpacas entered in open shows or for display only, must be accompanied by a valid health certificate issued by an accredited veterinarian within ten days of the show.

BISON AND YAK

All bison or yak entered in open shows or for display only, must be accompanied by a valid health certificate issued by an ac credited veterinarian within ten days of the show.

HORSES

All horses entered in open shows must be accompanied by a valid health certificate issued by an accredited veterinarian within ten days of the show.

X. RELEASE A.

Release time for all livestock will be as published in the Weld County Fair Book. Early release of market livestock will be offered to all exhibitors between 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on the day of that species show when the following conditions have been met.

1. There will be a $100.00 CASH deposit per animal paid to the Fair Office and to be refunded upon a written request and proof that the animal was weighed in at the Colorado State Fair. The Fair Office will issue a receipt and that receipt must be given to the Superintendent. If the animal does not weigh in at the Colorado State Fair, the deposit will be donated to the Weld County Fair Scholarship Fund.

2. All pens will be cleaned prior to the exhibitor leaving the Weld County Fair to the satisfaction of the Superintendent.

3. All animal ear tag ID’s will be recorded and matched at the Colorado State Fair.

4. Exhibitor must have a written release from Superintendent before leaving the Weld County Fairgrounds.

XI. SUBSTITUTION

In the event a member’s project animal dies or is injured, substitutions are allowed only with animals that were previously identified by the member during each species identification period.

ATTENTION LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS – VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is requiring that all users of the wash racks MUST have a nozzle on their hose to shut off the water when not in use. You can no longer use the wash rack with the open end of the hose. Any type of nozzle that will stop the flow of water when you are not applying water to your animal is satisfactory. Be sure to get a nozzle and put it in your show box. Thank you for your cooperation.

Breeding Beef “Cattle For Kids” Special Awards ELIGIBILITY AND RULES FOR THE “CATTLE FOR KIDS” PROGRAMS – The Cattle For Kids committee reserves the right to review or change any of these rules on an annual basis before the new Fair Book is printed.

Entry forms for these two “Special Awards” programs can be found on page in the yellow section of this Fair Book and Online at www.weldcountyfair.com. Please send these completed forms with your Breeding Beef entry.

A. $1,500 Heifer Purchase award: a drawing to award, to eligible exhibitors, $1,500 to use toward purchase of a registered heifer.

1. All 4-H or FFA members that show a breeding beef animal at the 2013 Weld County Fair and who will be eligible to show at the 2014 Weld County Fair can participate in the drawing, except previous winners of this award.

2. The drawing will be held at the Weld County Fair Awards Program.

3. All eligible participants (one entry per exhibitor) will have their name put “in the hat” and the name(s) drawn will be the winner(s) of the award.

4. The award money is intended for purchase of a breeding beef prospect that meets the following conditions: a. The animal must be a heifer prospect that is of the appropriate age to be shown at the next Weld County Fair. (i.e. a heifer calf prospect) b. The animal must be a registered heifer of any breed of beef cattle. Commercial or “non-papered” cattle will not qualify for use of this award. c. The animal must be purchased from a breeder in Weld County, but not from the family of the award recipient.

5. A check for the award money will be payable to the seller of the animal – not to the winning exhibitor. The $1,500 does not have to be the maximum amount spent for a heifer. The winner may choose to add some of his/her own money toward the purchase of a heifer. Documentation of the registration (or eligibility) of the heifer to be purchased must be provided to the “Cattle For Kids” committee before a check will be issued.

6. The winning exhibitor has until December 1, 2013 to identify the purchased heifer and the seller who is to receive the $1,500.

7. If the award is not redeemed by December 1, 2013 a second winner will be chosen and that person will have until February 20, 2014 to identify the purchased heifer and the seller who is to receive the $1,500.

8. The winning exhibitor must enter and show the purchased animal at the 2014 Weld County Fair. For 4-H members, the deadline for enrolling a 4-H project is April 30 each year.

9. A 4-H or FFA exhibitor who is showing in his or her last year of eligibility to show at the Weld County Fair will not be able to participate in the drawing. Each exhibitor will be asked to fill out a form (card) verifying that he or she is eligible to show at the next Weld County Fair and that they wish to participate in the drawing. The final pool of names to be in the drawing will be reviewed by at least one Cattle For Kids committee member and an appropriate Extension Service staff member.

10. The Cattle For Kids committee reserves the right to do the following: a. If the winning exhibitor elects to not purchase an eligible heifer, elects to not show at the next Weld County Fair and/or does not purchase an eligible heifer by the designated deadline the Cattle For Kids Committee may randomly select another name from the original name pool. b. If, for any reason, the winner or back-up winner does not redeem the $1,500 for purchase of an eligible heifer, then Cattle For Kids reserves the right to put the money back into the CFK account for use in the future.

B. $100 Cow/Calf Incentive award: 1. Cattle For Kids will award $100 to an exhibitor the first time a previously shown (at Weld County Fair) female is brought back to a future Fair as the cow in a cow/calf pair.

2. An exhibitor may enter a female in this program while showing her at the Fair by filing, with Fair staff, the information which will permanently identify this female. That information will be kept on record so the female can be identified to receive the $100 award when she comes back the first time, to a future Fair as the cow in a cow/calf pair. (It does not have to be the first year after she was entered in the program).

3. To receive the $100 award the cow must be owned and shown by the same exhibitor that owned and showed her when s he was entered in the program.

4. A heifer calf initially shown as part of a cow/calf pair will be eligible for the $100 award if she returns to a later Fair as the cow of a cow/calf pair if the required identification documentation is provided (as with other heifers).

5. A cow shown as part of a cow/calf pair that was not previously entered in the program, may be entered and be eligible to receive the $100 award when she is brought back to the Fair in a future year with another calf at side.

6. It will be the responsibility of the exhibitor to provide documentation of a female’s permanent identification, as follows, when she is entered in the Cow/Calf Incentive program.

For registered females: 1. A copy of the female’s registration papers MUST accompany your entry form.

2. A legible tattoo as indicated on the registration papers.

For commercial females: 1. At least a two digit (preferably 3 digits) tattoo in at least one ear (preferably same tattoo in each ear). Tattoo must be legible; Bangs tattoo does not qualify.

additional class requirements and appropriate attire and tack.

RANCH HORSE INDIVIDUAL COW WORK

A copy of the roping certification is to be on file at the Extension office to perform the roping option in this class This class combines the reining ability, stockmanship and roping ability of the rider with the responsiveness of a well trained cowhorse. Each exhibitor will perform individually and will be judged on horsemanship, stockmanship and roping skills. Riders must use caution in working a cow to minimize the chance of the cow being hurt. Each rider will be allowed a maximum of 3 minutes to complete this class.

The rider begins their go by calling for a cow to be turned into the arena. Fence work has two parts: boxing and fencing the cow. Rope must be firmly attached to the front of the saddle in a traditional safe manner.

1. Boxing: When the cow is first turned into the arena, the rider must "box" or hold the cow at the prescribed end of the arena, not allowing her to leave. When the rider feels that his/her horse has shown the ability to hold the cow on that end, the rider then allows the cow to head down the fence.

2. Fencing: The rider must turn the cow once each way. The rider should make both turns on the same fence or may be penalized. There will be a center marker at the midpoint of the fence on the long side of the arena. The cow must pass this center marker before being turned back for the first time.

After passing the center marker again, the cow is turned back for the second time. When going down the fence, the rider should turn the cow back before reaching the far end of the arena. This shows that the horse has the speed to catch the cow and the ability to turn the cow back.

After the rider has turned the cow at least once each way of the fence, the rider must take down his/her rope, build a loop, track and rate the cow, rope her and dally, releasing the breakaway honda. The rider is allowed two throws. The judge will score the rider on how well the rope is handled, the manner in which the cow is rated, throws and stops. In order for a catch to be legal, the loop must pass over the cow's head. Any catch that holds after the cow looks through the loop is a legal catch. It is not necessary that the roper catch for the exhibitor to receive a score for the roping portion. However, if there is no catch, a five-point penalty will be taken from the roping score accumulated prior to the attempt to catch. Riders must use a breakaway honda and a 1 ½ dally, if they catch they must stop or slow their horse, keeping the horse facing the cow to release the breakaway honda. If the rider drops the rope, a major penalty will be assessed. The judge may blow the whistle, at any time, to terminate the cow work. The exhibitor should then continue with the roping segment of the class.

If the contestant fails to attempt any part of the class, the rider will receive a zero for the part of the class that was not attempted. The judge will whistle the rider off the cow if, the judge feels that the cow is being run too fast or is being abused. The judge will then assess a zero score for that portion of the event. The Judge may blow a whistle at any time to stop the contestant's run if there is a safety concern. Rider's lack of control, equipment failure, or excessively wild cattle would be valid reasons to stop a run.

A run that is stopped for safety concerns will receive a no score. The judge, at his discretion, may award a rider a new cow based on the following: 1. The cow will not or cannot run 2. The cow will not leave the herd or the end of the arena 3. The cow is blind or will not yield to the horse 4. The cow leaves the arena When working a cow, the rider may hold onto the cantle or the horn of the saddle and shall not be penalized for doing so.

The head loop will be removed and placed on both front feet and the heel loop will be placed on both hind feet by the helpers.

When the animal is secured and all riders mounted the contestant will signal the release of the animal. The contestant is responsible for either the head or heel catch.

The contestant catch must be made in the three minute time limit. The helper’s job will be to hold the herd, help set up the animal for the catch, and to follow instruction of the contestant in either heading, heeling, or ground work.

Scoring will be based on a score of 70 with plus or minus points up to five in each of 7 criteria; Horsemanship: 1 Control 2 Horse demeanor 3 Stockmanship Points will be awarded for control of the horse. The ranch roping horse should be quiet and responsive allowing the rider to take their shots and be accepting to the rope. The rider and horse should be quiet in the herd and show a level of stockmanship in cattle handling. No loping is allowed by the contestant horse. If the horse lopes a 10 point penalty will be accessed unless by judge’s opinion it is for an issue of safety.

Rabbit Herdsman

Properly maintaining an exhibit is an important part of animal care.

Just as humans prefer living in well kept and cared for homes, animals as well prefer to live in clean areas, neatly arranged, with proper food and fresh water. It is also important that exhibits add to the appeal of the Fair and general public and that exhibitor’s show courtesy and be helpful to fair-goers whenever possible. The award for Herdsman is included to provide incentive for the best possible presentation of the Rabbit exhibit, good sportsmanship, and helpfulness to the public as well as fellow exhibitors.

The top three youth will be awarded for keeping their rabbits cages the cleanest, fed & watered by 9:00 a.m. & 5:00 p.m., helping keep isles free of trash and equipment and sweep shavings from the aisles.

Eligibility: All goats must be registered in the ABGA herd book by the date of the show. Original registration certificates are required, except that a copy of a registration application, stamped with the date received by the association, can be accepted for kids less than 3 months of age. Animals over the age of 3 months must have the original registration certificate in hand at time of show Purpose: The main focus of ABGA Sanctioned Shows is the genetic improvement of the Boer breed and promotion of the goat industry.

Entries: Any show receiving ABGA sanctioning shall be open to all ABGA registered Boer goats. Show representatives may use their discretion and have the right to ban an individual if they consider it necessary for the good of the show.

There is no limit on the number of animals that can be entered in a class by an exhibitor. When the original registration certificates are presented at check-in, registered name, ABGA registration number and tattoos of each animal must be recorded so that they may be displayed on the results that are turned into the ABGA office.

Ennobled Herd Book Points: Only goats entered under their ABGA registration number and presenting their ABGA Certificate of Registration will be eligible to earn points for their actual placing in the show as described in the ABGA Criteria for Ennoblement of a Boer Goat.

Tattoos: All goats must have legible tattoos consistent with the registration certificate or the animal will be disqualified.

If an animal is disqualified due to illegible or inconsistent tattoos, all lower placing animals will be moved up in placement. Point winners from each class must have their tattoos read and recorded. The judge will be responsible for ensuring that tattoos are read and properly recorded. The show secretary will be responsible for recording the tattoos and informing the judge as to which point-eligible goats will need to be checked.

Computing Ages: Birth dates, as listed on the registration certificate, will be used in determining class divisions. In order to calculate the class, take the show date and count back to the birth date to determine the age and the class for each animal.

Classes: All animals must be registered Purebred, Fullblood, or Percentage blood Boer goats. Bucks 96.86% and lower are not eligible to be shown. Progeny of fresh does will not be allowed in the ring with their dam. At the discretion of the judge and the superintendent, the animals may be let loose in the ring as a function of judging. The Champion and Reserve Champion classes will be chosen from the first and second place animals in that division of the show. Divisions are defined as follows: Percentage Does: 50% to 88% Fullblood/Purebred Does: 93.75% and higher Fullblood/Purebred Bucks: 96.87% and higher Exhibitor Responsibilities: No animal bracing is allowed at ABGA Sanctioned Shows. Goats’ front legs must be on the ground during judging. Front feet must remain on the arena floor during Judge’s evaluation. Exhibitors may lift feet off the ground for a period not to exceed 10 seconds when posing the goat. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to refrain from presenting any animal owned by the presiding judge within 90 days prior to the show date.
