2015 Klamath County Fair Premium Book

****A special award is given by the ‘Soup Group” to the individual who is awarded the most blue ribbons in the Clothing and Textile Departments. It is understood that the act of entering an exhibit or contest at the Klamath County Fair is asking the Fair Management to secure a qualified judge to place a judgment on the exhibit or performance. It is therefore courteous to gracefully accept the decision of the judge, realizing that it may be in conflict with your set of standards. Every reasonable effort will be made to secure highly qualified and conscientious judges. If you feel you are not willing to accept the judgment, please write "exhibit only" on your entry. The decision of the judge is final. Any concerns should be directed to the Fair Office. If an entry does not merit first prize, it will not be awarded, even though there is but one entry in that Class. Placement will be left to the judge's discretion. Premiums and ribbons will be given only for items listed. Other exhibits may be made for display only. All premiums for Open Fair will be paid at the Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall #2 (Blue Building) entrance on Tuesday, August 18, 2015 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. All premium checks are subject to cancellation 60 days after issue. In the event that there are insufficient funds to pay the premiums in full, due to causes beyond the control of the management, the Fair Board reserves the right to pay proportionately with funds available. "Any Other" Rule: Items entered in "Any other" classes will be disqualified by the judge if found to be similar in any way to those entered in other classes or if they are entered incorrectly. This rule has been added to prevent exhibitors from "doubling" up items in different classes. All exhibits, upon entering the grounds, become subject to the control of Fair Management. The Management reserves the right to reject any exhibit if it is objectionable in any way. No exhibitor may remove their exhibits until Tuesday August 18, 2015 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. If any item is removed before the designated time frame, the premium and/or award will be forfeited. The Fair Board will see to the safety of the exhibits, but the owners must take the risk of exhibiting them. Should an exhibit, or portion thereof, be stolen or lost the Management will give assistance toward recovery of same, but will not be liable to make any payment for the value thereof. Any item not picked up by the end of August will be considered abandoned. General supervision of the grounds and entire exhibit, police regulations and entrance gates are vested in the Fair Board directors. The Fair Board reserves the final and absolute right to alter, interpret, or change these rules and regulations as may become necessary. Also, to arbitrarily settle and determine all matters, questions or differences in regard thereto or otherwise arising out of or connected with or incidentally to the Fair. No soliciting, asking for donations, selling raffles, distributing or hanging advertising materials, or any such activities will be allowed on Fairgrounds, except with special permission from Management. Cars parked in unauthorized areas and fire lanes will be towed away at the owner's expense.

In addition, any exhibitor who is a minor found in possession of or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or caught vandalizing will be subject to immediate expulsion from the Fair. Exemption from liability: Every person who is subject to these Rules herewith, exempts and discharges Klamath County, the Klamath County Commissioners, the Klamath County Fair Board, the Klamath County Fair Management, its agents and employees, from liability for any loss, damage or injury to himself or to his/her property, whether caused by said management, its agents, or employees or by any other cause.

ADULT VOLUNTEER EXPECTATIONS

The purpose of the Adult Volunteer 4-H Agreement is to help ensure the safety and well-being of all Oregon State University Extension 4-H program participants. The opportunity to represent the OSU Extension Service and work with 4-H youth is a privileged role to be held by those who are willing to agree to behaviors that fulfill this trust. As a volunteer in the OSU 4-H Youth Development Program, I agree to: 1. Focus on the educational mission of the land grant university, including the equal opportunity and anti-discrimination policies.

1. Animal Science exhibitors are required to participate in showmanship contests 2. 3.

4. 5. 6. 7.

relating to their exhibits. Animals exhibited in showmanship class must also be shown in a breed or quality class by the same exhibitor. 4-H and FFA exhibitors will show in separate showmanship classes. Exhibitors must show in both 4-H and FFA showmanship classes if they are exhibiting animals in both programs. The purpose of showmanship is to teach courtesy, good grooming, poise and confidence; and how to fit, train and handle animals. Judging will be based on: • Exhibitor: clean, neat, courteous, attentive, confident. • The animal: condition & grooming (clean, good condition for breeding or market, feet trimmed, properly groomed). • Showing the animal: ability to show the animal to its advantage and move the animal as directed by the judge. Any animal shown must be entered in the exhibitor’s record book. Showmanship will be judged using the American system. Any Junior 4-H Member who has not previously competed in any livestock showmanship class may enter a first-year 4-H showmanship class, if offered for that species. FFA members who are showing species that they have never shown before January 1 of the current year may enter the novice showmanship class for that species. All others must enter the advanced class.

Round Robin Showmanship Contest

1. Contestants are the overall Grand Champion showman from each species

2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

participating (both 4-H & FFA). The overall goat contestant will be the overall showman chosen from a separate contest between the pygmy goat champion showman, the dairy goat champion showman and the meat goat champion showman. If the overall Grand Champion showman is unable to participate, the opportunity passes to the overall Reserve Grand Champion showman from that species. Exhibitors may only participate in one Round Robin contest. If eligible for two they must designate which contest they will participate in immediately after showmanship championships. There will be two separate 4-H/FFA Round Robin contests, one for small animals and one for large animals. All 4-H contestants will compete against each other. All FFA contestants will compete against each other. Contestants will show each species that is represented in their contest. Animals used in the contests will be selected by the superintendents. Contestants will not show their own animal.

Herdsmanship

1. Herdsmanship is the way members exhibit their animals to the public. The

chapters and clubs will be judged as a spectator would view the display. Clubs/ Chapters must have a clearly marked area. 2. Herdsmanship contests encourage members to be courteous to the public, maintain their areas in an orderly manner, and to take proper care of their animals. 3. A maximum of 100 herdsmanship points can be earned based on three categories and criteria. MEMBERS (40 pts max)-should be neat, clean, and suitably dressed; should be courteous, cooperative, friendly and have a positive attitude; all work should be done by the members; stall cards and decorations should be done by the members and be neat and orderly. ANIMALS (30 pts max) should be clean and comfortable; regularly fed and watered; their feed and water dishes must be clean and suitable; animals are securely and safely tied, penned, or stalled. Horses must be unsaddled in their stalls. Sheep should not have blankets on breeding stock after 5pm on Friday. BARN (30 pts max)should be clean and orderly; alleys, stalls, and pens are cleaned regularly and well bedded; the feed and equipment is securely and safely stored. 4. Awards will be made in the following categories: 4-H Dog, Swine, Horse, Beef/ Dairy Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Poultry/Rabbits/Cavies and Best FFA Chapter.

2015 Klamath County Fair Premium Book

Health Requirements

1. If, in the opinion of the veterinarians at the show, there appears to be an unhealthy animal, or any animal acquires any disease at the show, the administration is authorized to remove that animal(s) from the premises, at any time. 2. If the veterinarians at the show deem a test on any animal seems necessary, to protect other animals, such measures will be taken as necessary at the expense of the exhibitor. 3. Any exhibitor, 4-H staff, leader or superintendent who suspects that another exhibitor has administered internally or externally, either before or during the fair, any medication not approved for use in food animals, may request the fair administration to have the animal tested (blood, urine, saliva, etc.) for presence of the drug, upon payment of $200 to the fair administration. If the animal’s tests are positive, the $200 will be returned to the exhibitor requesting testing, and the owner will be held responsible for testing costs. Presence of such medication or drug in a food animal participating in the fair, in addition to its disqualification by the fair administration, will be grounds for the Fairboard to bar the exhibitor from participating in future fairs. The exhibitor is responsible for an animal's condition whether or not he/she had actual knowledge of the presence of a forbidden drug, directly participated in the administration thereof, innocently miscalculated its retention time in the animal's system, or for any other reason if its presence is established. Every exhibitor shall, upon request of the fair management or 4-H staff, permit a specimen of urine, saliva, blood or other such substance to be taken for testing. Refusal to comply with such request shall constitute grounds for immediate disqualification of the animal from participating in the fair. The presence of a forbidden drug or medication shall be taken as primary evidence that such substance has been administered to the animal.

KLAMATH COUNTY FAIR DISCLAIMER

If drug or other chemical residues are found in the tissue of carcasses of animals sold through any sale connected with the Klamath County Fair Junior Livestock Show, said show will in no way be liable or responsible for condition of carcass or sale price of animal. Exhibitor forfeits all rights to the sale price and shall refund it to the buyer. Exhibitors found to have used fraudulent, illegal or deceptive practices will be barred for life from participation in the livestock shows of the Klamath County Fair. Before administering antibiotics and/or sulfonamides, consult a licensed practicing veterinarian, or label directions for the drug.

4-H/FFA Market Auction Sale Policies

The purpose of the youth livestock auction is to enhance the education of 4-H and FFA youth by focusing on marketing at proper weight, quality grade, and producing a desirable carcass from consumer and producer standpoints. Participation encourages economical and excellent management and production practices. 1. All market species will be sold as “terminal only” sales–all animals will be transported directly to the slaughter house within ten (10) days of the sale. For details regarding slaughter and cut-and-wrap facilities, see the Auction Sale Catalog. 2. All prospective market auction animals must have been owned and be in the possession of the 4-H/FFA members as follows: • Swine - by spring weigh-in • Sheep & Goats – by spring weigh-in date • Beef - January 1 • Rabbit & Poultry - see Division rules 3. Each 4-H/FFA exhibitor is limited to one market animal or pen sale at the Klamath County Fair. 4. All eligible animals must go through the auction including champions. 5. Beef, Sheep, Swine, and Goats must have been weighed and tagged at designated spring weigh-in. Once an animal is tagged there can be no substitution. 6. All market steers, including back up steers, must be weighed at the mandatory weigh-in at one of the designated locations the first week of March. The maximum weight at weigh-in is 1050 pounds, the owner receiving a second chance by the steer gaining at least two pounds per day from the March weigh-in to the fair weigh-in day, or they will not show or sell. 7. All animals must meet the weight requirement outlined in the market class descriptions. 8. Market auction animals are allowed across the scale only one time with official weigh-master. The weight read by the weigh-master is final. For the use of back-up animals, refer to division-specific rules. 9. Market classes will be divided according to weights. 10. Each 4-H/FFA member shall show their own animals in the sale ring. 11. Exhibitors must show in BOTH market and showmanship classes to be eligible for the livestock auction. 12. All sifting by grades will be done by the judges during market classes. Animals that receive white ribbons in the market class will not sell. Market lambs expressing characteristics of the callipyge gene will not be allowed to sell. The judge’s decision is final. 13. Animals that have been previously sold through a finished market animal sale connected with a fair or livestock show are not eligible. 14. For the sale of their animal/pen, exhibitors will be paid by check written to the exhibitor. Checks will be distributed only to the exhibitors’ registered club leaders and only for those exhibitors whose thank-you letters are inspected. The Extension Office will inform club leaders when check are ready to be disbursed. 15. If an animal is condemned at slaughter, the meat will be disposed of. All proceeds from the sale of the animal will be returned to the buyer. 16. Consignment of large market animals will be to the Klamath County Rotary Club and all animals will be assessed a fee of 6.0% of gross selling price, 5.0% assessed by the Rotary Livestock Sale and 1% to be used by project committees as seen fit. 17. All promotion of the sale is done by the Rotary Club of Klamath County, Klamath Basin Sunrise Rotary Club, Klamath County Fairgrounds, and the Klamath County 4-H Leaders Association.

These 9th graders should not bump other senior members and should not result in the county being unable to fill an intermediate team. 8. A 4-H member may only enter a National 4-H Competitive event once. Participating members of a team entry are ineligible to enter the same event again as a part of another team (national rules). Therefore, members who have previously participated in a National Competitive event will not be eligible to participate in future state contests (of the same event). Counties that enter such teams will be disqualified from the contest. 9. Teams representing Oregon, in the appropriate National Competitive event, will be responsible for raising all funds associated with expenses for the National Competition.

Exhibit Judging and Ribbons

1. The Merit Method of judging is used for all exhibits and contests. Entries

3. 4. 5.

will be placed in Blue, Red, and White award groups according to quality: Blue – an exhibit that is excellent and meets the established standards for the class Red – an exhibit that is good but has room for improvement White – an exhibit that meets the requirements of the class but shows need for considerable improvement Reserve Champion, Champion, and Medallions will be selected in each class only when the judge deems there are entries that meet those standards. See the animal science rules for specific animal science championships. See the horse rules for medallion classes. Reserve Champion – a superior exhibit that exceeds the top established standards Champion – an outstanding exhibit that far exceeds the top established standards Medallion – an exceptional exhibit that demonstrates excellence in all facets 3If an exhibit does not meet the requirements of the class, it will receive a display only ribbon. An exhibit can be awarded only one blue, red, or white ribbon. All 4-H judges are approved by the State 4-H Department, and the judges’ decisions are final.

Animal Science Exhibit Requirements

1. Each exhibitor must be selected for State Fair participation through the

county selection process. 2. The same animal may not be entered in more than one class except certain animals may also be shown in the special classes. 3. Only animals officially entered in the 4-H State Fair will be allowed in the 4-H barn with the exception of animals in milk with nursing offspring. 4. No animal may be entered in both 4-H and FFA. In addition, members in both organizations will abide by the current memorandum of cooperative service between the Oregon 4-H and FFA Programs. 5. Senior and Intermediate 4-H members (ages 12-19) may show the same animal in both Open and 4-H Classes. Members must assume responsibility to meet all Open class requirements. 4-H members (intermediates and seniors) will be allowed to show in 4-H approved Junior Livestock Shows at the State Fair. Exhibitors wishing to enter in Open Class must enter by the open class deadline. See Open Class Junior Show Schedule. If there is conflict with the show times, members will be required to show in the 4-H classes. 6. All animals exhibited in 4-H, must be housed, groomed and fitted in the 4-H Livestock area until they are released on Sunday. Sheep, goats and swine may use the wash rack in the Forster Pavilion, but must return to the 4-H barn immediately after washing. For Open Show information, go to www.oregonstatefair.org. 7. Animals that have been sold prior to the State Fair are not eligible to exhibit in the 4-H show. 8. Animals entered in market classes need not be shown at the county fair, but must be part of the member’s 4-H project since June 1, and approved by county 4-H staff. Market animal health records and COOL affidavits required upon request. 9. Animals (except horses, llamas, and dogs) used in showmanship must also be exhibited in conformation class. 10. Polled or dehorned animals are required for all crossbreds and nearly all purebreds (a 2-inch scur will be allowed (hairline to tip). All steers and market goats must be dehorned – a maximum 2 inch scur for beef/dairy cattle is allowed (hairline to tip). However, horned animals will be allowed if dehorning is detrimental to their herd for show or breed standard purposes ONLY! If animals show any sign of being unsafe because of their horns, they may be asked to cap or tip horns or remove the animal from exhibition. All horned cattle must be able to be safely and humanely tied, and exhibit showmanship on a halter, like all other beef/dairy cattle (this means horned Herefords would be allowed, but Texas Longhorns are not.) Remember, horns will only be allowed if they are part of the breed specifications, ie: Horned Herefords, Scottish Highlanders, Boer goats. Since Angus (and many others) animals do not have horn requirements for their breed, they are expected to be dehorned. Review your breed standards for clarification.

Allowing horned breeds may create an additional challenge. Local Extension staff and leaders may want to strongly consider whether they allow juniors to exhibit a horned breed. Regardless of exhibitor age, these animals must be completely safe to handle and may be removed or disqualified at judge, 4-H staff and/or superintendent discretion. Loosening up horned animal rules is an effort to: a. Allow goats and sheep the cooling and venting needs their horns provide. b. Be more inclusive for some of the specialty breeds. 11. All sheep and goats must have official federal scrapie program identification. 12. We support and encourage the humane treatment of all animals. Animals showing any evidence of prolapse or mechanical repair will not be allowed at the show or in the barn. Exhibitors are expected to treat their animals with respect and provide for their continuous well-being through proper feeding, handling, disease prevention, sanitation and attention to their safety.

Livestock Ownership

1. All animals exhibited must have been carried in a 4-H project by the exhibitor since June 1.

2. Registered animals must be registered in the name of the exhibitor.

(Registration in a partnership or family name is acceptable if the 4-H member’s animals have been designated at the beginning of the project). 3. Exhibitors must own the animals they exhibit (exceptions: leased animals and brace dogs). 4. 4-H exhibitors are not allowed to share an animal in Livestock and Small Animal Projects. Exception: Two or more members of the same family may share an animal in the Dog project. 5. Owners of cattle should provide haulers with transportation certificates to identify ownership.

Contestants must use the same horse in all events except for Ground Training, driving classes, and Gaming. In addition, in every event, contestants must use the same horse they qualified with at their county fair. Showmanship is required of all contestants, but you can only do showmanship once. If you have an equitation horse, you must use that horse for showmanship and show in the performance showmanship class. If you do not have an equitation horse, but have a Ground Training or driving horse, you must show that horse in the performance showmanship class.
