Judges Recommendations Select produce that is free from disease, insect damage, or other blemishes. If more than one item is exhibited in a class – i.e. 3 cucumbers per entry – they should be as close to the same size, color, quality and shape as possible. To clean your entries: do not scrub. Wash only if necessary. Gently cleaning with a soft brush or cloth is preferred so as not to damage the skin or natural sheen of the produce. Remember: Failure to comply with the correct number of specimens per entry, stem or root length and/or peeling (or not) automatically disqualifies the entry. It is understood that the produce entry may not be fully mature; however, it should be within a week or two of ripening. The exhibitor is responsible for arranging the produce, on the plate, after check in.

WHAT IS THE LIVESTOCK SALE ASSOCIATION? The Gem/Boise County Market Livestock Sale Association is a committee of the Gem/Boise County Fairboard, a non-profit corporation. This Association is often referred to as the Sale Committee. All members of the committee are volunteers, receiving no salary or monetary compensation for the work they do for the 4-H and FFA livestock members of Gem/Boise County. Â
WHAT ARE FLOOR AND PREMIUM BUYERS?  FLOOR BUYER: Your animal is given a floor price by a set floor buyer who will take all animals not purchased outright in the sale. The floor price is an amount per pound based on current market value.  PREMIUM BUYER: The “other buyers� pay the premium price you make on your animal above the floor price. When you see one of the Sale Committee members, please let them know how much you appreciate the time they donate to the youth of Gem/Boise County.
