4 GENERAL LIVESTOCK REGULATIONS 1. Horses, cattle and other livestock will be received on Monday until 9 p.m. Unavoidable delays will be dealt with at the discretion of the appropriate committee. 2. The Fairgrounds will be open to the public Tuesday through Saturday - 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 3. Judges of livestock will meet at the Manager s Office on Tuesday to pick up their books and proceed to judge classes as scheduled. On completing their judging, these books are to be signed and returned to the Manager s office. 4. No cattle of any breed under 3 months of age shall be allowed to compete for prizes. 5. Pedigrees of all purebred animals over one year of age shall be shown at the time of judging. For purebred animals under one year of age the name and number of sire and dame shall be submitted in writing at the time of judging. Grade animals are the progeny of a purebred sire. 6. Animals low in flesh or otherwise inferior character, unworthy of a place in exhibition, will not be admitted under any circumstances. 7.

Safety of Exhibits: though the Association will take reasonable precaution to insure the safety of articles sent or brought to the exhibition, yet it must be definitely understood that the owner themselves must assume all risk. Should any article be accidentally injured, lost or stolen the association will give all the assistance in its power toward recovery. 10. All livestock must be shown in the ring unless otherwise specified. In estimating the value of livestock the judges will take into consideration where animals of different ages are competing against each other. 11. No animal or article can compete in more than one class or in more than one section of the same class except as a herd. 12. No reward or money prize not offered in the list will be paid except it be highly recommended by the Judge and Committee. 13. It does not follow that because a prize is offered for any particular animal or article, that it must be awarded unless there is proper competition or unless the exhibit is of sufficient merit to warrant the award being made 14. Exhibitors can ascertain from the Superintendent in charge of several departments, when the judge will examine their exhibits. No complaint based upon the statement that Judges overlook animals or articles will therefore be entertained by the executives. 15. Livestock for competition or exhibit shall not be removed from the grounds before 9 p.m. the closing day of the Exhibition. 16. Exhibitors must supply proper fastenings for safety securing the animals in stalls. The Committee will not be responsible for any injury or accident to any animal during the time of the Exhibition or on the Exhibition grounds. 17.
