Registration papers pending will be acceptable only in the case of junior calves. In such a situation, a document from a breed association verifying ownership and date of purchase must accompany the animal. 3. Exhibitors must have their registration certificates available for inspection at any time during the fair. This is especially important during judging of the group classes as officials may wish to verify ownership at that time. 4. Exhibitors will be limited to two (2) premium awards per class, with no limit on the entries, in classes 1 through 28 (individual classes). 5. Exhibitors will be limited to one entry in classes 15 & 16 (Junior Group Classes) and classes 34 through 38 (Group Classes). 6. If 15 or more cows are shown in any class, your fair will be entitled to ten premiums. If 14 or less are shown in any one class, your fair will be entitled to five premiums. 7. No dairy animal is permitted to have horns longer than 2 inches. 8. Exhibitors will be expected to display or parade their animals as directed by the superintendent, to accept the stall assigned without controversy; to keep their animals in attractive appearance and to cooperate with the department in every way that may serve to increase the educational value of the show. 9. Exhibitors of livestock must inform themselves as to when their stock will be judged. Stock must be in the ring promptly on call and a failure to comply with the order renders exhibitors liable to be ruled out of competing. 10. Awards from previous events or fairs are prohibited from being a part of your exhibit. 2

If you are not certain that a product is residue safe and approved for use on meat or dairy animals, DO NOT USE IT!! **Important** If upon slaughter, treatment with drugs, biologics, or any chemical from fitting products, is the cause of condemnation of a carcass, the loss of the carcass and any other damages will be borne by the exhibitor.** 15.
