4 RULES AND REGULATIONS No dogs will be allowed in livestock or show areas! ******STALLING NOTICE****** In the past years there has been many open ties/pens that have been assigned to exhibitors that did not use them. This year (2018) there will be another event happening on the Central States Fairgrounds at the same time, so we may not have use of all the barns. It would be appreciated if you would note on the back of your entry how many ties/pens you think you may need. Stalling assignments will be made as usual after all the entries are received by the manager. 11 th Annual WJLS Supper and Get Together Thursday, October 11, 2018 at the Soule Building at 7 pm will be the annual WJLS Supper. It is a time to get acquainted with new friends and renew friendships with people that you met at previous Western Juniors.

The directors will then present the information at the annual meeting held in November/December after the show. The winner of the Cattleman s Family Legacy Heifer will be announced. Please sign up at the WJLS office so we can get an idea of how many groceries to purchase. WJLS Honorees will be recognized at the awards presentation on Saturday.

The first show included only the feeder calf project but since that time the show has grown to include sheep, swine, dairy, goats and other projects relating to livestock production. The show was developed as a 4-H agriculture youth show to serve as a show window for the livestock industry from this area. To set a standard of type and quality, which serves as a guide to every interested producer and provide a competitive outlet for 4-H youth club work. MEMBERSHIP WJLS is a non-profit membership organization existing on the revenues from membership money. Membership to WJLS is only $5.00, which can be purchased at the show or by contacting the show manager or any WJLS director.

If any animal is refused admittance by the show management, there will be an entry fee refund. ARTIFICIAL PRACTICES The Board of Directors has the right to disqualify any animal whose appearance has been materially changed or altered by any process, including dying of the hair, which may make breed determination and classification difficult or uncertain.
