NOTE PROCEDURE All entries close June 20. All exhibitors must provide registration information to "pre-enter animals". One wild card animal substitution and one in class substitution will be honored. Those substitutions can be declared at check-in time at the fair. After identity of each animal has been verified, papers will be filed in the Dairy Cattle office until the conclusion of the breed show. All papers will be returned to each exhibitor, or appropriate representative, prior to release of cattle. 1. Breed representatives will check registration papers to verify animal identification after the exhibitor has verified entries with office staff. Registraton papers will be held in the Dairy Cattle office until the conclusion of the show. 2. Prior to show, papers will be checked and at that time the animals must be owned and recorded in the exhibitor's name. To be eligible for competition, whether singly or in groups, animals must be bona fide property of exhibitors, except where otherwise specified. Certificate of registration showing ownership must be produced by exhibitor when requested by the superintendent in charge. In the classes for get of sire, dam-daughter and produce of dam, animals need not be owned by exhibitors. Sires and dams in these groups, however, must be named when entry is made. Other animals to compose competitive groups need not be named in application for entry. To be eligible for competition, whether single or in-groups, animals must be entered exactly as ownership appears on the registration certificates. 3. HERD UNIT If a herd is registered in the names of the immediate members of a family, these persons may combine their entries as a Herd Unit and be considered as one exhibitor. Fees which are paid at time of entry must reflect these entry numbers for the Herd Unit. Individual entries may not be combined into a Herd Unit at a later time. In order to qualify as a Herd Unit, all animals must be kept in the same herd. An animal owned by any person in the Herd Unit may be substituted for one owned by any other person in the Herd Unit. Any animal bred by any of the members of the Herd Unit will be considered as having been bred by the Herd Unit ; unless it is being exhibited by another outside partner. 4. Premiums will not be paid unless registration number of breeding animals is furnished prior to show. 2

3 5. There shall be no limit to the number of animals per exhibitor in single classes. In Dam-Daughter and Produce of Dam classes exhibitors will be limited to one entry per sire and dam respectively, with no more than two entries shown by any exhibitor. In all other group classes, exhibitors will be limited to one entry. Any animal which is not entered in single classes will not be permitted to show in group classes. 6. Every female over 24 months old must have produced a living calf within 12 months or prove to be with calf. A free martin heifer shall be barred from showing until she has become of such age as to have proven a breeder. 7. At the request of the dairy cattle management, exhibitors may be required to furnish cattle for judging contest. 8. Certificate of ownership and identification according to the breed organizations will be required before showing of animals. All tattoos, identification of animals and registration papers will be checked prior to showing. It will be required by the Fair Management for the Breed Associations to check registration papers for ownership and the proper showing of cattle in their respective classes. Cattle registered in alternate, supplemental or parallel herd books shall be eligible to show according to the current guidelines established by each Breed Association relative to their respective national shows. 9. Cows shown in dry classes will be reported by show management to their respective breed associations and to the appropriate DHIA officials for testing within the state of each exhibitor as having been shown as a dry cow on show date. 10. Any breed failing to exhibit a total of 40 animals or more each year in a three year period will be cause for discontinuing that breed in future shows. 11. A milk out shall be left to the judge s discretion. 12. Exhibitors shall not water animals at hydrants; cattle must be watered in stalls. 13. The use of automatic straw shredders will not be permitted. 14. Stalling Space Stalling space is assigned based on number of head paid for and entered by the exhibitor. If the exhibitor wishes to put up a display, please note on stalling request form, so additional space can be allocated. All stalls are assigned by the Dairy Department personnel. Exhibitors must check for correct stall assignments before bedding down. Exhibits incorrectly located will need to move to assigned area. All open class entries are required to provide the information on the entry form for each animal entered. Each entered animal will be permitted an in-class substitution and then for each exhibitor two (2) wild card substitutions will be permitted. For exhibitors entering more than ten head an additional wild card will be allowed. NOTE If animals are to arrive at the Ohio State Fair before scheduled arrival time, or if you are unable to exhibit, please notify the Dairy Department Management by calling Group entries shall be made upon arrival at the Fair and prior to the announcement from the dairy cattle office that the catalog of entries is going to print. Premier Exhibitor For Premier Exhibitor calculations, the exhibitor of an animal will be as ownership appears on the registration certificate. Where a herd is registered in the names of different members of a family and where the herd is one unit, all entries may be considered as the result of one exhibitor. Partnership animals may be exhibited by the partnership or any single owner, however, this status must apply throughout the show. Premier Breeder This award to be made to the breeder on no more than six animals winning the most points in open single class, including animals bred by breeder, but exhibited by others. In case of ties for Premier Exhibitor or Premier Breeder duplicate banners will be awarded. The Point System for determining Premier Breeders is as follows: Senior Females Bulls and Junior Females Dry cows will accumulate points at either level, depending on the policy of each breed's show committee. RULES GOVERNING HANDLING OF MILK The Ohio State Fair Management will make every effort to provide dairy exhibitors satisfactory facilities and service in the handling of milk at the Ohio State Fair. Milking machines will be provided in the parlor only and a dumping station is provided for those who milk in the stall. Milk handled at the Ohio State Fair will be used for human consumption. Samples will be checked daily for the presence of antibiotics and the tank will be sampled for a bacteria count. Any exhibitor supplying milk in which antibiotics are found will be barred from selling milk the remaining days of the fair and will be held responsible for any milk that is dumped. The milking parlor will be under the direction of the supervisor in charge. To maintain sanitary equipment, there will be hot water and cleansing agents available at all times the parlor and dump station are open. Only clean 3

4 equipment will be accepted and must be checked by a representative of the Ohio Department of Agriculture prior to the first milking at the fair. Times that the representative will be available will be posted in the parlor area. All such equipment must be washed after each milking in the dump station area. Milk cans will not be supplied by the fair management. All milk shall be delivered in clean, hooded pails or cans and must be free of foreign matter! Any animal that is milked in the milking parlor area must be free of manure. Each exhibitor will be asked to complete and sign a Milk Agreement Form prior to the first milking. Information contained on the form is important for the state fair management, the supervisor of the parlor, and payment for milk sold during the fair. With any and all of the above guidelines, the supervisor and personnel of the parlor and dumping station will be in charge of all decisions regarding the cleanliness of the cows and the equipment. Their recommendations and/ or instructions shall be followed. Unsatisfactory results could lead to immediate termination of milking privileges. Milk will be received on all days between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The parlor will open at 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 25 for the first rotation and on Tuesday, August 1 from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. for the second rotation.

Every effort will be made to maintain flexible hours for exhibitors prior to and following shows. Dairy office announcements will alert exhibitors 30 minutes prior to the parlor closing. The Ohio Purebred Dairy Cattle Association will be responsible for dispensing individual checks to exhibitors for their share of the milk sold. It is very important to remember that spectators are observing every phase of our operation. It is crucial that we make a good impression if we are to maintain positive communication with consumers.
