This form is due the 2 nd Saturday in May during tagging. 2. Dairy beef feeder calves must be tagged on May 12, 2018, at the fairgrounds between 8:30 10:30 a.m. This tagging is mandatory to be eligible for exhibit at the current Logan County Fair. 3. Dairy Beef Feeders must weigh between 400-600 pounds at weigh in on Saturday, July 7 between 5:00/6:00 pm only DBF or 6:00/7:00pm will be any Cattle species that missed the individual time in order to show.

Calves determined not to be will not be tagged. 5. Members can tag up to three animals, but show two. AGAIN THIS YEAR In an attempt to acquire a better base bid for the Dairy Beef Feeders since they are not a terminal animal at fair time, the Dairy Committee is adding a separate sale for them. On Thursday, the Dairy Beef Feeders will have a sale to establish their base bid price. If a buyer wants to purchase the animal, they will need to do so at this sale. Exhibitors will still sell their one calf on Friday for their Premium amount. 1. Base bid will be determined by an auction of DBF calves that exhibitors wish to sell. Each calf will receive its own base bid. 2. DBF exhibitors will determine at time of calf weigh in if their animal is to be sold or taken home. 3. The base bid will be more competitive with actual DBF market prices at the time (example: 2016 Hardin County DBF calves averaged ($1.05-$1.10/lb.) 4. Each calf determined by exhibitor to sell will go through DBF auction to establish calf s own bid. 5. Exhibitors still will be able to go through Junior Fair livestock sale to receive their premium bid. (See Junior Fair livestock sale rules/procedures) 6. As in the past, the base bid will be added to the premium price to determine exhibitor s pay. 7. Buyers of DBF calves through the Junior Fair livestock sale will only pay the premium bid they make the Junior Fair livestock sale as in the past.
8. Individuals who wish to purchase any DBF to retain ownership will need to do so at the DBF base bid sale. 9. Exhibitors who show two calves still can base bid both calves if they desire. 10. For Dairy Beef Feeders only instead of using the sale release forms, we will be using an Animal Destination Form. Every DBF that comes to the fair will need a form filled out with one of the three options marked: (1) Take Home; (2) Premium sale which includes the DBF Base Bid Sale; or (3) Base Bid Sale only. This should eliminate any confusion on the final destination of all DBFs. Livestock Sale 1. All exhibitors must follow dress code for showing in order to sell. 2. All exhibitors wishing a release to go to another show must make such a request prior to leaving the show ring. Request forms are available from the announcer s stand and can be turned into the announcer before leaving the final class that you exhibits that particular animal. 3. All first place calves must participate for Grand Champion Dairy Beef Feeder. Calves in contention for Reserve Grand Champion may be pulled prior to Reserve Grand Champion announcement. Actual condition of calf must be stated on the day of sale. Any calf which is not as represented will be removed from the grounds. General health on day of sale is the responsibility of the exhibitor. 4. Buyers cannot gift, donate or sell animals back to exhibitors once they go through the Jr. Fair Livestock Sale. 5. Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion dairy beef feeders will not be required to sell through the Junior Fair Livestock auction. It is the hope of the committee that these animals go home with the exhibitors and return the following year. If you sell through the livestock sale, you cannot bring that particular animal back to the fair the following year. Show placing remain the same, regardless if the Grand and Reserve choose to sell or be pulled. Show Guidelines & Dress Code 1. Exhibitors will be required to wear long pants/slacks or jeans. 2.
