FORWARD The Payne County Fair Board presents to you the 2021 show program for the Payne County Junior Livestock Show. The rules contained herein, in most instances, are a result of individual or group recommendations through the years. To present a show schedule and a listing of rules that are without error and to the satisfaction of every exhibitor is a challenge. Assisting with the management and interpretation of the show's rules are a group of volunteers who serve as superintendents. The Fair Board is indebted to these people for their dedication to Payne County's 4-H and FFA members. Please say "thanks" to these people for their time and interest.

The purpose of the Jr. Livestock Show is to provide county 4-H and FFA members the opportunity to compare their abilities for selection, care, and management of their livestock projects. Included in this training process are parents, leaders, and teachers. Livestock projects are simply tools being used to train young people to be tomorrow's leaders. Misrepresentation of any nature may be a detour that leads to a dead end. Please join us in conducting an educational event that permits good clean competition that ends with a friendly handshake and a smile. Let's have a good show. -Payne County Fairboard

Every exhibitor, parent or legal guardian, Ag Teacher, 4-H Educator/Leader MUST sign an affidavit that they understand the rules of the Payne County Jr Livestock Show. Any violation of the rules will result in disqualification of the subject animal and/or exhibitor upon available superintendent consensus. All awards and/or monies will be forfeited. No legal action will be brought against the superintendent, Premium Sale Committee, Fairboard, Expo Center, Judges, and/or other officials.

Each exhibitor is permitted to show not more than 3 market swine (barrows or gilts), 3 market lambs, (wethers or ewes), 3 market goats wethers and 3 does, 3 market steers, and/or 3 prospect steers.

For beef breeding cattle, there must be four (4) or more heifers of a breed owned by two or more exhibitors to have a breed show, otherwise they will go in AOB. All Brahman influenced and Longhorn cattle without the four-head needed to make a breed will be grouped together in an American Breed Class.

4-H Member: An exhibitor must wear; official 4-H vest, jacket, or pullover wind jacket of the appropriate colors of solid green, solid white, or a mix of green and white. Must have an official 4-H emblem of at least 2½ inches that is permanently affixed to the front and left side of the vest or jacket. Must wear a buttoned up collared shirt or polo shirt, short or long sleeve under the vest or either jacket that is the appropriate colors of solid green, solid white, or a mix of green and white. If you have questions or need an official 4-H patch please contact The Payne County Extension Office 405.747.8320.

No third color mix or additional colors are allowed. Must have an official FFA emblem of at least 2½ inches that is permanently affixed to the front and left side of the shirt. Because apparel requirements are predetermined for junior dairy exhibitors, they will be required to wear the 4-H or FFA emblem when showing in their respective competitions. Exhibitors must adhere to the dress code in order to be allowed in the show ring. The dress code also will be enforced during the Premium Auction and while junior exhibitors are appearing before the media or other special functions where they are representing their organization. In extremely hot weather, show management may modify the jacket requirement. Believing it is in the best interest of all youth livestock exhibitors and breeders of livestock to maintain a reputation of integrity and to continue to present a wholesome and progressive image in the show ring, the following list of practices are considered unacceptable in the presentation of livestock. The use of such practices or procedures is therefore, considered a violation of the Rules and Regulations governing this show.

18. The exhibitor must be the sole owner of any animals shown in his/her name. Junior exhibitors must have owned, cared for daily and fed market animals from not later than the date nominated, or date listed in premium list of show. All other animals, including dairy animals, must be owned by or transferred to the exhibitor by the required date listed in the show premium list.

19. In breeding classes, beef and dairy entries must be registered and recorded in the sole name of the exhibitor. Tattoos, brands, or registry association tags and flock tags must match the papers and be correctly located. Swine ear notches must be correct and healed; market hogs shown as purebred must have healed ear notches in both ears. 17

20. All exhibitors are expected to provide the primary care and grooming of their animals throughout the show. An exhibitor may be assisted in grooming his/her animal. However, the exhibitor must be present and applying the level of expertise appropriate for that exhibitor’s level of experience as deemed by his/her Ag Ed Instructor or county 4-H Agent. Therefore, beginning showmen are allowed more assistance than seasoned showmen. The 2021 Junior Livestock Beef Show will be blow and show. The use of paint, glue, foam, or other adhesives and boning products of any kind will not be permitted. Boning of legs, alteration, or enhancement of color will not be allowed. Water, light oils, or sheen type products will be allowed. In short, if you question whether or not a product is allowed, do not use it. All beef cattle will be led between two beef superintendent designees and checked for violations (combs and rags will likely be used during the checking process). No aerosol cans, spray bottles, or styling products other than combs will be allowed past the checking area. Any cattle found in violation will not be allowed in the show ring and will be disqualified from the competition and award premium opportunities. All beef superintendents’ decisions will be FINAL!

21. Any junior exhibitor entering livestock in competition must be present to lead and show said animal in competition, or the animal will be disqualified, and entry fees will not be refunded. Any infraction of rules will cause forfeiture of any premiums earned. The only exceptions to this rule are where a bona fide owner has more than one animal in a given class and, due to an extreme emergency; the bona fide owner is not able to be in attendance. Such cases must be approved by the management. Each animal offered for sale must be handled in the ring by the bona fide owner.

Exhibitors, organized groups or any individual switching animals at any time and changing ear tags and other forms of identification

will be barred from showing and will forfeit all prizes and premium money.

35. Junior exhibitors, and adults involved with the exhibitors, are expected to adhere to the General Rules and Regulation of junior livestock show including the Show-Ring Code of Ethics as well as the Rules and Regulations governing the Junior Division.

36. Any violation of the Rules and Regulations incorporated in this book, may result in forfeiture of all premiums and awards, disqualification and expulsion or probation of the exhibitor, organized group the exhibitor represents and or any individual or livestock involved. Probation, disqualification, expulsion or other disciplinary action of the show management will be final. Such action will require application for readmission under such terms as the management may prescribe before the group or individual is allowed to exhibit at future events. Violations of rules at a show which is a member of show support organizations including the Oklahoma Association of Fairs and Festivals, the American Livestock Show and Rodeo Managers Association, and the international Association of Fairs and Expositions, may affect the eligibility of the violators for participation in any show throughout the country, regardless of the show's membership in these organizations.

37. Final interpretation of the following rules will be made by show management. Management decisions are final.

38. Any parents, participating adults or students, interference, misconduct, outburst or inappropriate language, during the show that is a bad example will not be tolerated. The result of these actions can be your child or exhibitor being put on probation or excluded from ever showing here again and your removal from the facilities/grounds.
