4-H

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE PRE-entered BY JUNE 10, 2008

 

GENERAL RULES

1. All exhibitors must be enrolled 4-H members in a 4-H program.  Cloverbuds exhibit for participation ribbon only.

2. Again in 2007:  Cloverbuds will not be allowed to work/show an animal in a one to one format as in years past. Cloverbuds will no longer be able to have any physical contact with their animal exhibit. Instead, junior leaders or older siblings will be required to do all handling of the animal before, during and after the conference judging of that animal. This means the junior leader or older sibling will have total control and responsibility for leading the animal by halter (horse, dairy, beef, goats and sheep) and also for carrying, holding and set-up of poultry and rabbits. Junior leaders or older siblings will handle the animal, but will not be allowed to say anything during the judging process. The Cloverbud will be expected to talk to the judge about his/her experiences with their animal exhibit. This ruling was passed down by the State 4-H Office and was established as a matter of safety for our young Cloverbud members. Junior leaders or older siblings may need to brush up on their showing and presentation skills of an animal. This is a great opportunity for your child and junior leader or older sibling to learn about the animal together. Animals exhibited by a Cloverbud must only be shown by the Cloverbud; they cannot be another member’s exhibit also!

3. 4-H members may enter exhibits only in projects in which they are enrolled.  Dairy, beef, dairy goat, swine, sheep, poultry and rabbit may enter only one exhibit per lot and must be properly identified.  A 4-H record must be kept on each exhibit shown.  Horse members may enter one lot per event.

 

Exhibits must be registered in advance. 

4-H registration forms are due June 10th.

4. 4-H Horses must be entered by 8:00 am on Friday, June 20th.

5. Animals will be housed throughout the entire fair for display. All exhibits will be released at 7:00 P.M. on Sunday, June 22nd

6. All 4-H exhibits will be judged as they are entered.

7. Entries must meet the requirements of the lot before they will be considered by the judge.  Exhibits not meeting requirements WILL NOT BE PLACED.

8. Only 4-H project members in dairy, beef, sheep, swine, goats, and horses will be permitted to exhibit in both 4-H and open class competition.  All other project members are not permitted to enter the same exhibit in both 4-H and open class competition.

9.  All animal and non-animal 4-H exhibits MUST remain on exhibit at the Fairgrounds for the entire fair showing.  Early removal of an exhibit will result in forfeiture of any premium earned.  All exhibits will be released at 7:00 pm on Sunday, June 22nd.  Exhibits left after 8:00 pm Sunday, June 22nd will be left at your own risk. 

10. All articles offered for competition, including livestock and non-livestock, must have been raised and fitted, made or produced by the 4-H member who may have conducted the project in partnership or in cooperation with any parent or guardian providing the member shall have full responsibility during the period specified in the project outline.

11. Feeding, caring, clipping, trimming, blocking, (all species) must be done by the exhibitor or members of the exhibitor’s immediate family. Failure to do so may result in loss of any premium. A substitute showman must be a currently enrolled 4-H Member. 

12. ALL LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY EXHIBITED MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MINNESOTA LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD.  All livestock must pass inspection of the official Fair Veterinarian.  If an animal does not pass inspection, the animal must be removed from the fairgrounds immediately.

13. Exhibitors of livestock are allowed to stay overnight at the fairgrounds; however, no water or electrical hook ups will be available to campers.

14. The Fair Management is not responsible for loss or damage to exhibits.

NECESSARY INSPECTION BY VETERINARIAN

The Minnesota Livestock Sanitary Board has established the following livestock regulations for the Fair:

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Livestock or poultry known by the exhibitor to have an infectious, communicable disease or to have been exposed to an infectious, communicable disease or to be from a quarantined herd or flock may not be entered in an exhibition.  Warts and ringworm are considered communicable diseases.  Therefore, livestock affected by these diseases cannot be exhibited.  A statement from a veterinarian that an animal is being treated for these diseases is not acceptable.

All livestock will be inspected by the Official Veterinarian on the opening day of the exhibition.  The Official Veterinarian will order the immediate removal to a quarantine facility or removal from the exhibition premises of any livestock with symptoms of infectious or communicable diseases.  Animals placed in a quarantine facility must remain there until removed from the exhibition premises.  They may not enter a show ring.  This includes livestock with warts or ringworm.

All testing must be conducted prior to the exhibition, and a record of the test results on a test chart or Intrastate Health Certificate must accompany the tested animals.

 

HORSES

All horses (horses include mules, asses, ponies, donkeys, burros and zebras) attending public exhibitions in Minnesota must be negative to an official test for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) within 12 months prior to the opening date of the exhibition.  Proof of a negative test for EIA will be required for all horses admitted to exhibitions.  A test is not required for suckling foals accompanying a negative dam.

All horses (horses include mules, asses, ponies, donkeys, burros and zebras) brought into Minnesota from other states or countries, including horses for trail rides, rodeos, circuses and performing animal acts, must be negative to an official test for EIA within 12 months prior to the date of importation.  A test is not required for horses consigned to slaughter and for suckling foals accompanying a negative dam.

*A negative Coggins test of all horses exhibited must be presented upon arrival at County Fair.

Helmets:  ALL 4-H’ers participating in any 4-H sponsored mounted activity are required to wear ASTM / SEI approved protective headgear, properly fastened.

1.  Identified by leg or wing band.

3. Turkeys must be tested at a laboratory or originate directly from parent stock that has tested negative for Salmonella typhimurium and mycoplasmas gallisepticum and mycoplasma synoviae.

 

CATTLE (Originated from Minnesota)

At this time, there are no state requirements for bovine tuberculosis (TB) testing.  However, new intrastate movement requirements may be in effect during the 2008 exhibition season.

 

SWINE

Swine must be individually identified and must: (1) have had a negative official pseudorabies test conducted within 30 days prior to the opening date of the exhibition ; or (2) originate directly from a qualified pseudorabies-negative herd; or (3) originate directly from a Stage IV or V county or area.  (All 50 states are currently pseudorabies State V - Pseudorabies Free Status).

4-H LIVESTOCK

SHOWING REGULATIONS

1. In all livestock projects any member may show more than one animal.  However, he may show only one animal in each class/lot.  The 4-H’er must be enrolled in each lot− (Example: market barrow, gilt) and must complete a record for each animal exhibited.  In the horse project, a maximum of two animals can be exhibited in pleasure and game classes.  One horse can be shown only in pleasure class and one horse in game classes.  A 4-H’er with one horse can show the same horse in both pleasure and game classes.    

2. No parent, relative or friend is allowed to show a 4-H member’s animal.  Member must exhibit his own animal, unless it is a special emergency.   

3. 4-H members should know the birth date, care, breed characteristics of their animal and other relative information if the judge asks them.

4. All members should wait until their class is called out before taking their animal to the judging arena.  Members should remain near the judging arena at all times during the show.  We will not be responsible for waiting for any member who does not have his animal ready for the show ring when he is called.

5. 4-H LIVESTOCK MEMBERS CAN ENTER OPEN CLASSES IF ANIMALS ARE ELIGIBLE.
