4-H Livestock Division Rules 1. The Larimer County Fair and 4-H Program adheres to the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) National Code of Show Ring Ethics. Each livestock exhibitor is required to sign a form indicating they have read the code and will abide by the guidelines. IAFE Code of Show Ring Ethics Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to all exhibitors who compete at the Larimer County Fair. All leaders working with 4-H exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Exhibitors who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums and awards and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the Larimer County Fair Board. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada. The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events: a. All exhibitors must present, upon request of Fair and Livestock Show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership and age of

all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited. b. 4-H exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at the Fair. c. Animals shall be presented to the Fair where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The act of entering an animal in the County Fair is the giving of consent by the 4-H exhibitor for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event. If the laboratory report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise. d. At any time after an animal arrives at the Fair, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian. e. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal’s performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hooves or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited. f. The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not acceptable and are prohibited. g. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation and respect and no person shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them. h. No 4-H exhibitor shall conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with another person or persons either by affirmative action or inaction to violate this code of ethics. Violation of this rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action. The application of this code of ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by the 4-H exhibitor whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this code of ethics.

- 5 -

i. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the 4-H exhibitor to have disciplinary action taken by the Fair Executive Committee without recourse against the Fair Executive Committee. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary action taken by the Fair Executive Committee may be published with the name of the violators in any publication of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and Expositions and any special notices to members. j. The act of entering an animal in the Larimer County Fair is the giving of verification by the 4-H exhibitor that he or she has read the Code of Show Ring Ethics and understands the consequences of and penalties provided for actions by the code. It is further a consent that any action which contravenes these rules and is also in violation of federal, state, or provincial statutes, regulations, or rules may be released to appropriate law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions. 2. Inhumane Treatment of Animals - Abuse of animal(s) in any form will not be allowed. No electric prods will be allowed to be used on any animal at any time. Any violation of this rule and any other activity deemed inhumane by Fair Management will result in immediate disqualification with no recourse. 3. Ethical Treatment of Animals – Tubing, pumping or injecting of any unauthorized substance or water into an animal will not be tolerated. Any violation of this rule and any other activity deemed unethical by Fair Management will result in immediate disqualification with no recourse. 4. USDA Wholesome Meat Act and Quality Assurance Program –The Larimer County Fair endorses and supports the USDA Wholesome Meat Act and insists exhibitors be in compliance with all Quality Assurance Programs. Exhibitors of all meat animals (beef, sheep, swine, goats, catch-it program animals, poultry and rabbits) must certify their compliance with manufacturer's pre-market withdrawal periods specified for any and all medications, drugs, medicated feeds, pesticides, or feed additives administered. The use of any non-approved chemical or improper use of approved chemicals is strictly prohibited. Members must submit the Certification Statement of Disclosure (purple form) at check in. Failure to produce this document will make the member ineligible to show at the Larimer County Fair and participate in the Junior Livestock Sale. The Larimer County Fair management reserves the right to screen or test any market animal for drug residues or illegal drugs of any nature and take any action deemed appropriate if testing results show any positive residues above naturally occurring levels or positive results for illegal drug usage. 5. COOL – The USDA mandated Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) on September 30, 2008. Therefore, all cuts of lamb, goat, chicken and rabbit must have documentation as to the origin of the animals to be marketed in the U.S and international meat industry. Therefore, every 4-H youth showing market animals (sheep, goat, poultry and rabbit) must complete the “Country of Origin Label Declaration” form. 4-H youth can use one form for all species. The form documents the seller’s basic contact information (in this case, the 4-H youth), the animal ID (tag #) for each individual animal in the transaction, and validation of what country(s) the animals were BORN and RAISED in. It also requires a youth and parent signature. According to USDA, this document must be kept on file for one year (in this case, by the Sale Committee). This form must be turned in at time of check in/weigh in.

6. BSE – Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad-Cow Disease, is a fatal, neuro-degenerative disease in cattle. Due to the FDA’s food safety requirements, ruminant animals presented for slaughter must have been handled in accordance with the Food and Drug Administration’s ban of feeding identified mammalian derived protein materials to ruminant animals (21 CFR Part 589). The BSE form, required by packers, is validating that you, as a livestock producer, have fed your animal in accordance with this government regulation. This form must be turned in at the time of check in/weigh in. 7. Ownership – All animals must be owned by the exhibitor on or before May 31, 2018, except market beef which must be owned by February 20; market lambs and market goats which must be owned by April 23 and market swine by May 1 (excluding Leased Horses & Dairy animals). All registered breeding animals which are shown in the 4-H Division must be registered in the Junior exhibitor's name. Breeding Beef Heifers must deliver the original copy of the registration papers, brand inspection certificate, or bill of sale by 4:30 p.m. on the ownership deadline (February 20) to the Extension Office. Upon request, the exhibitor must show certificate verifying said animals or animals are duly registered in his or her name with the breed association in question. The rules of the breed association shall determine the ownership of the animal. Animals may be registered in the name of one or more junior exhibitors but cannot be jointly owned with an adult. If jointly owned, only one owner may exhibit the animal in this Fair. In cases where registration papers are in transit, all prize money, trophies, or special awards won by the animal in question shall be withheld until the owner can furnish satisfactory proof that said registration papers are in due process of being recorded and mailed. Grade or non-registered animals must be accompanied by a bill of sale, affidavit or other written proof of ownership satisfactory to the superintendent. Proof of ownership must be presented upon request to the superintendent in each department by the exhibitors before stalling their livestock. Failure to present proof to superintendents upon request may be grounds to cancel an entry. The act of entering an animal in the County Fair is the giving of consent by the 4-H exhibitor for show management to obtain retinal images on any animal, at any time, and for any reason during Fair and Fair management may take any action deemed appropriate based on results of the retinal images. 8. Showing – All livestock must be on grounds and entered at the time designated to be eligible to show. All livestock 4-H members are required to present to the Superintendents of each species their up-to-date record book at the time their project is entered. Books are available by going to the following website: larimer.org/ext and clicking on the 4-H youth button, then the e-record button. If records are not up-to-date, the project will not be allowed to be shown at the 2018 Fair. a. Livestock Must Be Shown by the 4-H Exhibitor Personally; however, Superintendents may allow another Larimer County 4-H exhibitor to substitute in showing in case of timing conflict in two different departments, in case of illness of exhibitor, or other emergency or situation. b. An exhibitor may show only two exhibits per class in the breeding departments. c. Each animal shown in a group class must be shown by a different exhibitor. d. The Superintendent and/or Judge in each department reserves the right to group the classes for the sake of competition.

- 6 -

e. All 4-H livestock exhibitors will be assigned an exhibitor's number which will be worn by the exhibitor while showing. f. A substitution may be made for an animal entered on the Fair Entry Blank where the entered animal is sick or dies as long as the substitution fits the division and class as pre-entered and meets ownership requirements. Exception–No substitutions allowed in any Market classes. A veterinarian certificate must accompany the request. Substitutions must have approval of Head Superintendent of the department. g. No parents or leaders are allowed in the show ring unless they are ring stewards selected by the coordinating Superintendent. 9. Care, Fitting & Grooming of Livestock – Junior Livestock must be cared for by the Junior Exhibitors entered in the show. Junior Exhibitors may receive assistance, providing they are in attendance and participating at all times when assistance is given. Should multiple exhibit and/or multiple species conflicts occur, prohibiting the Junior Exhibitor from being present for a period of time, it is the responsibility of the Junior Exhibitor to notify the 4-H Staff or the Superintendent of the conflict, prior to the occurrence. Exhibitor Statement: “The 4-H Staff and Superintendents ask for your cooperation in minimizing the use of adult assistance in preparing animals for show at the fair. We understand the younger exhibitors will probably need some assistance. Helping an exhibitor in such a way that he/she is learning the techniques of properly preparing an exhibit is an important part of the total project experience. When an adult lends this assistance to the process, then it becomes a contest among adults, and we have lost the teaching and learning aspect of junior exhibits. Since this is a Junior Show, the goal of the 4-H Staff and Superintendents is to direct the Fair in such a way that it is a positive learning experience for our young exhibitors.” Larimer County requires that only 4-H members enrolled in the Larimer County 4-H program can help each other. In addition, 4-H leaders and immediate family, including parents, step-parents, brothers, sisters (or half-brothers or half-sisters) and grandparents, may assist. Anyone who is the legal guardian of the 4-H member may assist youth with fitting, caring for, and/or handling junior livestock that is deemed necessary by the 4-H Staff and Superintendent. The 4-H Staff and Superintendent have the responsibility to determine that said help and/or assistance is educational/demonstrational and youth is present if and when the adult is assisting with the livestock exhibit. The 4-H Staff and Superintendent have the right to disqualify a Junior Exhibitor for infraction and abuse of this rule. Any exception/modification to this rule must be approved by the Superintendent and 4-H Staff ahead of time. 10. Premises Identification (ID) – All Market Beef, Sheep, Swine, Goat, Rabbit and Poultry youth are required to have a valid Premises ID prior to the Fair Entry date, in order to show at Fair. This does NOT apply to breeding animals. Market Rabbits and Poultry refer to all meat pens/exhibits. There is a place on this year's Fair 4-H Entry Form to record your Premises ID number. Premises ID is one component of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). For NAIS’s purposes, a premises is defined as a location or site where livestock and poultry are born, handled, housed, managed, marketed, processed, or exhibited. Premises ID is critical to rapid detection and evaluation of the scope of animal disease outbreaks and in improving emergency response efficiency. A Premises ID is not the same as a Scrapie ID (there is no ear tag associated with Premises ID). A Premises ID is always seven digits made up of both numbers and letters. If your 4-H project animal is housed/boarded somewhere other than your property, the Premises

ID would need to be obtained from/through the landowner where your animals are housed. It is simple and free to obtain a Premises ID. You can register by calling 303-869-9148. 11. Carcass Contests (Market Beef, Market Lamb, Market Swine and Market Goat) – A carcass contest will be held for Market Beef, Swine, Sheep and Goats, providing there is access to packing plants willing to allow carcass data to be collected or ability to ultrasound live livestock. Plans are to collect actual carcass data on Market Beef, and use ultrasound on Market Lamb, Swine and Goats, but are subject to availability and change. All Market Lambs, Swine and Goats, regardless of nomination for the Jr. Livestock Sale, are eligible to compete in the carcass contest. Carcass contest entry for these three species is included on the Livestock Fair Entry Form. If a Market Lamb, Swine, or Goat exhibitor wishes to compete in the carcass contest, the exhibitor must be entered by July 16. Exhibitors may choose to enter up to three (3) animals per species, but must specify tag # on entry form. Only those Market Beef that qualify to sell in the Jr. Livestock Sale and use a processor where other sale animals are actually being processed will be eligible to compete in the carcass contest, since plans are to collect actual carcass data. If an exhibitor's Market Beef animal qualifies for the Jr. Livestock Sale and he/she wishes to compete in the carcass contest, the exhibitor must be entered in this contest by Wednesday, August 8 at 10 a.m. in the Livestock Office. By entering the carcass contest, exhibitors are obligated to make their animal available for carcass data collection or ultrasound (during the check-in/weigh-in time for the respective species). This is an optional contest, which will cost $6/animal to enter (in addition to traditional fair entry fees) and must be paid at time of carcass contest entry. To be eligible for the carcass contest, your animal must weigh in the range of the specie weight requirements. Underweight and overweight animals will not be considered in the carcass contest. Underweight and overweight carcass data will not be given out. No refunds will be given. 12. Unsportsmanlike Conduct – When a 4-H exhibitor, parent or leader is guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct and/or inhumane/unethical treatment of an animal, the Larimer County Fair Executive Committee or its designee can suspend the privilege of that person to participate in future Larimer County Fairs for such a period as judged appropriate by the Fair Executive Committee or its designee. 13. Champion and Reserve Champion Selection – The first place animal of each class will compete for breed/market division champion. Second place animals are required to be brought into the arena. After the Breed/Market Champion is selected, the second place animal in the class that furnished the Champion competes with the first place animals in the other classes for Reserve Champion. 14. Overall Grand and Reserve Grand Champion Market Beef, Chicken Pens, Ducks, Geese, Goat, Rabbit Pens, Sheep, Swine and Turkeys are required to sell in the Junior Livestock Sale provided all requirements for exhibits and exhibitors are met, including compliance with the Wholesome Meat Act and Quality Assurance Program. Animals eligible for Grand and Reserve Grand Champion Awards, which do not wish to sell in the Junior Livestock Sale, must be scratched prior to the call of the Grand and Reserve Grand Champion class. The Superintendent of the Department must be informed of the decision prior to the fielding of the class so an announcement can be made to the judge, other superintendents, exhibitors, and spectators. Once the animal has entered the show ring, it will remain in competition for Grand and Reserve Grand Champion selection until all judging is complete and

- 7 -

the Grand and Reserve Grand Champion has been selected by the Judge. No animal can be scratched after judging has started. 15. Bedding – All bedding must be furnished by Exhibitor, including Poultry and Rabbit Exhibitors. Straw and shavings will be available and sold on grounds. Turf materials must have wood chips underneath them. No sand can be used. NO DYED OR COLORED SHAVINGS ALLOWED. 16. Equipment – All feed and feeding equipment must be furnished by the Exhibitors.

Exhibitors are expected to help keep exhibit areas, grooming areas, and barn perimeters clean and attractive. All animals and other exhibits should be kept clean and in a presentable condition at all times. The Head Superintendent for each Livestock Department and the 4-H Livestock Extension Agent reserve the right to feed and water neglected animals. Any animal found in neglect of feed, water, and/or care will be dismissed from the grounds and the exhibitor will be scratched in all entered classes with all premiums and awards forfeited. 18. Manure Removal – A designated location will be provided for disposing of manure. Manure must be taken to this area via wheelbarrow or other conveyance. Piling of manure at ends of the barn or in immediate vicinity of building will be prohibited. Use dumpsters that are provided. All exhibitors must clean their stall(s) after exhibit is released. Pens must be left clean. 19. Control of Livestock – Any livestock deemed uncontrollable, as determined by the Superintendents in charge, will be excused from the show ring or the fairgrounds, depending upon the severity of the situation. 20. Tying of Livestock – All cattle (Beef and Dairy) must be tied with a neck rope in addition to the regular halter. Head Superintendent or their representative will determine if ties are proper. 21. Housing of Livestock – The Livestock Superintendents will make stall and pen assignments according to prior entries. 4-H clubs will be stalled together at the discretion of the Superintendent in charge. Any change of pen cards by an exhibitor is prohibited unless approved by the Head Superintendent of the department. Any pens not used for housing of livestock will be released to other exhibitors. There will be no tie outs except in the case of emergencies (upon approval of the Superintendent). DO NOT MOVE OR CHANGE STALL ASSIGNMENTS. NO DISASEMBLY OF PENS IS PERMITED. DO NOT REMOVE CENTER PANEL. 22. Veterinary Needs – The Larimer County Fair will have a practicing veterinarian on the grounds. The exhibitor can contact either the veterinarian on call or their own veterinarian should the need arise. Contact a Head Superintendent or Show Official if you need the Fair veterinarian.

Important – The Superintendent in charge has the right to call for the services of a veterinarian in the treatment of a sick animal if the exhibitor is not available. Note – A Superintendent or veterinarian must be in attendance when any drug or medication is administered to an animal(s) and a written

report filed with the Fair Entry Office and placed in the official entry book. 23. ONLY Market Animals Going to State Fair may be released one hour after their show is completed.

Displays for County Fair 4-H Exhibits Display boards are the only boards that can be used for 4-H projects. 1. Display boards are made of lightweight cardboard and are sturdy, attractive, inexpensive and available at most local stores. They come in several colors. When opened, the 1 foot wide winged sides provide a surface to help the exhibits stand alone on a table top. The standardized display board size of 4’ x 3’ is to be used for 4-H projects. 2. No headers. No attachments are allowed on the display boards that would prevent the board from lying flat. 3. Note: For more information on displays and projects go to www.4h.colostate.edu and look under Display Hints and Tips and Project Tips.

Tips 1. Boards must be easily read from a distance of 3-to-5 feet. Use large, bold letters (at least 3” high) for exhibit title or captions. 2. Design the exhibit, keeping in mind the size and shape of the open show board (three surfaces including the wings). 3. When mounting items on the display board, avoid things that are bulky or heavy which could cause the display board to collapse. Mount items securely so they won’t fall off. Tape will not work. 4. You have only 60 – 90 seconds for the message to be read; be concise. 5. Tell your story with visuals. 6. Avoid putting too much in the exhibit. It should never have a crowded look. 7. Dark lettering on a light background is most visible. 8. Do not use headers or attachments on your display board. Binder: (For e-Records, additional materials and manuals) 1. Use a sturdy binder to hold the e-Record, manuals, supplements and other materials securely. 2. Stacks easily and lies flat. 3. Do not use the slider-type binders as the e-Record, manuals, supplements and other materials will not stay secure in these types of binders. If using pocket folders, make sure that the contents are placed in the prongs, do not leave in the pockets.

Department Q Leathercraft

Superintendent – Holly Godfrey Project Exhibit Rules for All Units: 1. Put name, age, and county code on back of exhibit board and on tag attached to individual exhibit articles. 2. Indicate in e-record whether articles are made from kit or if self-cut and designed by the member. 3. A set means a number of things of the same kind that belong, or are used together, (i.e. six matching coasters, belt and buckle with matching designs, etc.) 4. Advanced leathercraft members may Units 4 – 10 may exhibit in more than one of the classes, provided the member is enrolled in and has completed the requirements of the unit. 5. Unit 8 is now advanced creative stamping. It is recommended that 1st year Juniors take Unit 1 Introduction to Stamping before taking Unit 8. 6. Definitions: Carving – is where you cut into the leather (usually swivel knife) as part of the design you are tooling. Stamping/Tooling – is where you use impressions made from tools to form a design. Cord – is round and waxed thread. Lace – is flat with a shiny side and rough side. Background Dyeing – dyeing a solid color to the area tooled with the backgrounder. Solid Color Dyeing – is where you dye the whole project the same color. For example, you tool a belt and then dye it all black, or you make a book cover and dye it all one color. Color Shading – is where you use shades of color to make the design look more realistic. For example, you can use darker and lighter shades of a color on a flower you have tooled to make it look realistic, or an animal or figure any kind. Staining/Antiquing – using an antique finish like saddle tan – apply and remove/rub on and wipe off. Clear Finish – is a finish that has no color in it. For example, oil (no color added), leather finish spray or wipe on that has no color mixed in it.

Department ON Quilting

Superintendent – Patti Lamfers Extension Contact – Emily Alligood

1. Viewing of judging is open to the public Wednesday, August 1, beginning at 8:30 a.m. No discussion between exhibitors and judges will be allowed during judging process. 2. Articles can be entered in the Larimer County Fair only once. Articles must be finished since August 1, 2016. 3. All articles entered must be clean and free of animal hair and odors including smoke. 4. Only one entry will be accepted in each class per exhibitor. In some cases the class will be determined by the perimeter of the quilt. The perimeter is the distance of the outside edges. 5. All work must be done by the exhibitor. An exception is for quilts that have been quilted by others. These quilts have their own division and classes. They will be judged on applicable elements, but, will not have the quilting workmanship judged. 6. All name tags and labels need to be covered or removed. 7. Articles will be judged on workmanship, design and suitability to purpose. 8. Ages of the exhibitor for youth and senior divisions will be their age on December 31, 2017. 9. If you require special hanging brackets or handling, we will try to accommodate your needs. However; if the superintendent does not feel the quilt can be handled or hung safely it will not be accepted. 10. Once a quilt is entered in a class it can only be moved to a different class if it was entered in an incorrect class and must be approved by the superintendent. 11. It the exhibitor or volunteer are unclear of the correct class for a quilt, they will request assistance from the superintendent for determination. 12. See Open Class Home Economics, Fine Arts, Photography and Creative Crafts General Rules for additional information. Definitions: 1. Art Quilts are designed and created as textile art. Since art quilts are not required to have binding, quilting or other standard judged techniques, they will be judged on creativity, workmanship and suitability of intent. 2. The hand worked category will include all quilts that have at least one of these techniques: hand piecing, hand quilting, hand applique or hand embroidery. Example: A quilt can be machine pieced but hand quilted and would be accepted into this category. 3. Wall-hanging quilts have the construction of traditional quilts, but, are intended to be hung as decoration. 4.
