This applies to all Junior and Senior Fair judging as well as the livestock judging. To maintain a high degree of confidence and integrity in the livestock shows, the Morrow County Agricultural Society reserves the right to disqualify the exhibitor and the exhibitor’s assistant who fitted the animal involved. The following is a listing of guidelines all exhibitors must follow to enter livestock at the Morrow County Fair.

4. Underweight Market Swine will be shown and graded in special classes and not allowed to compete for Grand Champion.
5. There must be three per breed to be deemed champion. All classes with less will be combined into one class called All Other Breeds.
