Drug Identification Forms
All exhibitors enrolled in
market hogs, market lambs, market steers, market and dairy goats, dairy
cows/heifers, meat pen of rabbits, and broilers must turn in a Drug
Identification Form when they unload their animals on Sunday, September
17 (and hogs on Saturday,
September 16).
These forms must be signed by both parent and exhibitor regardless of
age. Forms may be picked up at the Extension office.
The following information
will help you complete the forms.
Animal Species - please
circle
Animal
Identification # - Fair ear tag number

Please check the appropriate
boxes on the rest of the form and sign. These forms will be checked by
the fair veterinarian and MUST
accompany the animal to the scales.
Hog Hair Clipping
It is recommended that all
market hogs have at least 1/2 inch of hair on their body. The ears and
tails may be clipped shorter.
Scratches from Livestock Sales
All exhibitors who do not
wish to sell their market animal must turn in a non-sale form to the
Junior Fair Office two hours following the completion of the specie
show. Forms will be available at specific specie show.

Educational Exhibits for
the Fair
Please
remember that no 4-H project is complete until there is an exhibit
included at the county fair. Fair premiums will only be awarded to
those members who have shown their animal during the fair or have put
an educational exhibit in their club's fair booth. (Clubs with fewer
than 4 projects have the option of giving members' exhibits to
Extension staff for display in a miscellaneous project area.)
An educational display illustrats or
describes some aspect of your project. A person viewing your display
should learn something about what you learned or made through your
project work. In many cases your exhibit is something that you made or
constructed in your project. The exhibit should be something more than
just a simple representation of the type of project you took. For
example, measuring cups alone would not be considered an educational
exhibit for a foods project. To complete the exhibit, a small sign
could be added listing types of ingredients that should be measured in
dry vs. liquid measuring cups. A gun cleaning kit for a shooting sports
project would need the addition of small signs to tell what each piece
of equipment is used for to be an educational exhibit.
Guidelines for
numerous projects were revised this year to clarify what constitutes an
educational display, so if there is a question please check the project
guideline sheet that was in your project book. (Please not that two project areas in
particular which were not very clear in the past in regards to fair
exhibits were Shooting Sports and Dog projects.) The preferred
size for all posters is 14" x 22".
Feel free to
contact the Extension office if there is any questions about what to
exhibit to cmoplete your project.
