EXHIBIT JUDGING SYSTEMS AMERICAN DANISH
The American System of judging is based on all entries in a lot being judged against each other, and awards one first, one second and one third placing etc. The Danish System of judging is based upon established standards of quality for each type of product. In this system, each exhibit is judged according to how well it meets that standard rather than how it compares with other exhibits.

PREFACE 1. The purposes of these rules are to: a. Ensure educational and equitable competition; b. Provide state-wide competition consistency; and c. Maximize exhibitor and public safety. 2. These rules apply to all competitive exhibits conducted by district, citrus and county fairs in the State of California. 3. These rules cannot be waived or amended by anyone, including the fair board, management or judge. 4. The Division of Fairs & Expositions (F&E) is the final and absolute interpreter of these rules. Only a fair may request, in writing a variance on their own behalf or on behalf of an exhibitor to a specific rule. This request must be made prior to the start of the fair or specific competition for which a variance is requested. If F&E approves a specific variance request it may approve a conditional variance with specific conditions. Any approved variance shall expire at the conclusion of the annual fair. 5. Fair Management and/or Board of Directors may grant variances to ownership rule in the instance of deceased animals, submission of late entries and refund of entry fees. Variances may be ruled upon by F&E at the request of Fair Management and/or Board of Directors. 6. F&E will distribute any corrections and additions to these rules to fairs. It is the fair’s responsibility to make them available. F&E does not represent or endorse the accuracy, currentness or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other information displayed by the fair in the distribution of corrections and additions to these rules. True and correct copies of all rules and any additions or corrections are available upon request at F&E during business hours, by mail or at www.cdfa.ca.gov/fe . 7. Fairs may create “Local Rules” that may be stricter than the State Rules but that may not circumvent the State Rules. 8. If a local rule is not printed in the exhibitor handbook the applicable State Rule will apply. 9. Competition at the California State Fair is governed by State Fair’s rules.

III. JUDGING 1. Judges should avoid any appearance of partiality and avoid unnecessary fraternization with exhibitors. 2. No person shall act as a judge in any division in which he/she or a member of his/her immediate family is an exhibitor, is in charge of an exhibit or division, in charge of a group of exhibitors, or a member of a group of exhibitors. 3. No person shall be allowed, under any circumstances, to interfere with the judge(s) regarding their adjudications, or with the fair’s staff, or to offer any audible criticism of an exhibit or exhibitor. Violators of this rule shall be excused immediately from the competition and shall be subject to such additional penalties, including cancellations of awards, as the management shall consider proper. 4. The judge has the authority to: a. Disqualify or transfer to the correct class any exhibit that does not meet the requirements of the division or class in which it is entered; b. Disqualify any exhibit not properly cleaned or fitted; c. Disqualify any exhibit that is in his/her opinion hazardous to public safety; d. Examine the animals before entering the show ring; and/or e. Refuse to make award to any animal that shows visible evidence of disease, deformity, or lameness. No award will be made to exhibits eliminated under any of the above instances. 5. The judge may not waive State Rules. 6. The judge’s decision is final. Fair Management may not request any changes in judges’ rulings. 7. To encourage high standards, the judge shall award first, second, third place, etc. according to merit. If without merit, the judge shall make no award under any circumstances.

IV. AWARDS AND SCORING 1. Fair Management is not responsible for errors on entry forms. No exhibitor shall be entitled to an award that has been disallowed as the result of his/her own error. 2. All divisions or classes will be judged under the American system and/or Danish system as stated in the fair’s exhibitor handbook. 3. State “Judging Standards” are to be used where applicable. Local judging standards may be used if published in the exhibitor handbook. 4. Cash awards will be paid only as recorded on the signed Judging Sheet and only to the exhibitor. 5. Fair Management shall withhold the payment of awards for exhibits that are determined ineligible under State and Local Rules and may recover awards that have been paid for ineligible exhibits. 6. No exhibitor shall receive more than two cash awards in any one class using American judging system. (See definition of exhibitor.) a. When an exhibitor earns more than two awards in a class, the exhibitor will receive the two highest cash awards, and the lesser cash awards will be moved down the placings to other exhibitors; ribbons will be awarded as placed. b. Any difference in payment limits under the Danish system of judging shall be printed in the exhibitor handbook. c. When the fair combines classes, an exhibitor is entitled to two cash awards per each class that was combined. Judges should determine special awards as printed before combining. 7.

SISKIYOU GOLDEN FAIR – AUGUST 6-10, 2014
TEN GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS OF LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS • You should not feed, train and/or care for the animal because you are teaching your child responsibility. • You shall forgive your child for making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes. •You shall not get mad if your child forgets items in the show box because you have forgotten things yourself. • You shall assist show management because this is a difficult job and they are doing it for your child. • You shall make sure your child is on time for all show activities, hence not making others wait for you. • You shall make sure your child’s entry forms and registration papers are in order and filed with the fair office by the designated date and time. • You shall teach your child that winning a blue ribbon is a desirable goal, but making friends and learning from them along the way is a more worthy goal. • You shall not complain about the judge because it is his or her opinion that is being sought. • You shall remember that livestock projects are teaching projects, not necessarily money-making projects. • You shall remember that the livestock project is a family project that shall be enjoyed and supported by the entire family.

Animals will have the necessary feed and water the entire time they are at the fairgrounds. • You will keep the animal pens clean and free of hazards at all times. • You will treat adults, especially those in authority, with respect. • You will follow all Local and State rules that apply to your particular project(s). • If you are staying in the fair RV Park, or visiting friends in the fair RV Park, you will abide by all curfews and other RV Park rules. • You will not allow an adult to perform your duties including fitting an animal for show, cleaning pens, feeding or watering.

RED TAG POLICY
LARGE ANIMAL SHOWMANSHIP
This policy is to ensure that livestock exhibited at the Siskiyou Golden Fair are cared for and treated in a humane and ethical manner and that livestock pens/stalls are suitable for public display. Livestock exhibitors (junior and senior) are solely responsible for the care of their animals while on exhibit at the Siskiyou Golden Fair. If the Livestock Superintendent becomes aware of any livestock exhibit that is not being cared for in an acceptable state of pen cleanliness as determined by the Livestock Superintendent or is not being maintained, the following will occur: The Livestock Superintendent will determine the name and affiliation of the responsible exhibitor. A Red Tag with the following information will be affixed to the exhibitor’s pen/stall: exhibitors name, observed problem, date and time of citation, Livestock Superintendent’s signature. The Livestock Superintendent will make reasonable efforts to contact the exhibitor’s advisor, parent or designee and advise them of the situation resulting in the Red Tag citation. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to respond to the Red Tag by contacting the Livestock Superintendent within 12 hours of the citation being issued. The exhibitor will formulate and initiate a plan of correction approved by the Livestock Superintendent. Any exhibitor failing to make contact within 12 hours will be issued another citation. Any exhibitor receiving two Red Tag citations during the fair will be declared ineligible for further competition, including participation in the Junior Livestock Auction. All fair premiums and awards earned will be forfeited, and the exhibitor will be required to remove their animal(s) from the fairgrounds. Any exhibitor that is required to remove their animal(s) from the fairgrounds must do so within 12 hours from the time of notification and coordinate with the Livestock Superintendent. Adults are not to groom, or in any way, care for animals of junior exhibitors. Violation of this rule will result in a red tag.

If any 1st place showman declines the opportunity to represent the first specie won in Round Robin, they are disqualified from the contest and will not be eligible to represent any other specie.

5 PM for every market animal to be sold in the auction. Individuals with market beef have 30 minutes after the market beef lot on Friday to make contact. Failure to comply with the time schedule will result in a $20 fine (deducted from auction check) and the Executive Committee of the Junior Livestock Auction Committee may resolve conflicts with the higher placing entry having priority and then the heaviest weight within the same group placing. When two or more species are eligible the larger will sell. A draft auction sales list shall be posted on the Livestock Office late Saturday evening, if available. The sales list for the auction will be made as follows: The judge will determine the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Market animals from among the eligible animals in each of the beef, sheep, swine, rabbits, poultry, bred dairy heifer and beef replacement heifer classes. They will be sold first, when that species is sold other beef, sheep and swine will be sold by random drawing. Species will be sold in the order listed at the end of the auction information/rules. All Grand Champion and Reserve Champion market animals eligible for the auction are required to sell. The Parade of Champions will begin at 10:00 AM in the auction arena. All Grand and Reserve Champion animals are required to participate. Decoration of sale animals is allowed only if animals are cleaned of all decorations immediately after the sale. Absolutely NO glitter or oily substance of any kind is allowed. Animals not clean and dry of all decorations will not be loaded. There will be no reselling of animals during the auction, unless it is at the buyers request for a cause approved by the Junior Livestock Auction Executive Committee. Sellers of steers sold in the auction must be on hand in the barns at 3 PM on the day of sale to bring your animals to the loading area when called on. Members failing to be on hand at the barns may be fined a $25 loading fee (deducted from auction check). All beef, sheep, goats and swine will be slaughtered at the plant designated by the Junior Livestock Auction Committee. No animals will be held at the fairgrounds for personal slaughter or shipped to another plant. Certain deductions will be made from the income of sale animals in order to defray expenses of the sale. For all species 6% is deducted and goes to the Junior Livestock Auction Committee. In the case of 4-H members .5% is deducted and goes to the County Club Council. For FFA members .5% goes to the FFA Chapter. The remaining deductions are used to pay for brand inspections (beef & dairy), Pork Check Off (swine), transportation fees and other promotional or required fees. Sellers’ checks will be made available in the fair office 10 days after the auction. To receive auction checks, sellers must turn in sealed, stamped and addressed thank you notes in envelopes to the fair office. Buyer and support information will be mailed out to each seller within 10 days of the auction. Seller’s checks not negotiated by December 15th will be null and void. After December 15th, sellers will need to come before the Junior Livestock Auction Committee with their original auction check and get approval for a new check to be reissued.
21. The owners of all animals that go through the sale ring and are sold must clear through the finance office and pay the auction fees required regardless of who buys the animals. 22. Carcass replacement will take place as follows. Beef – any carcass that quality grades below USDA Select Minus is subject to replacement by the seller. Any carcass that is Lotified as a “dark cutter” is subject to replacement by the seller. Swine – Any carcass that grades below USDA No. 3 is subject to replacement by the seller. Sheep – Any carcass that grades below USDA Choice is subject to replacement by the seller. Goats – Any carcass that grades below USDA Choice is subject to replacement by the seller. All species – any carcass that is condemned for whatever reason is subject to replacement by the seller. The Junior Livestock Auction Committee will arrange for the replacement carcass, sell the meat from the below-grade carcass, and apply the proceeds towards the price of the replacement carcass. The difference between the cost of the replacement carcass and the sale of the below grade carcass meat will be deducted from the seller’s auction check. BUYER INFORMATION 23. To be eligible to participate in the Junior Livestock Auction as a buyer, there must be no outstanding auction debt from any previous years. 24. The auction will be conducted in a businesslike manner. The auctioneer will determine the sales price and only bona fide bids will be accepted. 25. The auction will be on a cash basis.

10th District Junior Livestock Auction The market place that 4-H, FFA and independent members sell their animals raised from “learn-by doing” livestock projects that teach them to select and care for animals. These projects are also commercial ventures to gain experience in the business world. An opportunity for you to support these youth activities and receive recognition for it. A genuine, legitimate auction with auctioneers crying the bids, and bidders vying for the livestock of their choice. Market animals are sold by the pound, Bred Dairy Heifers and Bred Beef Replacement Heifers by the head. Auction Day - Auction buyers are encouraged to pay for purchase on the day of the auction. Payment for animals should be made at the payment table on auction day; payable to 10th District Jr. Livestock Auction. CASH, CHECK, VISA or MASTERCARD Price Support - One other way buyers can support an individual, club or chapter, is by picking up a price support from auction day at the Price Support Table, ran by the Junior Fair Board. In Either Case - you will be recognized for your support of this youth activity. One recognition you receive is a THANK YOU POSTER provided by Tri Counties Bank, showing the animal you purchased with the seller. If you want to buy the animal, but can’t be present to bid on it, there are many individuals and organizations who will be glad to act as your agent
