The 103rd Weld County Fair is here! The Weld County Board of Commissioners is extremely excited to welcome you to this fantastic event that honors our communities FFA and 4-H Club Members. Agriculture has been and remains a staple of Weld County. It serves as a livelihood for many of our families, which in turn, helps feed our bellies, clothes our bodies and enrich our souls. And for 4-H and FFA youth, it gives them a means to secure knowledge and capabilities used both within and outside of the agriculture industry. Through various projects such as rocketry, home economics, horticulture, robotics and raising and showing livestock, the fair allows youth to build off the rich agricultural roots in Weld County. Fair participants learn new skills such as goal setting, public speaking and presenting in a professional setting. Fair not only helps them succeed today but also helps positively shape them as future agriculturalists. Thank you, FFA and 4-H Club leaders, for growing the next generation in agriculture by instilling them with hard work, dedication, responsibility and leadership. Thank you, parents, sponsors and attendees, for supporting Weld County youth participating in the fair. Thank you, Fair Board, Extension Office staff and their respective committees, for making the Weld County Fair a success for the past 102 years.

Weld County Fair 2021! As the President of the Weld County Fair Board, I find myself reflecting on years past. The Weld County Fair is a time-honored tradition that is looked forward to by all Weld County residents. I remember as a child the excitement that would build as the weeks turned into days and the countdown lingered on, until finally we found ourselves loading our animals into the trailer and driving to the fairgrounds. The laughs, the smiles and the tears of fairs past are still some of my fondest memories to date. The community coming together, friends and neighbors enjoying a lemonade together, the hard work and commitment of our children, all proving once again why Weld County is one of the top ag producing counties in the entire nation. I would like to give recognition to all of the other members of the board & volunteers for their support. Without the community support, the Weld County Fair would not run as smoothly as it does year after year. I would also like to thank the Weld County Commissioners for their continued generosity. I would like to formally invite all of the members of our community to come and see the projects that our local youth have worked so hard on throughout the year and most of all, support the 103rd year of the Weld County Fair! Sincerely,

Elijah Hatch, President 2021 Weld County Fair Board

2021 FAIR BOOK DEDICATION: Keith Maxey

ach year the Weld County Fair Board chooses one person that they feel has contributed to the annual event through their work promoting the agricultural industries and continuing the legacy of the fair for future generations.

For the 2021 Fair Book Dedication, the board —comprised of Eli Hatch, Mike Frink, Isaia Aricayos, Christie Gable, Aaron Helus, Tom Bledsoe and Ken Vaughn — has chosen long-time Weld County resident Keith Maxey for the title. “It is quite an honor,” Maxey, 66, said. “I appreciate the recognition they have given me.” Growing up on a dairy farm in Weld County, where he currently lives across the street from, Maxey has been involved with the fair in a variety of capacities since the 1960s, he said.

“Secondly, you also get to work with a lot of great people,” Maxey said. “Whether that is the staff at the extension office, fair board members, all the different committee people — there’s a whole slew of volunteers who give up a lot of their personal time to help out.” One of the things Maxey is most proud of when it comes to the fair is that organizers have always managed to keep the event a family friendly affair. “You might not see some of the things that you see at other county fairs, like carnivals or commercial exhibits,” he explained. “They put the focus on the kids and the focus on the family. And I think our community really appreciates that.”

“Through 4-H and through FFA I exhibited at the Weld County Fair. Then in the 1980s and 1990s, I had kids that exhibited at the fair,” Maxey explained. “I stayed involved serving on a committee, particularly for the dairy show. Then in 1995, I began employment with Weld County Extension and through that position with them, I just was involved in the fair in a number of ways, as are most extension agents.” The Livestock Show, Dairy Show and Jr. Livestock Show are just a few of the events Maxey helped with each year at the fair. “For the last 25 years, until my retirement in December of last year, I worked with the fair board and committee members to help present the fair,” he said, with pride. When Maxey thinks back about his years working with the Weld County Fair, some of his most favorite memories include all the youngsters and teens involved in the different shows and competitions. “To see the pride and to see the work that they put into in getting their exhibits ready for fair,” Maxey said. “Whether it’s their horse, a calf or a pig, or it’s some of the general projects like rocketry or restoration or clothing, these kids put a lot of time and effort into learning about their projects, getting it ready for fair and presenting at fair.” Fairs like Weld County’s give youth the opportunity to excel, shine and be recognized for their efforts, he added.

WELD COUNTY FAIR SHINING STAR: Corey Longhurst

he Weld County Fair and its associated programs certainly help prepare participants for farming or agriculture careers, but their impacts can be felt far beyond the rural towns.

Corey Longhurst, 34, was named Weld County Fair’s 2021 Shining Star. Longhurst resides in San Francisco where he works with Bain and Co. to help Fortune 500 companies address various issues regarding their growth and futures. “It sets you up to be anything you want to be, because it gives you these foundational skills of working hard, taking responsibility for what you’re doing and how to manage a business,” Longhurst said. “I think 4-H and FFA, for me, is a really solid path for setting people up to be entrepreneurs, businesspeople and make contributions in any industry.” Longhurst’s love of farming began when he was 8 years old and got a bucket calf from his grandfather. The calf was supposed to stay in the backyard, but Longhurst was often seen walking his four-legged friend around Keenesburg. At the time, the population was less than 600 people, but his parents thought a move to the country would be best.

in Iowa and worked as an attorney for six years before attending Stanford Business School for his MBA. Despite not actively participating in ag work, Longhurst can’t express enough gratitude for every person who took the time to work with and encourage him. They inspired him to do the same at his current job, seeking others to mentor, and he hopes others who still live in Weld will take the time to support other young people. “The people who invested in me were investing in the future,” Longhurst said. “They were investing in my future, but they were also investing in the future of the community and the future here in Weld County. I just want to encourage people to continue doing that. It’s just made a world of difference for me.”

Soon after, Longhurst began rearing sheep — cattle would be too big, his parents said — and participating in the Weld County Fair, 4-H and FFA. Not only did he present his own flock, which he grew to about 150 sheep, he participated in livestock judging competitions. These opportunities provided Longhurst with a laundry list of positive experiences, skill development, mentorship and success. He truly learned to “take ownership and responsibility” over the things he does. Longhurst called his sheep project a small business, because he had to figure out not only how to purchase animals but how to feed them, how to keep them healthy, how to purchase equipment for shows and then how to sell the animals and reinvest the money into the next year’s project. He knows the business, decision-making and communications skills didn’t come on their own. Instead, he attributes his fond memories, personal growth and willingness to receive help to the many community members who mentored him during his childhood. “In a weird way, 4H and FFA opened the world to me,” he said. “It gave me an incredible amount of opportunities because of the responsibility skills that I had as a kid.” Longhurst attended Weld Central High School before studying at Colorado State for his undergraduate degree. He initially thought he would work in farming or agriculture, which he still holds in high regard, but went into law. He attended Drake University

FRIENDS OF THE FAIR: G&M Implement and Pfeifs invest in the future of agriculture industry through 4-H, FFA

n nearly two decades in the farm equipment business, G&M Implement, Inc. owners Glenn and Mary Pfeif have found an important avenue for their community service ventures.

Mary Pfeif said G&M has been one of the top bidders of animals since 2006 and they’ve been No. 1 in three of the last four years. “That was the best way to support the kids and it’s one program where the kids get all of the money,” Pfeif said. “4-H and FFA will always be our main community service.”

It’s the northern Colorado students who participate in local 4-H and FFA programs at area schools. “They’re the future, right?” Mary Pfeif asked while discussing G&M’s investment in the young agricultural entrepreneurs. “If we lose these kids off the farm and out of agriculture, they are it.” To protect and preserve the future of the industry, the Pfeifs have put their money where their mouth is since opening G&M Implement in 2002. That's why they were named the Weld County Fair’s 2021 Friends of the Fair. The Pfeifs have consistently supported 4-H and FFA students in a variety of ways year to year, but one of the key components of the Pfeifs’ commitment comes during the annual Weld County Fair. Near the end of the fair, which will be held for the 103rd year July 24-Aug. 2,, 4-H hosts a livestock sale. The cost of the animals is based on where they finished in competition during the fair. G&M Implement has been a top bidder of the animals dating to the early 2000s, and the money then goes back to the students for their future work in agriculture, such as to contribute the funds toward college classes.

The Pfeifs live in Weld County between Greeley and Briggsdale. They've been married for nearly 46 years. They opened G&M Implement 19 yeas ago in Greeley to fill a void with the closure of a Massey Ferguson dealer. Glenn had previously worked for another Massey Ferguson dealer, and he was asked to step in and open another dealership so area farmers would have an option in Greeley. The Pfeifs opened a second G&M Implement location in Sterling in 2006. Glenn and Mary’s son-in-law, Michael Fergus, manages the Sterling store. Colton Fergus, the Pfeifs’ grandson, works in the parts department in Greeley. Colton Fergus is the son of the Pfeifs’ daughter, Trudy, and Michael Fergus. Colton and Michael Fergus are the future of the G&M operation. Mary Pfeif said the father and son are “the succession plan.” Glenn and Mary, though, are not quite ready to have Colton and Michael bring that plan to life. Mary will be 64 this year and Glenn will be 65. “It’s in our blood and we’ll be doing as long as we can,” Mary said. “We have a ways to go yet."

Emerson Lobato, Attendant Hey Everyone! My name is Emerson Lobato and I’m your 2020-2021 Weld County Fair Attendant. I’ve spent two years now holding this amazing position and I recognize that many of you don’t know me very well! To start off I am 17 and Junior in high school. After I graduate next year I plan to attend LCCC to study agriculture and get my associates. After that I plan to go to OSU or UW to get my bachelors in agriculture. I only say agriculture as an umbrella term, I’m still figuring out the details. My biggest inspirations are Dolly Parton, Amberly Snyder, and of course Cher. I think that in itself tells you everything about me. My Parents are Jim GIbbs and Vanesa Bullock, they are my biggest supporters and the people who are always at the gate waiting to say good job or you better pony up! I’m your typical horse crazy teenage girl, my life revolves around my horses and always growing in my sport all while prepping for Weld County Fair! Aside from all of the fun horse play I am also the Sentinel for Windsor High School FFA and the President of my 4-H Club the Horse Whisperers! As you can tell I pretty much eat sleep and breathe ag; it’s truly my passion! I hope to become a role model to many kids while also bettering myself through this position. I cannot wait to see each of you at this year’s Weld County Fair! Let’s have a great year!

Ella Niccoli, Attendant Hi everyone my name is Ella Niccoli, one of the 2020- 2021 Weld Fair Attendants. During my time off I am a busy 17 year old and also a full time student at Greeley Central. Along with being a 12 year member of Weld County 4-H, a Colorado 4-H District 2 Senator, a Youth Executive Council member and I am also a part time student at Aims Community College. In my free time I enjoy showing my goats around the state and many other shows in surrounding states. I am an only child to my parents Ty and Charity Niccoli and I have 2 yellow labs named Rugar and Findley. Currently I am in the middle of my junior year at Greeley Central and in the midst of college tours and applications for my top choices of Colorado State University, Oregon State University, and Texas A&M. I am looking to study in the field of Veterinary Medicine. In 4-H, my projects include Market show goats, cake decorating, home design and décor, restoration, buymanship, shooting sports and scrapbooking. I’ve also had opportunity to be a part of Colorado State 4-H conferences at CSU, attend Colorado Association of Fair’s which is a royalty conference in Colorado Springs, Leadership Youth Development Conference in Denver and many more activities that I would have never experienced it wasn’t for 4-H. This year I will be able to take my Citizen Washington Focus trip to Washington D.C and the east coast for the week after being delayed from last year. We will get to learn the earliest histories of our country including World War 2, Vietnam War, Civil War and much more about presidencies and the foundation of our countries. I am excited to be representing the Weld County Fair again this year and all the fun and excitement it will bring. We hope to see you July 24th through August 2nd of 2021 for the 103rd Weld County Fair!

12. Youth Categories: a. Age categories for youth are offered in most divisions b. Youth can compete in adult classes if the item fits in an older age category (other than Senior) better and will compete on the adult level. Youth will not be switched to the youth class at time of check-in or judging. c. Youth do not need to belong to any youth group to enter classes in the Better Living and Agriculture Divisions. All divisions are subject to all Weld County Fair General Rules, Open Class General Rules and those listed for individual divisions. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to be familiar with all rules. 13. Adult Categories: a. There are two age categories for many of the adult divisions/classes. b. Adults are those 19 years of age and older. c. Seniors are age 60 and older. Senior classes are offered in most divisions. Seniors may enter in any of the adult classes in addition to the Senior Classes. 14. Professional classes. There are classes for professionals in some Better Living Divisions but not all. In divisions that don’t have professional classes, we ask the professional to use the honor system and not enter. Professionals are not eligible to enter any other classes in divisions that have professional classes or compete for Overall Champion Awards. If professionals compete and it becomes of knowledge, the exhibit will be disqualified, even after judging and award will be replaced with a participation ribbon. 15. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the rules and classes of the fair, and do not enter anything that does not have a class in the premium list. 16. No switching or substituting of pre-entered classes/tags will be allowed by exhibitors. a. Entry changes (Class/Department) may occur at the discretion of a judges request or a joint decision of a Division Superintendent or Fair Board/Coordinator. Also see Rule #6 under judging which applies once judging has begun. b. Miscellaneous classes (in all age divisions) with 5 or more like entries may be considered a separate class at the Superintendents discretion. c. Entry or department volunteers and superintendents will not make the changes. 17. Exhibit items may not be accepted on judging day if Division Superintendents and Extension Consultant or Fair Coordinator does not feel they have the space to exhibit the item due to size or security concerns; or in the case it does not come to the fair prepared for display (i.e. quilts must have required hanging sleeve; fine arts, framed; stitchery exhibits must have required screw eyes and wire hangers). Refer to specific division regulations for details. 18. Items for Vegetable, Herb and Fruit and Crops, Creative Weeds, and Field Crop exhibit and judging should be brought to the Events Center at Island Grove Regional Park according schedules listed with each department. Flower Arrangements and Horticulture exhibits and judging should be brought to the Bunkhouse at Island Grove Regional Park according to schedules listed for each department.

CHECK-IN 1.

If an exhibitor begins checking in exhibits and/or is standing in line prior to the deadline time in a department, all of their exhibits will be accepted even if the check-in goes beyond the check-in end time. Be sure to bring your printed entry confirmation. Exhibitors with large number of exhibits are asked to check in early rather than the last minute out of courtesy to the volunteers.

JUDGING 1.

NO exhibits will be accepted at the fair that were not pre-entered.

Entries must be clean or they will not be judged.

Where there is no comparison, articles will be judged according to their merit. Like articles may be combined to form a separate class at the discretion of the judge. 1st place is not guaranteed if there is only one in the class. It might not merit a 1st place in the judges’ opinion.

A red ribbon entry may be considered for reserve champion if the judge ranks it over other blue ribbon winners and the champion came from the same class. No tie placing will be awarded; placing can be skipped, judges do not have to award all placing when quality doesn’t warrant award. A single exhibitor can win overall champion and overall reserve champion in a department.

Judges’ decisions are final.

Judges can request that an entry be changed to another class if they feel it has been entered in the wrong class and the class it should have been entered in has not already been judged. Otherwise it will be judged in the class it was entered and may only rank a participation ribbon. It will be noted on the back of the tag if it was entered in the wrong class.

Important! Please Read this Rule! To be considered for judging, all entries must be canned or dried according to the most recent researched based USDA recommendations for a high altitude area (5,000 ft.). Check with your local Extension Office prior to canning for recent USDA recommendations and adjustments needed for high altitude. If you have questions you can contact the Larimer County Master Canner Edie at 970-4986000. Canning methods and processing times from Ball, Kerr or other publications are considered secondary to USDA recommendations. Always use USDA processing times over other sources. BE SURE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN PROCESSING TIMES! See Resources at end of division. Processes that are unacceptable and unsafe include: open

www.weldcountyfair.com

All exhibits must be labeled properly. Label must provide the following information: a. b. c. d.

Name of product Style of pack: hot or raw (cold) Date canned Processing time, altitude, and pounds of pressure (p.s.i.)

Examples:

Sliced Peaches in Light Syrup Raw Pack August 25, 2000 Boiling Water Canner Processed 40 minutes Altitude:

Canned Green Beans Hot Pack June 28, 2000 Pressure Canned, Dial Gauge Processed 25 min. at 13 p.s.i. Altitude:

Altitude where item was processed must be listed on label or item will be disqualified from judging. Do not place exhibitor’s name on label/entry. Secure label to the jar. Incomplete and incorrect labeling will reduce your score. Unlabeled entries will not be judged. 8.

The Judge may open jars of jellies, jams, preserves, and/or pickles (except gift packs) and may taste (not required). Canned foods (vegetables and fruits) may be opened in determining the pressure seal quality of the product. If the pressure seal is opened, a warning note will be given. Gift packs will not be opened, but will be judged on product and container combination, color, presentation and variety.

Canned foods will be judged on: a. Pack – full, attractive, yet practical. b. Liquid – covers the top of fruits and vegetables adequate head space.

PREMIUMS and AWARDS

See Open Class Division General Rules.

FOOD PRESERVATION GUIDELINES: Entering your home preserved food in competition adds excitement as you prepare the foods. Selecting the “best” jar in anticipation of a blue ribbon makes the process fun. While you cannot predict the quality of your competition or the unique criteria of each judge, there are some steps you can take to increase the chances of earning a blue ribbon. First is to appreciate standards of safety and quality.

• • • • •

Name and variety of food Method of preparation (canned: type syrup, style of pack; dried: pretreatment used, if any) Method of processing (canned: water bath, pressure canner— indicate weighted or dial gauge; dried: oven or dehydrator) Processing time, altitude and pounds of pressure (p.s.i.) Date canned or dried

One Up on the Competition • • • • • • • • •

Follow exactly the fair book rules for each category. Enter items only in established categories. Don’t bring an entry for which no category exists. Do not bring an exhibit that has been previously entered in the same event. Make sure jars are clean and dry. Sticky or dusty jars and jars with signs of old labels will be quickly eliminated from the competition. After washing jars, bring jars to the fair with new screw bands attached. Make sure bands are not wet or rusty. (Jars should not be stored with bands at home.) Use standard canning jars with two-piece lids in standard sizes. Avoid decorative jars, padded lids, or fabric covers. Use appropriate headspace called for in your recipe directions. Check that there is no foreign matter such as stems, seeds or skins in the jar. Liquid should cover the solids in the jar.

Safety is the Primary Consideration

•

You want to use safe preserving procedures so that no one becomes ill. Improper processing methods or times can cause the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness or even death. Not only would this be a problem for fair judges, it could also make your family ill as they consume other jars you have canned.

Resources

The judge may open jars of jellies, preserves and pickled products and may taste. Canned vegetables and fruits may be opened in determining the pressure seal of the product. Many judges will open jars to better examine the contents inside the jars — especially when differences among entries are very small. Make it Safe • • • • • • • •

Follow research tested recipes exactly for processing methods and processing times. Appropriate altitude adjustments must be made. Use the pressure canner to can any low acid food—that includes meats, soups, and all vegetables except acidified tomatoes and pickled vegetables. Acidify tomatoes with bottled lemon juice or citric acid before processing either in a boiling water bath or pressure canner. Process high acid foods in a boiling water bath canner. Processes that are unacceptable and unsafe include: open kettle processing, oven canning, inversion sealing, paraffin sealing, and meat jerky dried from unsafe meats. Use two piece lids. Remove the screw band for storage, but put a clean screw band on the jar to bring it to the fair. Always use standard brand name canning jars in good condition. Recipes are required for all canned and dried products and must include recipe source.

Label it Smart A complete label provides the judge with information as to how you canned or dried the food. The label must include:

QUILT HANGING SLEEVE DIRECTIONS 1.

Measure the width of the quilt from binding seam to binding seam along the edge where the hanging sleeve will be attached. Add 2” to that measurement. This will be your cut length. You can use a plain muslin fabric or, if you want the sleeve to but unnoticed, use the same fabric as the backing. Hanging sleeves are not judged.

The cut width is 9 inches. The finished width should be 4” to fit over the hanging pipes.

Fold in 1” on both ends of the length of the sleeve. Fold under ½” and stitch down

Fold in raw edges, right side facing out, until they meet in the center. Press edges.

Stitch the raw edges together, wrong sides together, with a ¼” seam. Press open.

Lay the sleeve, seam side down on the back of the quilt just below the upper binding seam. Hand stitch the sleeve to the back along the crease lines. The sleeve will bulge up in the center so the rod fits into the sleeve allowing the quilt to hang straight instead of curving around the rod.

Display Board Guidelines for Fair 4-H Exhibits Display boards are the only board that can be used for 4-H projects. The standardized display board size of 4 ft. x 3 ft. is to be used. Display boards are great ways to share that information, but when viewers walk by, they spend only 60-90 seconds looking at each display board. Make yours stand out by highlighting the main points of your project in a fun, interesting way. Follow these guidelines to create a display board for the fair.

TEXT SHAPE Design your exhibit so information fits on the display. Remember, you have 1 large surface, and 2 smaller side wings.

Make sure that all the text on your display is easy to read. Use a large font for the title, and smaller fonts for the headings and body text. Text must be readable from 3-5 feet away. Use large bold letters. Dark letters on a light background works best.

SPACE Your display should only discuss one main topic. This will help it look neat and un-crowded. ATTACHMENTS When attaching pictures or objects to your board make sure they are secure. Use glue for pictures and paper, and consider wires, zip ties or staples to attach bulkier items.

SIZE Display boards for the state fair must measure 4 ft. wide x 3 ft. tall. They should be made of lightweight cardboard, but not poster board. Pre-cut boards are available at most craft and shopping centers.

Do not attach items that are so heavy that your board can’t stand.

No part of your display may extend beyond these boundaries.

DISPLAY BOOKS Your e-record book should accompany your board. You may use 3-ring binders or other notebook that will keep the pages securely inside. You may not use slider-type binders. Sample Label Please place a label with the following information in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover: Club Name, Name, 4-H Age, Project Area, and Class

Club Name Jane Doe 4-H Age 15 Vet Science Class 007

Exhibits should be washed and varieties identified. Sheaf Exhibits - Sheaves of small grain and grass should be 3 inches in diameter at center tie. Small grain and grass sheaves will be judged on sheaf construction, head type, and quality of straw and seed. Alfalfa and grass hay bales will be judged based on crude protein (40 percent); relative feed value (35 percent); as well as judge’s evaluation on color, freedom from weeds, molds, and undesirable odors (25 percent of total score).

Definitions: Carving –is where you cut into the leather (usually swivel knife) as part of the design you are tooling. Tooling –is where you use impressions made from tools to form a design. Solid color dying—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 of any kind. 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.

Matting Photo Guidelines Matting adds dimension to compliment and accent the photo. Matting will help focus attention on the photos and add visual interest along with balance to a layout. Matting a photo means to put a border around it. Choose a color that brings out another color in the photo but is different than the background color. Light matte colors will help lighten a dark photo and a dark mat color will make the colors look deeper and richer. For county and state fair display, please select a photo that is 5” x 7” in size that is one of the photo techniques you are using within your unit (read specific requirements for each unit). The maximum size for the matted photo will be 8” x 10”. These photos will be hung for display. Please attach string or some type of hanging mechanism for the photo to hang.

IX. HEALTH REGULATIONS

Given the significant numbers of livestock and other animals commingling at the Weld County Fair, one of Colorado’s larger fairs and the Weld County Fair Board’s desire, interest and responsibility to minimize animal health issues as much as possible before, during and after the fair, the board has instituted regulations. These requirements are by no means meant to be restrictive to participants but rather, they are hopefully and ultimately protective and beneficial to all by lessening chances of exposure and spread of diseases, particularly those that are not clinically apparent. It’s common knowledge that the spread of disease is increased significantly when comingling at a venue such as a fair. All animals must have their blankets removed prior to the going through the vet inspection station. That means all blankets must be off when the Vet approaches the trailer. At the Veterinarians’ discretion animals must be unloaded. Be prepared to unload your animal/animals at the request of the vet. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS---ALL ANIMALS AND POULTRY All livestock or animals entered in ANY 4-H/FFA or OPEN CLASS or presented for exhibit or display in any manner such as reenactment participation, horse drawn vehicle demonstration, llama or alpaca display, etc. MUST be accompanied by an official certificate of veterinary inspection (health certificate) issued by an accredited veterinarian within ten days of entry and said certificate along with 1 photo copy presented to appropriate Fair personnel at arrival. All 4-H or FFA animal and poultry show entrants will be inspected upon arrival and prior to unloading as the case may be, prior to being admitted to the Fair exhibit area by a Weld County Fair designated veterinarian(s) or personnel under direct veterinary supervision. Only if necessary to facilitate a complete and sound exam, the animal may be off loaded at the discretion of the

www.weldcountyfair.com

J u l y 2 4 - A u g u s t 2 , 2 0 2 1 • WELD COUNTY FAIR 163

veterinarian. Any relevant health documents should be presented to the veterinarian at the time of arrival inspection. Examples would be rabies certificate on dogs or goat registration documentation. Any 4-H or FFA open show entrant will be required to go through the veterinary inspection procedure similar to all non-open show entrants regardless of other requirements met on entry previously for the open show. In addition, a Fair veterinarian will monitor the general health of the animals daily during the fair. Any livestock originating from a premise under quarantine for any disease are barred from entry. An animal exhibiting any acute sign(s) of an infectious or contagious disease or external parasitism will not be allowed entry. Symptoms of ringworm will be cause for barring unless the veterinary inspection determines the case to be in an inactive state based on lesion stage, symptom duration and/or prior treatment with a generally accepted fungicide. Should any animal other than market animals be sold by private treaty or undergo some other change of ownership in some manner, parties involved should be aware of potential state or federal requirements for certain health testing as well as protective assurances for which they and not the Weld County Fair are responsible. Testing for illicit and illegal drugs and medications will be at the discretion of the Fair Board with the samples collected and methodology of testing to be determined by the Fair Board. Any state or federal regulations that might arise at a time that would make them relevant to any fair activities will take precedent over Weld County Fair regulations. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: SHEEP AND GOATS All sheep and goats entering the Weld County Fair must have an official USDA Scrapie Eradication Program Identification tag. A legible registration tattoo or microchip(EID) in sexually intact goats regardless of age, when accompanied by a registration paper or certification with the registration tattoo recorded on the certificate from a goat breed association is acceptable rather than a scrapie tag. Illegible tattoos or non-readable microchips (EID) must be replaced with a USDA scrapie tag. Pens will be assigned for sheep and goat exhibitors upon arrival and before pens may be set up.

ELIGIBILITY & RULES FOR “CATTLE FOR KIDS” PROGRAMS The Cattle for Kids committee reserves the right to review or change any of these rules on an annual basis before the new Fair Book is printed. Entry forms for these two “Special Awards” programs can be found on the following page and online at www.weldcountyfair.com. Please send these completed forms with your Breeding Beef fair entry. A. $200 COW CALF INCENTIVE AWARD. 1. Cattle For Kids will award $200 to an exhibitor the first time a previously shown (at Weld County Fair) female is brought back to a future Fair as the 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

cow in a cow/calf pair. An exhibitor may enter a female in this program while showing her at the Fair by filing, with Fair staff, the information which will permanently identify this female. That information will be kept on record so the female can be identified to receive the $200 award when she comes back the first time, to a future Fair as the cow in a cow/calf pair. (It does not have to be the first year after she was entered in the program). To receive the $200 award the cow must be owned and shown by the same exhibitor that owned and shown her when she was entered in the program. An exhibitor may not receive more than two (2) $200 awards from this Cow/Calf Incentive program in a given year. A heifer calf initially shown as part of a cow/calf pair will be eligible for the $200 award if she returns to a later Fair as the cow of a cow/calf pair if the required identification documentation is provided (as with other heifers). A cow shown as part of a cow/calf pair that was not previously entered in the program, may be entered and be eligible to receive the $200 award when she is brought back to the Fair in a future year with another calf at side. It will be the responsibility of the exhibitor to provide documentation of a female’s permanent identification, as follows, when she is entered in the Cow/Calf Incentive program. For registered females: a. A copy of the female’s registration papers MUST be turned in with the entry form to Cattle For Kids b. A legible tattoo as indicated on the registration papers. For commercial females: a. At least a two-digit (preferably 3 digits) tattoo in at least one ear (preferably same tattoo in each ear). Tattoo must be legible; Bangs tattoo does not qualify.

$2,000 HEIFER PURCHASE AWARD: A drawing to award, to eligible exhibitors, $2,000 for use toward the purchase of a registered heifer. 1.

2. 3.

4. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

All 4-H or FFA members that show a breeding beef animal at the 2021 Weld County Fair and who will be eligible to show at the 2022 Weld County Fair can participate in the drawing, except previous winners of this award. Eligible exhibitor may only enter at one fair. The drawing will be held at the Weld County Fair Awards Program. All eligible participants (one entry per exhibitor) will have their name put “in the hat” and the name(s) drawn will be the winner(s) of the award. The award money is intended for purchase of a breeding beef prospect that meets the following conditions: a. The animal must be a heifer prospect that is of the appropriate age to be shown at the next Weld County Fair. (i.e. a heifer calf prospect) b. The animal must be a registered heifer of any breed of cattle. Commercial or “non-papered” cattle will not qualify for use of this award. c. The animal must be purchased from a breeder in Weld County or in a county contiguous to (bordering) Weld County in Colorado, but not from the family of the award recipient. Counties contiguous to Weld County in Colorado are Logan, Morgan, Adams, Boulder and Larimer. A breeder will be considered to be located in these counties if the operations and management headquarters for the breeder’s cattle business is located within these counties. A check for the award money will be payable to the seller of the animal – not to the winning exhibitor. The $2,000 does not have to be the maximum amount spent for a heifer. The winner may choose to add some of their own money toward the purchase of a heifer. Documentation of the registration (or eligibility) of the heifer to be purchased must be provided to the “Cattle For Kids” committee before a check will be issued. The winning exhibitor has until February 1, 2022 to identify the purchased heifer and the seller who is to receive the $2,000. If the award is not redeemed by February 1, 2022 a runner up winner will be chosen and will have until May 1, 2022 to identify the purchased heifer and the seller who is to receive the $2,000. The winning exhibitor must enter and show the purchased animal in its respective Registered class at the 2021 Weld County Fair. For 4-H members, the deadline for enrolling a 4-H project is April 30 each year. Each exhibitor will be asked to fill out a form verifying that he or she is eligible to show at the next Weld County Fair and that they wish to participate in the drawing. The final pool of names to be in the drawing will be reviewed by at least two Cattle For Kids committee members and an appropriate Extension Office to confirm eligibility. The Cattle For Kids committee reserves the right to do the following: a. If the winning exhibitor elects to not purchase an eligible heifer, elects to not show at the next Weld County Fair and/or does not purchase an eligible heifer by the designated deadline the Cattle For Kids Committee may give the award to the next runner up. b. If, for any reason, the winner or back-up winner does not redeem the $2,000 for purchase of an eligible heifer, then Cattle For Kids reserves the right to put the money back into the CFK account for use in the future.

RANCH HORSE DIVISION

This division is designed to show the willingness and training of a working ranch horse. A working ranch horse should work on a relatively loose rein with light contact and without requiring undue restraint. The horse should be responsive to the rider and make all transitions smoothly, timely and correctly. This division is a demonstration of the common chores involved in working cattle and general ranch work. The exhibitor should be able to demonstrate horsemanship and stockmanship skills with a quiet and responsive horse both mounted and on the ground. Classes with a roping option require a breakaway Honda or Advanced Roping Certificate. LEVEL 1 COMPETITORS will not be allowed to handle a rope from horseback (no swinging rope or dragging logs see patterns for further direction). A roping certification for Exhibitor & horse being used is to be on file at the Extension office. RANCH RIDING The purpose of this class is to measure the ability of the horse to be a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from performing one ranch task to another. The horse should reflect the versatility, attitude and movement of a working ranch horse riding outside the confines of an arena. The horse should be well-trained, relaxed, quiet, soft and cadenced at all gaits. The ideal ranch horse will travel with forward movement and demonstrate an obvious lengthening of stride at extended gaits. The horse can be ridden with light contact or on a relatively loose rein without requiring undue restraint, but not shown on a full drape of reins. The overall manners and responsiveness of the ranch riding horse to make transitions in a smooth and correct manner, as well as the quality of the movement are of primary consideration. The ideal ranch riding horse should have a natural head carriage at each gait. Each horse will work individually performing the pattern provided by show management, please see Colorado 4-H Hors Show Rulebook for further definitions. SR. & INT. RANCH HORSE INDIVIDUAL COW WORK A copy of the roping certification for horse being used is to be on file at the Extension office to perform the roping option in this class. This class combines the reining ability, stockmanship and roping ability of the rider with the responsiveness of a well trained cowhorse. Each exhibitor will perform individually and will be judged on horsemanship, stockmanship and roping skills. Riders must use caution in working a cow to minimize the chance of the cow being hurt. Each rider will be allowed a maximum of 3 minutes to complete this class. The rider begins their go by calling for a cow to be turned into the arena. Fence work has two parts: boxing and fencing the cow. Rope must be firmly attached to the front of the saddle in a traditional safe manner.

J u l y 2 4 - A u g u s t 2 , 2 0 2 1 • WELD COUNTY FAIR 193

1. Boxing: When the cow is first turned into the arena, the rider must "box" or hold the cow at the prescribed end of the arena, not allowing her to leave. When the rider feels that his/her horse has shown the ability to hold the cow on that end, the rider then allows the cow to head down the fence. 2. Fencing: The rider must turn the cow once each way. The rider should make both turns on the same fence or may be penalized. There will be a center marker at the midpoint of the fence on the long side of the arena. The cow must pass this center marker before being turned back for the first time. After passing the center marker again, the cow is turned back for the second time. When going down the fence, the rider should turn the cow back before reaching the far end of the arena. This shows that the horse has the speed to catch the cow and the ability to turn the cow back. After the rider has turned the cow at least once each way of the fence, the rider must take down his/her rope, build a loop, track and rate the cow, rope her and dally, releasing the breakaway honda. The rider is allowed two throws. The judge will score the rider on how well the rope is handled, the manner in which the cow is rated, throws and stops. In order for a catch to be legal, the loop must pass over the cow's head. Any catch that holds after the cow looks through the loop is a legal catch. It is not necessary that the roper catch for the exhibitor to receive a score for the roping portion. However, if there is no catch, a five-point penalty will be taken from the roping score accumulated prior to the attempt to catch. Riders must use a breakaway honda and a 1 ½ dally, if they catch they must stop or slow their horse, keeping the horse facing the cow to release the breakaway honda. If the rider drops the rope, a major penalty will be assessed. The judge may blow the whistle, at any time, to terminate the cow work. The exhibitor should then continue with the roping segment of the class. If the contestant fails to attempt any part of the class, the rider will receive a zero for the part of the class that was not attempted. The judge will whistle the rider off the cow if, the judge feels that the cow is being run too fast or is being abused. The judge will then assess a zero score for that portion of the event. The Judge may blow a whistle at any time to stop the contestant's run if there is a safety concern. Rider's lack of control, equipment failure, or excessively wild cattle would be valid reasons to stop a run. A run that is stopped for safety concerns will receive a no score. The judge, at his discretion, may award a rider a new cow based on the following: 1. The cow will not or cannot run 2. The cow will not leave the herd or the end of the arena 3. The cow is blind or will not yield to the horse 4. The cow leaves the arena When working a cow, rider may hold onto the cantle or the horn of the saddle and shall not be penalized for doing so. Individual Cow Work will be run immediately following Ranch Horsemanship, at the conclusion of the horsemanship pattern, the contestant will call for cattle.

JUNIOR & LEVEL 1 BOX DRIVE Class: Exhibitors are allotted one minute and forty-five seconds to complete the work. Announcer will give a “50 seconds left” time warning. At one minute and forty-five seconds, the announcer will call for time. Exhibitors are not required to use all of the allotted time, but must ride until the judge whistles the end of the run or time expires, whichever occurs first. There are four parts to the work: boxing the cow; setting up the cow and driving it down the fence to the opposite end of the arena; boxing it at the opposite end of the arena and then driving the cow past the middle marker again. There is no expectation that the Exhibitor will make a ‘fence turn,’ rather the drive down the fence demonstrates correct position and control around the corner. • Part One – Boxing the Cow – The rider shall ride into the arena, face the cattle entry gate, and signal for their cow to be turned into the arena. The cow shall be controlled on the entry end of the arena for a sufficient amount of time to demonstrate the horse’s ability to “hold” the cow. If the cow does not immediately challenge the horse, the rider shall aggressively move in on the cow to demonstrate his horse’s ability to drive and block the cow on the entry fence. • Part Two - Set Up Cow and Drive Down Fence to Opposite End of Arena – After the cow has been controlled on the entry end of the arena, the rider shall set the cow up for driving down the side of the arena. • When coming out of corner, the horse shall be close enough to cow to demonstrate control with cow against the fence. This distance and control should be maintained for approximately 1/2 to 3/4 the length of arena. Rider will then stop and release the cow and move horse toward center of arena to set the cow up for boxing. • Part Three – Boxing the Cow at Opposite End of Arena –The Exhibitor will again control and box the cow to demonstrate the horse’s ability to “hold” the cow. • Part Four – Drive the Cow back down the same fence as the first drive, past the middle marker and continue until the judge blows the whistle to show completion. RANCH HORSE TRAIL Exhibitors MAY NOT enter and/or practice trail course prior to entering the class. NO EXCEPTIONS! This class consists of a course of at least six obstacles designed to show a horse’s ability and willingness to perform normal ranch tasks. Course will require all three gaits of sufficient distance to allow the quality and suitability of gaits to be judged. As each obstacle is negotiated, the judge will evaluate the rider’s ability to handle the ranch horse through the obstacles as well as the horse’s performance. Emphasis should be on willingness to perform, manners, response to rider and attitude. Exhibitor may be asked to execute any appropriate test for this division including but not limited to: working a gate mounted; working a gate unmounted; demonstrate building and swinging a loop at any gait; demonstrate swinging and throwing a loop at a roping dummy or steer head; water hazards; drag a log; ground tie or hobble; remove, carry and/or place an object such as a slicker; dismount, unbridle, rebridle and remount.

Refer to Rule book for appropriate attire and tack. Pattern provided by show management. STEER DAUBING No Cross Entering with Steer Stopping. No roping certificate required. A roping box with barrier are required elements of this class. The rider backs up into the heading box with a 4- foot daubing stick dipped in paint. The rider signals readiness for the steer and rides after the steer upon its release. The rider must leave paint on the steer in back of the shoulder, than raise the stick to call for time. Score line shall be 3-4 feet less than length of box depending on cattle speed. One animal will be run by a noncontestant to demonstrate the settings prior to class beginning. Steer must be marked within set markers, once he crosses outside the marker, steer may not be pursued. This event has a 30 second time limit. A barrier will be utilized in this class. A 10 second penalty for broken barrier disqualifications: A. Violating general rules. B. Daubing the steer at any point in front of the shoulder RANCH STEER STOPPING A copy of the roping certification for horse being used is to be on file at the Extension office to enter this class. No cross entering with Steer Daubing. Exhibitor should demonstrate their knowledge of cattle and their ability to control the horse. The judge will score the rider on how well the rope is handled, the manner in which the cow is rated, throws and stops. In order for a catch to be legal, the loop must pass over the cow's head. Any catch that holds after the cow looks through the loop is a legal catch. The horse will be judged on its manners while standing behind the barrier, its rate of speed while chasing the steer, and the ability to stop and turn the steer to face it once the animal is roped, the 4-H project member entered in steer stopping is required to demonstrate many of the same skills seen in heading competition. However, there are no heelers in steer stopping. If the rider fails to catch the horns or neck of the steer within two minutes or two loops he receives a not time. Steer must be caught within set markers, once he crosses outside the marker, steer may not be pursued. This event has a 30 second time limit RANCH ROPING A copy of the roping certification for horse being used is to be on file at the Extension office to enter this class. The purpose of this event is to demonstrate horse control, cattle control and ability to safely catch and secure cattle similar to a ranch environment. The class will have a set number of cattle that are numbered and held in a herd. The contestant will be given the number of the animal and time will start when the contestant crosses the start line and will have three minutes for the catch. The animal is headed and heeled then is secured on the ground by the helpers. The head loop will be removed and placed on both front feet and the heel loop will be placed on both hind feet by the helpers. When the animal is secured and all riders mounted the

www.weldcountyfair.com

contestant will signal the release of the animal. The contestant is responsible for either the head or heel catch. The contestant catch must be made in the three minute time limit. The helper’s job will be to hold the herd, help set up the animal for the catch, and to follow instruction of the contestant in either heading, heeling, or ground work. Scoring will be based on a score of 70 with plus or minus points up to five in each of 7 criteria; Horsemanship: 1. Control 2. Horse demeanor 3. Stockmanship Points will be awarded for control of the horse. The ranch roping horse should be quiet and responsive allowing the rider to take their shots and be accepting to the rope. The rider and horse should be quiet in the herd and show a level of stockmanship in cattle handling. No loping is allowed by the contestant horse. If the horse lopes a 10 point penalty will be accessed unless by judge’s opinion it is for an issue of safety. Rope and Dally: 4. Build and swing loop 5. Catch and difficulty 6. Dally and control Points will be awarded for proficiency with the rope. Including but not limited to build and swinging the loop. Accuracy of throw and ability to catch.

Each missed shot will be penalized by two points. 7. Hold for Ground Work. Points will be awarded for the ability to safely hold the dallies of the rope and control the cow for either the helper to heel the cow and/ or for the ground work to be performed. If contestant does not have an advanced level roping certificate, he must use a breakaway hondo and in that case there can be no points awarded for criteria 6 & 7. RANCH CUTTING Class to be judged on the ability of the rider to work a single cow by first separating it from the herd, then driving it to the middle of the arena and holding it to demonstrate the rider's ability to work the cow and lastly, driving the cow down the arena and into a pen. a. Riders must use caution, in working a cow, to minimize the chance of the cow being hurt. b. Minimum number of cattle in the herd shall be ten. c. Cattle may be either numbered or un-numbered. If numbered, the numbers need to be easily seen by both exhibitor and judge. Note: If a cow is lost back to the herd, it is a five point penalty. If using unnumbered cattle, and the exhibitor switches cows, it will be considered "quitting the cow" and an additional five point penalty will be assessed. d. The contestant will be assisted by two turn back riders who can also work as herd-holders, while the contestant separates the cow from the herd. e. Cattle will be located at one end of the arena. A pen with a wing will be located on the side fence near the far end of the

J u l y 2 4 - A u g u s t 2 , 2 0 2 1 • WELD COUNTY FAIR 195

arena. The wing will stretch to the inside of the arena. A marker will be placed in the arena with a variable distance of 20-40 feet from the side of the arena and the corner of the pen. The marker is to be on the same side of the arena as the pen. There is a 2 ½ minute Time limit. A verbal notification given when 1 minute remains in the run. Time begins when the rider crosses a time line, just prior to entering the herd. The cow's number is then called. The rider will quietly separate his/her numbered cow from the herd and begin their work in the order as described above. Show management may supply two turn back riders, or an exhibitor may supply their own turnback riders. If an exhibitor serves as a turnback rider for someone else, he or she may use the horse that they are competing on, or they may use a different horse. When satisfied that the rider has proven the ability to keep the cow from returning to the herd, the rider will notify the turnback rider(s) to move out of position and to the sides of the arena, so as to allow the contestant to drive the cow by them. After being called off, the turnback riders can no longer assist the rider. However, the turnback riders shall continue to hold the herd, to prevent migration away from the end of the pen. The rider will drive the cow down the arena and into the pen. The cow must be driven between the fence and the marker. A rider will be assessed a 5 point penalty, if the rider does not drive the cow between the marker and the corner of the pen, prior to penning. If the cow passes on the wrong side of the marker, the rider can bring her back and then push her back toward the pen on the correct side of the marker, if time allows. It is not necessary for the rider to pass between the fence and the marker. After each rider works, the herd must be centered before the next rider begins his/her work. The judge shall indicate when the herd is sufficiently centered for the next rider to begin.

SECTION E – Swine/Ruminant Packer Affidavit As a youth livestock producer, I understand that I have an obligation to be a responsible producer and that all market animals will enter the food chain and become edible food products for the consuming public. This subjects every exhibit animal to all state and federal regulations involving proper drug usage and all Food & Drug Administration, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Food Safety Inspection Service, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations. • We, the undersigned, certify that we have read, understand and will abide by all rules and regulations of the Weld County Fair. We agree to the condition that these exhibit animals (identified on this form) may be screened for violative residues and foreign substances. Also, as a condition of entry, exhibitor agrees to a background check for any past disqualifications from other livestock shows. • We certify that these exhibit animals have not received drugs that are not in compliance with label indications or, if applicable, the requirements of the regulations codifying the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic act (under the direction of a valid Veterinary/Client/Patient relationship). • We certify that all animals presented for slaughter have been handled in a manner to prevent a pharmaceutical or agricultural chemical residue violation. Label dosages, route of administration and withdrawal times have been followed, and only approved FDA pharmaceutical compounds have been used for treatment. Any exception to the previous statement has been administrated under a recognized veterinarian-client-patient relationship and proper precautions taken for off-label use. Agricultural chemicals used for herd health management and production of feedstuffs have also been used in compliance with label directions and withdrawals. • If violations are detected, appropriate state and federal authorities will be notified, and regulatory action can be expected. Also exhibitors will be subjected to penalties as determined by show management. • That, all animals are handled humanely according FSIS guidelines. (Directive 6900.1, 6900.2; 9CFR 313 and Notices 17-08 and 16-08) • We further certify the information provided below is correct and accurate and that we have read and understand these regulations and may be relied upon by any person or entity accepting these animals for harvest.

Ruminant livestock (beef, sheep, goats) exhibitors

• We further certify that ruminant animals presented to the Weld County Fair Board for slaughter have been handled in accordance to meeting Food and Drug Administration’s ban of feeding identified mammalian derived protein materials to ruminant animals (21 CFR Part 589). Requirements for establishments and individuals that are responsible for feeding ruminant animals shall entail maintaining copies of purchase invoices and labeling for all feeds containing mammalian derived protein products received for a minimum of one (1) year, and making copies available for inspection and copying by the Food and Drug Administration, if necessary. • That, all animals imported from Mexico and Canada are delivered to Weld County Fair Board from this feedlot were legally imported and have resided in the U.S. for at least 100 days prior to being offered for slaughter.

Swine exhibitors

• We have completed the Treatment Records information on this form for any injectable, water, or feed medication, pesticide or other substance that has been administered to exhibit animals. Use of these products may require additional time to meet legal withdrawal limits before harvest. • We certify these hogs did not originate from a herd under quarantine and there has not been evidence of swine dysentery (Brachyspira hyodysenteriae) in this herd during the past twelve months. • We certify Premise ID number(s) provided is the location(s) the exhibit swine were housed prior to arriving at the show and the exhibitor has an active/current Colorado MQA.

The IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics Form The Weld County Fair is a member of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) who has the IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics. No Participant shall be eligible to make an entry or compete, or having competed, be eligible to win a premium, if they have been disqualified from competition in a member show of the IAFE, or those Livestock Exhibition(s), Show(s), and Sales(s) that endorse The National Show Ring Code of Ethics, or has had a premium withheld or withdrawn on the grounds of rule violations involving deception, misrepresentation, fraud, sabotage, tampering or unethical fitting.

International Association of Fairs and Expositions National Code of Show Ring Ethics

Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times conduct 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 junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics,” fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels. All youth leaders working with junior 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. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock shows. 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: 1. 2. 3. 4.

6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

11.

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. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians upon request by fair or livestock show officials. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows. Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person 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. 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. At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, 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. 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 hoofs 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. 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. 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. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person 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 an owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or participant 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. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to have disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show for violation of this Code of Show Ring Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or livestock show without recourse against the fair or livestock show. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show may be published with the name of the violator or violators in any publication of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and Expositions and any special notices to members. The act of entering of an animal in a fair or livestock show is the giving of verification by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person that he or she has read the IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics and understands the consequences of and penalties provided for actions prohibited 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.

I have read, understand and agree to abide by The IAFE National Show Ring Code of Ethics at the Weld County Fair. _______________________________ Parent/Guardian Printed Name
