SECTION 3 - LIVESTOCK EXHIBITS
All livestock entries must be made in the name of the actual owner in order that
a permanent record is on file. All entries must be submitted using the entry
forms prescribed for livestock. Ear tag numbers of all animals entered must be
recorded on the entry application. Entries may not be accepted unless all required information is furnished at the time of making application (SEE SPECIAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUNIOR LIVESTOCK DEPARTMENT).
Each exhibitor will be required to present certificates of registration for their
entries when called upon to do so by the Superintendent in charge of each
department.
All exhibitors shall not invite or permit judges to examine their animals in stalls or
pens prior to their entering into the show ring for judging. Doing so could subject
the exhibitor to disqualification, and loss of premiums and awards.
Misrepresentations as to breeding or ownership of animals and irregularity or
violations of rules in showing will be exposed. Any premium won by such exhibitor will be forfeited. If any premium has already been paid before the evidence is
given that such a violation has occurred, the exhibitor must refund premium
money to the Saginaw County Agricultural Society or be barred from exhibiting
at the Saginaw Fair in the future. In that premiums also involve partial state
funding, exhibitor will be reported to the Michigan Department of Agriculture for
further action if they so desire.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to refuse admission of any animal or
animals originating from a herd or flock whenever the health status of the herd or
flock is questionable or suspicious.
Health requirements for livestock exhibits are established by the State Department of Agriculture and will be rigidly enforced.
In addition to the above stated rules, exhibitors will be required to follow those
special rules as published for each of the livestock departments.
Premiums will be paid only on animals fitted for show purposes and no animal
shall receive more than one prize in one class.
Should our regular livestock buildings or facilities exceed our normal capacity,
the Board of Directors reserves the right to provide alternate housing in tents or
to limit entries to individuals or farm units based on the need for barn space
SECTION 4 - PREMIUMS & AWARDS
Checks for all premiums will be MAILED as soon as possible following the close
of the Fair. The Fair reserves the right to withdraw all, or pay in part, premiums
offered in all departments should an emergency exist and circumstances demand it.
Premium checks will be voided if not cashed by the close of the current Fair
year. All such un-cashed checks will be voided and funds turned over to the
State of Michigan Unclaimed Properties Division. Once sent, the exhibitor will
have to obtain their premiums from the State of Michigan. The Fair Office will
not reissue any check once sent to the State of Michigan.
Ribbons or certificates have no cash value as to payment of cash premiums, as
premiums are determined and paid only from the judge’s records and in only
those classes wherein cash premiums are noted.
SECTION 5 – JUDGES
Judges will be appointed by the Board of Directors.
Judges will in no case award a premium where there is not merit, even though
there is no competition. Where there is partial merit, an award may be made
accordingly.
Judges will in no case change the rating system established for those exhibits
published in the premium book. Those exhibits with ratings listed as ABC will be
awarded ABC according. Those exhibits with ratings awarded as stated in each

SAGINAW COUNTY FAIR REQUIREMENTS FOR EXHIBITING LIVESTOCK
Due to increased animal concentrations and an increase in disease outbreaks in
recent years at county fairs, it is important to reduce our risk of disease as much as
possible. Bacteria and viruses that cause health issues can be spread through
contact and also through manure and dirt. There are things we can do to help
prevent this spread such as cleanliness and vaccines.
All animals arriving at the fairgrounds must be pre-washed and clean and in a clean
trailer. All animals are to arrive during the allotted check-in time so they can be
inspected. Any animal not arriving clean and at the appropriate time will be sent
home.
Exhibitors SHALL acquaint themselves with those special rules for exhibiting animals at the Saginaw County Fair which can be found in the Special Rules Section of
the particular livestock department they plan on exhibiting, AND those Health Rules
established by the State of Michigan. All health rules and regulations will be
strictly enforced.
Exhibitors may be required to show health certificates as required in the health rules
for the state of Michigan before animals are unloaded and placed in the exhibition
areas. No exceptions.
Exhibitors who are unable to produce the health certificates may be asked to remove their animals from the fairgrounds by the board of directors.
RECOMMENDED VACCINES PRIOR TO FAIR:
CATTLE: All cattle receive a primary injectable respiratory vaccine for IBR, BVDV,
BRSV and PI3. Unless vaccinated in previous years they also receive a booster
vaccine 2 to 4 weeks later. These vaccines should be done 3 week to 6 months
prior to fair. All cattle should also receive an intranasal vaccine for IBR and PI3
three to four weeks before fair. Breeding cattle may also wish to have other types of
vaccines done. You should develop a plan with your veterinarian.
Misc
allow time to deworm if necessary.
SHEEP AND GOATS: All sheep and goats should receive a clostridium type C and
D and a tetanus vaccine (CD/T vaccine) at least three weeks prior to fair. If they had
not received this vaccination in prior years they should get a primary injection and
then a booster shot three to four weeks later.
HORSES: All horses should be vaccinated for Strep Equi, Rhinopneumonitis, EEE,
WEE, Tetanus and Influenza as per labeled directions. Develop a plan with your
veterinarian for these shots and any others they may recommend.
SAGINAW COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
LIVESTOCK DRUG TESTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES 2015
Under the authority of the Michigan Animal Industry Act No. 466, Public Acts 1988,
Section 40 as amended, the Society purpose is to insure, to the best of our ability,
that all livestock shown and sold in the Saginaw County Agricultural Societies livestock and horse program are free from drug enhancing substances.
The Saginaw County Agricultural Society reserves the right to randomly drug test
any market animal (beef, sheep, and swine) and horses entered at the Saginaw
County Fair for competition. Testing may occur at the time of entry, during the fair,
and after competition has been completed. Such testing may be done by either the
collection of urine or blood samples or both at the discretion of the Fair Veterinarian.
All testing will be under the supervision of the fair veterinarian.
The Saginaw County Agricultural Society reserves the right to disqualify any animals, either live or slaughtered wherein the exhibitor/owner of the animal entered
into competition refuses to allow the animal to be tested, or the animal fails drug
testing for substances not approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the
United States Department of Agriculture or the Michigan Department of Agriculture.
This includes, but is not limited to: diuretics, steroids, repartitioning agents, tranquilizers, and analgesics. Exhibitor will notify the fair veterinarian before administering
any medication to any livestock or horses brought in for competition.
Should the testing prove positive, the Saginaw County Agricultural Society reserves
the right to, and may, disqualify the animal from all placing, trophies, ribbons, premiums and awards; confiscation of animal in question; and the voiding of the sale of
the animal if it is to be or was sold in the Junior Livestock Market Sales. All premium
and sale monies will be forfeited and returned to the fair office if received prior to the
testing results being returned from the State Laboratory.
Procedure: In the event that the Saginaw County Agricultural Society feels that drug
testing is necessary because of suspicious nature of an animal’s actions or upon a
written complaint based on personal knowledge to the Board of Directors that an
animal has been injected with or has been given a prohibited substance, the fair
veterinarian will be notified and the following procedures will be performed:
1.
The exhibitor and in the event of a minor, the exhibitor and his/her parents or
legal guardian will be advised that the animal in question is to be tested and
why it is to be tested. They will be asked to sign a testing release form and be
present during the actual collection procedures. The actual collection of the
samples will be performed by the Fair Veterinarian and placed and sealed by
him/her in the appropriate collection containers as provided by the Michigan
Department of Agriculture.
10. The samples shall then be taken or mailed to the Michigan Department of
Agriculture for testing. The exhibitor and in the event of a minor , the exhibitor
and his/her parents or legal guardian will then be notified as to the results of
the testing by the Saginaw County Agricultural Society Board of Directors.
Should the test results come back positive, the exhibitor and in the event of a
minor, the exhibitor and his/her parents or legal guardian will be notified as to
what action may be taken by the Saginaw County Agricultural Society Board
of Directors.
1.
Should an exhibitor and in the case of a minor, the exhibitor and his/her parents or legal guardian refuse to permit such testing, the Saginaw County
Agricultural Society reserves the right to take whatever action may deem
necessary up to and including the removal of all placing, awards, premiums,
and future showing and exhibiting rights in future competitions and fairs.
SWINE: All swine should receive a vaccine for Erysipelas, Influenza and Actinobacillus Pleuropneumonia as per labeled directions at least three weeks before fair.

withholding period or have a stool sample tested negative one month prior to fair to

Hog Calling Contest Rules
We know no East, no West.
Any farmer (real or otherwise)
in the wide world is eligible.
The following percentage will prevail:
1.
Volume, loudness or carrying
capacity of voice
30
Volume is necessary to reach the ears of the hogs,
especially if they are in the back eighty, and the
wind is blowing from the wrong direction. It also
enables the neighbors to know one is at home and
“doing the chores”
2.
Variety
20
A varied appeal is always more effective than a
monotonous, uninteresting call. Variety in calling
might be correlated with a variety of feelings
3.
Charm or appeal to the hog
20
The hog caller’s voice must have the ring of sincerity
and honesty. It must carry convintion to the porkers
or the calling is not a success. Truth will out.
4.
Originality
10
Originality creates interest. The hog should be able
to distinguish its master’s call from those of the
neighbors
5.
Clearness or musical quality
10
happiness aids digestion and hogs enjoy music. A
clear musical call will bring more profit. Singing
school lessons are not wasted.
6.
Appearance and facial expression
of caller in action
10
Facial expression and general appearance of caller
are the surest ways of judging the extent of the
effort.
Entries should be filed at anytime prior to the hour of
contest.
Contest will be held in show arena at 6.30pm Wednesday.
