Exhibitors will be on hand and ready to show when called for judging. 4. No talking to family members, leaders, or members of the public during any showmanship class. 5. UNIFORM: Traditional whites are required for Showmanship and Round Robin. 6. Showmanship is judged on the exhibitor’s ability to properly show his or her own animal. Therefore, you may enter only one time with each species you bring to the Fair. Example: If exhibitor enters two sheep, only one will be shown in a showmanship class. If exhibitor enters one swine and one lamb, he/she may enter each animal in showmanship. 7. CLASSES: An exhibitor age 9 and 10 as of January 1 of the current year, will be classified as a Junior Showman. An exhibitor age 11 to 13 as of January 1 of the current year, will be classified as an Intermediate Showman.

Exception may be in Small Animal Divisions. The Ramona Junior Fair Board will notify the eligible showman for each species. 13. An exhibitor who wins first place in a Small Animal Class and first place in a Large Animal Class may compete in both Small and Large Animal Round Robin. 14. The spirit of Round Robin is to encourage diversity in showmanship skills and to allow as many participants as possible.

Four classes are judged in Round Robin- Junior, Intermediate, Senior, and Novice Senior in the following two categories. Large Animal- Comprised of the top showmen from the beef, special fed veal, swine, sheep, market/ breeding Boer goat, dairy goat, and dairy cattle divisions.
