General Rules and Regulations:

must be made and delivered to the Superintendent of
the proper division by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday unless
another time is requested. Refer to division of the

called. Exhibitors must care for their own livestock
entries. Care and feed will be provided for poultry. No
animal or article unworthy of a premium shall receive
1st place even though there be no competition. Nor
shall any animal or article receive a higher premium
than its merit demands. When there is nothing in a
division deserving a premium, the judge or committee shall make no award. Lack of competition
shall not be cause for withholding a premium, if the
animal or article is worthy. Any person who attempts
to interfere with the judging of exhibits shall forfeit
any award that he or she may be entitled to in that
division. No animal or article shall compete for more
than one award except when the animal is used as
part of a herd or group division. Livestock judges
shall give reasons for their placing at the completion
of the judging of each division. Other judges may be
asked to give reasons for their decisions. Pedigrees
