2. All Market Beef must have been weighed in by January 15th and
Market Sheep and Market Meat Goats by May 15th at a designated
time and site. All livestock must have been identified on Livestock
ID and on file at the Extension Office by May 15.
3. SUBSTITUTE SHOWMAN – Excusing a member from
personally exhibiting his or her animal(s) defeats the important
objectives of 4-H/FFA work. Hence, the management does not
approve the use of substitute showmen except in extreme cases.
If a 4-Her or FFA member is injured or is seriously ill at the time of
the show or is involved in another FAIR activity with a non-flexible
schedule at which their presence is mandatory (i.e. another livestock
show, queen contest, quiz bowl, Pride of Iowa) the 4-Her or FFA
member may submit an application for a substitute showman. The
Superintendents will decide on eligibility. The substitute showman
must be a 4-Her or FFA member eligible to exhibit at the fair, already
exhibiting in the species, and APPROVED IN ADVANCE OF
THE SHOW by the superintendents.
Forms for the approval of substitute showman may be obtained from
the Extension Office or from the extension website. These forms
must be filled out completely and approved IN ADVANCE OF THE
SHOW. If the request is approved, the form will be handed to the
clerk checking the class into the show ring.
An exhibitor, who has more than one animal in a class, need not
secure approval for another eligible showman (someone already
exhibiting in that species) to exhibit one of his/her animals.
However, it is expected such cases will be brought to the attention of
the clerk checking animals into the check-in area or show ring.
No substitution will be allowed for showmanship lots.
4.
All purebred livestock exhibited in breeding classes must be
registered and recorded in the exhibitor's name or in partnership with
parent or guardian prior to the date of showing.
5. In the event of two entries in one class or illness of exhibitor, a
bonafide VoAg-FFA or 4-H member, enrolled per Items 1 and 2 in
General Rules, may show the animal upon approval of the
Department Superintendent.
6. All animals will be placed on a merit basis into blue, red or white
ribbon groups. To be considered for a champion ribbon and/or
trophy, the animals must receive a blue ribbon and be of
championship quality (as designated by judge).
7. All exhibitors must comply with the general rules and health
requirements of the Hamilton County Fair.
8.
Each exhibitor shall wear the official rust-colored Hamilton
County Exposition T-shirt or a plain white T-shirt, and long pants,
when exhibiting in 4-H/FFA Shows. Appropriate shoes (no sandals)
should be worn. When exhibiting in strictly 4-H, a 4-H T-shirt can
be worn. Entrants failing to comply with any of the rules are not
eligible to exhibit.
9. Showmanship-Only Hamilton Co. exhibitors are eligible to
participate in showmanship classes. Judging will be according to
the following criteria, in order of importance: Presenting the animal
in ring; appearance of animal; appearance and merits of exhibitor;
showing any other animals; promptness to arena. The animal brought
into the ring must be the property of the entrant and must be
exhibited in a regular livestock class (Market or Breeding).
10. All livestock superintendents MUST ADHERE to fair checkin times.
11. Any exhibitor removing livestock from pen or stall prior to
6:00 p.m. on Sunday will forfeit premiums, will be stripped of any
titles, and will have a one-year suspension from showing at the
Hamilton County Fair.
12. No straw allowed in any livestock barns. (See Exception) No
bedding is allowed in beef or dairy pens. (See Exception)
EXCEPTION: For health reasons, bedding, including straw, may be
used for milking Dairy Cows only. Wood chips/sawdust/shavings are
allowed in the sheep barns. Sawdust allowed in the horse barns.
Sawdust or shavings must be used in swine pens.
13. Pens must be cleaned and will be checked by Superintendents
following removal of livestock. Exhibitors failing to do so will
forfeit premiums.
14. Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects
or conformation in animals exhibited, such as pumping or injecting
air, will be considered as fraud and deception. This includes no
painting (or black adhesive) above the hooves on beef animals. Fair
officials do not allow the use of diesel fuel on hogs. All animals
giving evidence of such treatment will be barred from exhibition at
the Hamilton County Fair. The Hamilton County Fair Board will
make final rulings. (Exception: False switches will be permitted on
beef and tails extensions on Horses.)

HERDSMANSHIP DIVISION
Herdsmanship will be judged twice a day, everyday during the
county fair. Barns will be judged 1 hour after weigh-ins are
completed and 1 hour after each livestock show is completed. Since
a fair is an educational event for all people of the county, it is
necessary that the barns and other exhibit places be kept clean, neat
and well cared for. Exhibits should look their best at all times for the
public to see.
1. Alleyways
Orderly, open to fair traffic, free from equipment, swept clean,
dry (as possible), and free of bedding.
2. Stalls or Pens
Adequate amount of bedding where allowed, bedding clean and dry,
manure hauled out to correct place, feed and watering pans orderly
and chore pails removed when not being used, gates secured, stall
cards posted and readable, group storage area clean and neat. ALL
Grooming racks must be outside of barn and kept in a Neat
ORDERLY FASHION on grounds and away from entry gates
when not in use. (Visitors need to be able to enter the barns.)
3. Animals
Clean, groomed, as comfortable as possible, securely tied or penned
in correct pen, and animals correctly fed and watered.
REMEMBER: ALL Pens, Stalls, Alleyways and Overall Barns will
be judged after the Junior Livestock Auction on MONDAY, July 28,
2014. Clubs who do not leave their area in an orderly manner will
have to respond to the Hamilton County Fair Board enforcements.
The overall objective of "Herdsmanship" is to encourage
exhibitors to present their livestock, alley, and pen area to fair
goers in an attractive and appealing manner.
Enforcement of these rules will be carried out with the following
procedures:
1. A Warning will be issued for the 1st violation. A special
sticker being placed on their exhibitor card will give
exhibitors a warning. These stickers may not be removed
under any circumstances; records will be kept as to who
receives them.
2. If a second Warning has to be issued to the exhibitor, they
will lose their premium money.
3. A third Warning will result in a meeting with the barn
superintendent, an extension staff personnel, the
herdsmanship judge, and a 4-H & Youth Committee
member, the exhibitor and his/her parent(s). Final result
could be being barred from the next year’s Hamilton
County Fair.
