start now grooming not only your animal but also potential buyers. As
you and your parents do business at various establishments ask the

SOUTHWEST JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW
RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. The Show Management reserves the right to interpret all rules in a manner which
will be in the best interest of the show.
GENERAL
1. Age: Exhibitors must be in the third grade, but not less than 8 years of age as of
January 1 of the current year. Exhibitors can only show through the same season as
their high school graduation, but not past their 19th birthday.
Exception: Disabled persons as defined by Public Law 98-527. In these special cases,
animals must still be the project animals of the exhibitor and be cared for daily by the
disabled person.
2. Group Affiliation: An exhibitor may enter our show only as a 4-H or FFA
member, but not both. Exhibitors must declare one or the other at time of entry.
3. Dress Code: 4-H — A long or short sleeve shirt, which fastens down the front with a
collar, is mandatory. Shirts must be solid white or green in color and need not be
western style. Black or blue denim pants are to be worn. Vests will be allowed. The
following will not be allowed: T-shirts, tank tops, tube tops, or sleeveless shirts. There
is to be a 4-H emblem or patch on all 4-H member shirts.
FFA — Either a white shirt, tie, and FFA jacket, or a white shirt with the FFA emblem
and tie (T-shirts are not allowed). No emblems are allowed on shirts.
Exhibitors who fail to abide by dress standards will forfeit prize money.
4. Ownership of animals: The exhibitor will own, posses, feed, and care for his/her
project animal(s) for not less than 90 consecutive days for market beef, market swine,
market lambs and market goats immediately prior to the show. No interruption of own-
ership or possession can occur.
5. Tagging: The Southwest Jr. Livestock Committee will tag each lamb, goat, hog
and steer at a designated place. Should a tag be lost or pulled out of the animal’s
ear, the exhibitor will advise the committee supervisor immediately so the tag can
be replaced and the appropriate paperwork can be processed. Only animals listed
on the tagging sheets will be eligible for the show. There will be absolutely no
late tagging after the 3rd tagging date. No Exceptions!
6. Tagging Extra Animals: Exhibitors will be allowed 2 tags. Exhibitors’ can show 2 animals in any combination as long as they are not the same species, but
only sell 1, unless you are showing steers exclusively in which case you can
show and sell two steers. Therefore, participants can only tag two animals
total including alternates. 7. Family Alternates: if they are a family unit: sibling, step children, adopted or
1st cousin and animals are kept in the same location. A letter stating the circum-
stances must be presented to the committee to be approved and will be determined
on a case by case basis.
8. Name Change: If an animal has been shown in a market show in-state or out-of
-state, it must be shown by the same exhibitor in the Southwest Jr. Livestock Show.
9. Lamb Docking Rule: Market Class market lambs must be docked so that a repre-
sentative from the State Veterinarian’s office is able to determine that at least one caudal
vertebrae (a portion of the tail) is remaining and his determination is final. If you have
questions about how to dock lambs to meet this rule or how this rule will be enforced
you should contact a member of the sheep committee: Richie Stubbs, Ben Harris or
Jonathan Burton.

MARKET ANIMAL HEALTH RULES & CODE OF ETHICS
This code of ethics applies to anyone exhibiting animals at livestock shows in the State
of Utah. It includes Junior as well as Open Class exhibitors who compete in structured
classes of competition. All classes of livestock offered at the livestock event are in-
cluded. The following practices or procedures are unacceptable and are defined as being
deceptive, fraudulent, unethical, and inhumane in the care, fitting, preparation, and
showing of all classes of livestock. The use of any illegal drugs is prohibited. Legal or
illegal substances used to phenotypically alter the appearance of an animal entered in
livestock events is prohibited (see rule #3). Use of illegal drugs is considered a pre-
meditated act! Furthermore, any information obtained in the practice of illegal alteration
of an animal will be turned over to the proper authorities for criminal prosecution. This
is a one-strike and you are out policy! Exhibitors will forfeit any premium, awards, or
auction proceeds, and will be prohibited from further competition at shows in the State
of Utah, as well as being subject to criminal prosecution if proven guilty.
The following is a listing of guidelines all exhibitors must follow to enter livestock at
organized competitive events.
1. Animal Health: All animals present at the show must be in good health and free
from active infectious diseases (ringworm etc.). Animals must not have open wounds or
sores. All male market animals must be castrated. The fitness of animals to be present at
the show shall be up to the sole discretion of the Show committee and the Show veteri-
narian. Market or Breeding animals that do not meet these requirements or otherwise are
deemed unacceptable by the committee and veterinarian must be immediately removed
from the show grounds.
2. Drug withdrawal: It is unethical and in most cases even unlawful to administer
drugs to livestock within 20 to 30 days of slaughter. Animals too unmanageable to be
shown should be withdrawn from their class rather than be tranquilized. Our local show
committee and the show veterinarian will monitor this situation. By federal regulations,
random testing will occur at slaughter, and animals will be condemned which have been
given any injection or oral dosages of tranquilizers, pain killers, antibiotics, diuretics,
steroids, or other foreign substances during withdrawal periods before slaughter. All
sales money will be withheld in such cases. Bloat medicine and other medications with
no withdrawal requirements may be permissible. Exhibitors need to be aware of po-
tential health hazards to consumers who eat animals that have received any above-
mentioned dosages. Please don’t put someone’s life in jeopardy.
3. Code of Ethics (Rule 3a through 3g).
a. Treating an animal internally or externally, with any irritant, counterirritant, or
other substance used to artificially change the conformation or appearance of an animal
for show is considered unethical, inhumane, and is prohibited. This includes, but is not
limited to, the use of graphite, powders, hemp, artificial hair, coloring, common products
such as fly spray, ointment, or liniment used to the point that it is irritating, or similar
type products. The use of dyes, spray paint, or other artificial coloring which results in
altering an animal’s true and natural appearance and/or color is prohibited. Adding false
hair or hair-like material, fleece, or skin at any point, spot, or area of the animal’s body
is illegal and will result in immediate disqualification. Any liquid or substance not
9
considered part of an accepted and normal diet for livestock is deemed illegal and inhu-
mane. For example: the use of alcoholic or carbonated beverages as a drench or filler,
etc. Immediate Attention Drenching will not be allowed unless the show veterinarian
or a show official is present and is needed for emergency purposes only.
b. The use of tranquilizers, sedatives, or depressants which alter the physical or
physiological state of the animal, is illegal. Exceptions to this rule would be licensed,
certified veterinarians, treatment for a recognized disease or injury, or recommendation
for tranquilizing breeding animals in heat that might compromise the safety of others.
The drugs must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in meat pro-
ducing animals. All exhibitors will advise show management of any drug and/or medi-
cation administered to an animal that might be detected at the time of showing or at meat
inspection. The name of the drug, its purpose, the person who administered the drug,
time, and date of administration will be presented to show management prior to the
showing and sale of the animal. Failure to report this information will result in severe
penalty and/or disqualification. Any use of drugs or substances not approved by the
Food and Drug Administration is strictly prohibited. The use of feed products with Rac-
topamine (i.e.Paylene) is allowed in swine at the legal dose of 9 grams per ton approved
by the Food & Drug Administration. Violation of this rule will result in disciplinary
action, decided by the committee with up to a lifetime ban from the show. All animals
entered into livestock competition will be subject to testing for foreign substances that
exceed acceptable levels established by the FDA, FSIS, USDA, or EPA. During the
livestock event, in the case of an animals requiring treatment, all medication shall be
administered by a licensed veterinarian and the livestock show officials shall be notified.
c. Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin and/or into the
flesh of an animal to change the natural contour, conformation, or appearance of an ani-
mal’s body is illegal. This includes vegetable oil, silicon, or any other substance used to
alter an animals shape. Acceptable practices of physical preparations, which are
allowed, include: clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, or removal of ancil-
lary teats.
d. The use of inhumane fitting, showing, and/or handling practices or devices shall
not be tolerated. For example: breaking of tails, striking of the animal to cause swelling
or for bracing purposes, use of an electrical contrivance, muzzles, etc. is not acceptable.
e. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, show management, other exhibitors,
breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is
prohibited.
f. At the time an animal is sold at auction at the livestock show the exhibitors shall be
held directly responsible for animals that are rejected at the processing center due to the
presence of foreign residues. The seller may be liable to the buyer for an amount equal
to three times the purchase price and may also be liable for attorney’s fees and civil pen-
alties. Show management may share acceptable intelligence and evidence information
with FDA or USDA. If, for any reason, the FDA or USDA inspectors must remove any
part of a meat animal carcass, the market price will be discounted.
g. Show management reserves the right to require animal health certificates. Health
inspection and diagnostic tests may be made before or after animals are on the livestock
show premises for exhibitor and animal safety, or to inaugurate disease control
procedures which may become necessary in emergencies as determined by animal health
officials. Any violation of the “Southwest Junior Livestock Code of Ethics” or specific
rules will result in forfeiture of premiums and awards, disqualification, and may result in
10
Auction Sale
All Market Animals on Exhibit will go on Sale
If you choose to withdraw your animal from the sale you will be a assessed a fee of
Lambs and Hogs $10 and Steers $20. This must be done within an hour after the
completion of that species judging.

Saturday, September 7, 10 a.m. TO THE HIGHEST CASH BIDDER
All animals must be paid for by October 1, 2013. Starting October 1, 2013 interest
will be charged at 18% on unpaid balance.
The person who signs the official sales sheet following acceptance of the bid by
the auctioneer shall be liable for the payment of the full purchase price irre-
spective of any arrangements with others to share all or a portion of the bid
price.
Invitations have been sent out to packers and feeder buyers throughout the state to
attend this sale and a good market is assured for all livestock offered. A competent
auctioneer and experienced helpers will conduct this sale to obtain full value of your
livestock.
Buyers can assist exhibitors by buying animals in the following ways:
1. If you want some superior meat, you can purchase an animal and the show com-
mittee will deliver it to the local meat packer of your choice. He will prepare the
meat as you direct. The entire cost of the animal and meat preparation will be paid
by you, the buyer.
2. Local livestock buyers will establish a base market price for each class of animal
and will take the animals at that price. The value of the animal will be computed
using this base price and will be listed on the sale sheet as a dollar value. You may
increase this animal value for the exhibitor by raising this value in dollars as you
wish. The animals will be sold on a per animal basis. You will be charged for the
increase you make in the total animal value for the exhibitor.
Example: A lamb weighing 120 pounds with a base price of 1.00 per pound will have a
dollar value of $120.00.
You may wish to raise this value by $380.00 give a total value to the exhibitor
of $500.00.
You make a contribution of $380.00 to the exhibitor and the local livestock
dealer pays $120.00 and will take the animal.
In both ways of purchase the difference between the base value and total value
of the animal is tax deductible. If you prefer, you may place an order for purchase
with the auction committee and a trained buyer will bid your order for you.
