Tioga County 4-H Animal Science Rules A. Advance Registration 1. All Tioga Co. 4-H animal fair online entries are due no later than Monday, July 17; and animal health papers and 4-H record books are due in the 4-H Office no later than Wednesday, July 19. 2. A showmanship animal (in all species) must be designated no later than noon (12 p.m.) on Tuesday, Aug. 1. B. Records 1. Exhibitors must have their animal’s registration papers, bill of sale and health papers on the fairgrounds at all times. 2. A 4-H Project Record Book, for each animal species or type (market/breeding) of project entered, must be entered as a 4-H Youth Building exhibit (complete up to the fair) for evaluation. C. Ownership 1. 4-H youth may designate and exhibit a “non-owned” project animal in the county fair, but must adhere to the following conditions: the animal must meet all county requirements, must be accompanied by the appropriate health certificate, must have the appropriate ownership identification papers, can be purebred or grade, and cannot be entered in market classes (due to the Livestock Sale Committee requirements, exhibitors must own all market steers, lambs, hogs, goats, poultry and rabbits). New York Youth Livestock Non-Ownership Policy
2. 3. 4. D. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. E. 1. 2. 3. F. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. G. 1. 2.
The exhibitor, upon request to the event sponsor, shall provide proof of ownership of any exhibit. This non-owner certificate verifies that a 4-H member in New York and the owner of the animal have entered an agreement. A lease agreement allows a 4-H member to use the specified animal as a 4-H project. Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) encourages the use of written lease agreements, however, it is the responsibility of the owner and exhibitor to agree upon the lease terms. Neither CCE nor Cornell University is legally involved in writing, implementing or terminating any lease agreements. The following bill was legally adopted by the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets July 1987. Exhibits shall have been owned by the exhibitor for a period of at least (30) days prior to the entry of the exhibit provided, however, that any animal exhibit entered in a youth fair, youth exhibition or 4-H show or exhibition shall have been in the care of the exhibitor for a period of at least (60) days prior to entry of the exhibit. CCE staff and state program administrators have maintained the following philosophy since 1987. Non-owner/lease opportunities are intended for youth who do not already own an animal of this species type. For exhibition purposes, youth are limited to one non-owned breeding class animal of this species type. The exhibitor must have cared for all owned and non-owned animals in accordance to the due dates on each 4-H Project Animal Ownership paper of their species. Purebred animals must be entered in the exhibitor’s name and use the animal’s registered name, and number. Exhibitors with grade animals must have their bill of sale indicating the purchase date of the animal. Exhibitors with non-owned animals must have their appropriate non-ownership certificates. All animals must be identified with a tag, tattoo, microchip (must provide a reader), or band. Animal Housing All 4-H youth animals, excluding dogs and horses, must arrive on the fairgrounds between the hours of 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday of fair week. All 4-H youth animals must remain on the fairgrounds until officially released at 5:00 p.m. Saturday evening of the fair; except Livestock Sale animals, and dairy cattle which will be released at 12:00 p.m. Saturday of the fair. 4-H livestock (beef, dairy, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, and rabbits) will be housed according to the plan established by the 4-H Animal Science Advisory Committee. Horses may not arrive earlier than Thursday morning of fair week. Exhibitors will be assigned stalls in the order that their fair entry registration and stall deposit were received in the 4-H Office. Stalls must be cleaned after they are vacated. 4-H youth exhibitors only are responsible for the daily care, pen cleaning and feeding of their animals. Younger members may have some assistance from parents and leaders but must demonstrate an ability and desire to care for their own animals. Dogs will arrive just prior to the dog show and must not travel beyond the 4-H grounds. Pen deposits and premiums will be withheld on pens and stalls not cleaned by the 4-H exhibitor at the close of the fair. Feeds, Bedding and Supplies Exhibitors must supply all bedding, hay, grains or other feeds. It is strongly recommended that the supplies are brought to the fairgrounds with the animals. Exhibitors must bring all forks, shovels, feed buckets, water hoses, wheelbarrows, baskets, etc. Horse stall locks are the responsibility of 4-H youth exhibitor. Market Sale Class Animal Market animals will be weighed upon arrival at the fairgrounds, and at 7:00 a.m. the morning of the Livestock Sale. Market animals that don’t make weight will be given an opportunity to show in non-sale market classes. Once entered and accepted by the Livestock Sale Committee, animals must go through the sale. Each exhibitor is allowed a maximum of three sale entries, such as: 3 hogs / 3 lambs / 3 goats / 2 lambs and 1 hog / 1 bovine and 2 lambs / etc. The following exceptions apply: market beef: 1 animal maximum / dairy steer: 1 feeder steer and 1 dairy steer maximum Exhibitors are responsible for presenting their animal(s) in the sale ring. Exhibitors are responsible for their animals until they are trucked to the slaughterhouse. Show Attire Exhibitors must be appropriately dressed, neat and clean. Farm names cannot appear on shirts. See rules for specific species for additional requirements. 2
H. Safety 1. A committee of 4-H staff, the barn superintendent and club leaders will observe the handling of all animals both in and out of the show ring and will have the authority to disqualify any exhibitor for unethical practices. 2. In the case of an unruly animal, adult supervision will be provided for the exhibitor. In any case, the exhibitor must remain with the animal. 3. If, after two days on the fairgrounds, the animal can not be led by the youth and one adult then the animal must remain tied in its stall. 4. If an animal presents a danger to the general public it will be sent home immediately. 5. If an animal poses a safety risk to any of the exhibitors or other animals it will be removed from the ring at the discretion of the barn superintendent, 4-H staff and judges. This in turn will forfeit any class placing, the animal will be ineligible to be sold through the livestock sale, and will be sent home immediately. I. Shows and Sale 1. An animal may not be shown in both breeding and market classes. 2. DECISIONS OF THE JUDGES ARE FINAL. 3. All auction animals will be shown in respective market classes. 4. 4-H members are required to send thank you notes to trophy sponsors and livestock buyers. 5. Any Special Needs exhibitor will be permitted assistance in the show ring/sale ring from a parent, 4-H’er or designated adult. 6. On show days, all care, fitting, and grooming must be done by the 4-H youth. No parents, adults or professional groomsmen may help with project animals.

Tioga County 4-H Animal Science Rules A. Advance Registration 1. All Tioga Co. 4-H animal fair online entries are due no later than Monday, July 17; and animal health papers and 4-H record books are due in the 4-H Office no later than Wednesday, July 19. 2. A showmanship animal (in all species) must be designated no later than noon (12 p.m.) on Tuesday, Aug. 1. B. Records 1. Exhibitors must have their animal’s registration papers, bill of sale and health papers on the fairgrounds at all times. 2. A 4-H Project Record Book, for each animal species or type (market/breeding) of project entered, must be entered as a 4-H Youth Building exhibit (complete up to the fair) for evaluation. C. Ownership 1. 4-H youth may designate and exhibit a “non-owned” project animal in the county fair, but must adhere to the following conditions: the animal must meet all county requirements, must be accompanied by the appropriate health certificate, must have the appropriate ownership identification papers, can be purebred or grade, and cannot be entered in market classes (due to the Livestock Sale Committee requirements, exhibitors must own all market steers, lambs, hogs, goats, poultry and rabbits). New York Youth Livestock Non-Ownership Policy
2. 3. 4. D. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. E. 1. 2. 3. F. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. G. 1. 2.
The exhibitor, upon request to the event sponsor, shall provide proof of ownership of any exhibit. This non-owner certificate verifies that a 4-H member in New York and the owner of the animal have entered an agreement. A lease agreement allows a 4-H member to use the specified animal as a 4-H project. Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) encourages the use of written lease agreements, however, it is the responsibility of the owner and exhibitor to agree upon the lease terms. Neither CCE nor Cornell University is legally involved in writing, implementing or terminating any lease agreements. The following bill was legally adopted by the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets July 1987. Exhibits shall have been owned by the exhibitor for a period of at least (30) days prior to the entry of the exhibit provided, however, that any animal exhibit entered in a youth fair, youth exhibition or 4-H show or exhibition shall have been in the care of the exhibitor for a period of at least (60) days prior to entry of the exhibit. CCE staff and state program administrators have maintained the following philosophy since 1987. Non-owner/lease opportunities are intended for youth who do not already own an animal of this species type. For exhibition purposes, youth are limited to one non-owned breeding class animal of this species type. The exhibitor must have cared for all owned and non-owned animals in accordance to the due dates on each 4-H Project Animal Ownership paper of their species. Purebred animals must be entered in the exhibitor’s name and use the animal’s registered name, and number. Exhibitors with grade animals must have their bill of sale indicating the purchase date of the animal. Exhibitors with non-owned animals must have their appropriate non-ownership certificates. All animals must be identified with a tag, tattoo, microchip (must provide a reader), or band. Animal Housing All 4-H youth animals, excluding dogs and horses, must arrive on the fairgrounds between the hours of 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday of fair week. All 4-H youth animals must remain on the fairgrounds until officially released at 5:00 p.m. Saturday evening of the fair; except Livestock Sale animals, and dairy cattle which will be released at 12:00 p.m. Saturday of the fair. 4-H livestock (beef, dairy, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, and rabbits) will be housed according to the plan established by the 4-H Animal Science Advisory Committee. Horses may not arrive earlier than Thursday morning of fair week. Exhibitors will be assigned stalls in the order that their fair entry registration and stall deposit were received in the 4-H Office. Stalls must be cleaned after they are vacated. 4-H youth exhibitors only are responsible for the daily care, pen cleaning and feeding of their animals. Younger members may have some assistance from parents and leaders but must demonstrate an ability and desire to care for their own animals. Dogs will arrive just prior to the dog show and must not travel beyond the 4-H grounds. Pen deposits and premiums will be withheld on pens and stalls not cleaned by the 4-H exhibitor at the close of the fair. Feeds, Bedding and Supplies Exhibitors must supply all bedding, hay, grains or other feeds. It is strongly recommended that the supplies are brought to the fairgrounds with the animals. Exhibitors must bring all forks, shovels, feed buckets, water hoses, wheelbarrows, baskets, etc. Horse stall locks are the responsibility of 4-H youth exhibitor. Market Sale Class Animal Market animals will be weighed upon arrival at the fairgrounds, and at 7:00 a.m. the morning of the Livestock Sale. Market animals that don’t make weight will be given an opportunity to show in non-sale market classes. Once entered and accepted by the Livestock Sale Committee, animals must go through the sale. Each exhibitor is allowed a maximum of three sale entries, such as: 3 hogs / 3 lambs / 3 goats / 2 lambs and 1 hog / 1 bovine and 2 lambs / etc. The following exceptions apply: market beef: 1 animal maximum / dairy steer: 1 feeder steer and 1 dairy steer maximum Exhibitors are responsible for presenting their animal(s) in the sale ring. Exhibitors are responsible for their animals until they are trucked to the slaughterhouse. Show Attire Exhibitors must be appropriately dressed, neat and clean. Farm names cannot appear on shirts. See rules for specific species for additional requirements. 2
H. Safety 1. A committee of 4-H staff, the barn superintendent and club leaders will observe the handling of all animals both in and out of the show ring and will have the authority to disqualify any exhibitor for unethical practices. 2. In the case of an unruly animal, adult supervision will be provided for the exhibitor. In any case, the exhibitor must remain with the animal. 3. If, after two days on the fairgrounds, the animal can not be led by the youth and one adult then the animal must remain tied in its stall. 4. If an animal presents a danger to the general public it will be sent home immediately. 5. If an animal poses a safety risk to any of the exhibitors or other animals it will be removed from the ring at the discretion of the barn superintendent, 4-H staff and judges. This in turn will forfeit any class placing, the animal will be ineligible to be sold through the livestock sale, and will be sent home immediately. I. Shows and Sale 1. An animal may not be shown in both breeding and market classes. 2. DECISIONS OF THE JUDGES ARE FINAL. 3. All auction animals will be shown in respective market classes. 4. 4-H members are required to send thank you notes to trophy sponsors and livestock buyers. 5. Any Special Needs exhibitor will be permitted assistance in the show ring/sale ring from a parent, 4-H’er or designated adult. 6. On show days, all care, fitting, and grooming must be done by the 4-H youth. No parents, adults or professional groomsmen may help with project animals.
