Livestock exhibitors are to maintain their exhibit area in a clean and attractive manner.
Herdsmanship duties are the responsibility of the 4-H/FFA member.
Clubs will be rated as a club group in eight animal departments: cattle, sheep, swine, dairy,
goat, horse, rabbit and poultry. The total fair presentation by 4-H/FFA groups should show a
spirit of cooperation by each group through all species exhibits. This teamwork within
groups/clubs will broaden and enhance the educational scope of 4-H’ers/ FFA members at the

Each department will be inspected twice daily. Daily scoring on all species for each
club/group will be combined for the daily total score.
Scores are posted where clubs can see their results twice each day.

improve before the next judging occurs.
