 Welcome . . .
This is the 97th consecutive year that our communities have supported the Utah State Junior
Livestock Show. That support is not given lightly in this day and age when there are so many
other youth activities that compete for both time and money. I believe that the continued
financial and man hour support is given because people recognize that the Livestock Show
provides valuable experience to our youth. It provides lessons in their youth that can be used
throughout the rest of their lives.

The volunteers that work to put on the stock show have accumulated hundreds of years of
service between them. Some have served for over 25 years. Some will serve for the first time
this year. All are dedicated to making this the best experience possible for our youth. I cannot
express how grateful I am for all the great people that help make the Utah State Junior
Livestock Show the success that it is.

All of us will make the 97th Utah State Junior Livestock Show another great experience.

 UTAH JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW ASSOCIATION OFFICIAL RULES 2021 Show Season

These rules and guidelines are aimed at standardizing junior livestock shows in Utah. Standardization
will help provide the best possible educational experience for the young people in the state of Utah who
have 4-H or FFA livestock projects. The Utah Junior Livestock Show Association is given this responsibility
by the Utah Administrative Rule R65-8 and Utah Code Section 4-2-103(1)(i), 103(1)(m) through the Utah
Department of Agriculture and the Utah Legislature. These rules are to be in effect at any show receiving
funds through the Association. Every effort has been made to insure the accuracy of this information as
it is distributed or published by member shows. However, exhibitors are cautioned that the current rules
and regulations of the Utah Junior Livestock Show Association, as interpreted by the officers of the
Association, will take precedence over such listings due to the possibility oftypographical error or
inadvertent omission.
• A Total Experience:
Exhibitors are encouraged to participate in the complete educational opportunity that junior livestock
shows provide, such asthe rate of gain, carcass, fitting and showing, record book, and livestock judging
contests along with the judging of market and breeding animals. It is the purpose of these projects to
develop life skills, animal husbandry and marketing skills among the participants.
• Tagging:
All animals must be tagged with standardized tags to be eligible to show at any Utah Junior Livestock
Association supported show. Exhibitors will be verified as 4-H and FFA members in good standing by
their county office or FFA advisor. Contact your county extension staff, FFA advisor, or show director for
specifics on tagging animals and being verified within your county.
A. GENERAL RULES
1. Age: -- Utah 4-H Age Divisions are based on a child’s school grade. The Utah 4-H year will begin on
September 1, 2020
• Junior 4-H Members 3rd* through 5th Grade
• Intermediate 4-H Members 6th through 8th Grade
• Senior 4-H Members 9th through 12th Grade
*Youth MUST be age 8 AND in 3rd grade to participate in large animal projects. Youth turning 8 AND in
3rd grade may participate after their 8th birthday during the 4-H year. Please note that youth must turn
8 by the ownership deadline (100 days prior to the show for cattle, 60 days prior to the show for sheep,
goats, and hogs) to participate in the livestock program.
2. Group Affiliation -- An exhibitor may enter a given show only as a 4-H or FFA member, but not both.
Exhibitors must declare one or the other at time of entry.
3. Ownership of animals - The exhibitor will own, possess, feed, and care for his/her project animal(s) for
not less than 100 consecutive days for market beef and 60 consecutive days for market swine, market
sheep and market goats immediately prior to the opening day of the show in which they intend to
participate. No interruption of ownership or possession can occur. Every Grand and Reserve Champion
will be tattooed in the left ear with a CH for champion. Animals with this tattoo are not eligible to enter
and show in any association member shows.
4. Fitting on show grounds -- Parents, guardians, siblings, club leaders, extension/4-H agents and FFA
advisors may assist, and are encouraged to assist the younger exhibitors. However, each exhibitor must
be working with the project animal and be in attendance with that animal during the entire fitting
process.
5. Code of Ethics (rules 5a through 5i) – The following practices or procedures are unacceptable in the
care, fitting, preparation and showing of all classes of livestock. Any violation of association rules or
specific rules as designated by individual fairs and livestock shows may result in forfeiture of premiums
and awards, disqualification, and may result in probationary status and/or loss of eligibility for future

7
participation in Association member shows. Possible civil penalties may be imposed by the proper
authorities based on evidence provided by the livestock show of exhibitors in violation of the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic act/or the animal mistreatment, neglect, and abandonment laws that apply on
the local, state, and national levels. Other member shows will be notified of any action taken by show
management, which may affect the eligibility of the individual, group, or sponsoring organization for
participation at other shows. The decision of the livestock show management will be final.
a. The use of any drug, tranquilizer, sedative, or depressant, which alters the psychological 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 producing animals. All exhibitors will advise show
management of any drug and/or medication 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 animals. 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. 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. This includes any
non-labeled feed additives or substances not approved for that species. During the livestock event, in
the case of an animal requiring treatment, all medication shall be administered by a licensed
veterinarian and the livestock show officials shall be notified. Use of an illegal drug is considered a
premeditated act and any information obtained in the practice of illegal alteration of any animal
will be turned over to the proper authorities for possible criminal prosecution.
b. Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin and/or into the flesh of animal to
change the natural contour, conformation, or appearance of an animal's body is illegal. This includes
vegetable oil, silicon, or any other substance used to alter an animal’s shape. Acceptable practices of
physical preparations, which are allowed, include: clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, or
removal of ancillary teats.
c. 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 considered part of an accepted and
normal diet for livestock is deemed illegal and inhumane. For example: the use of alcoholic or
carbonated beverages as a drench or filler, etc. Drenching will not be allowed unless the show
veterinarian or a show official is present and is needed for emergency purposes only.
d. Each exhibitor has absolute responsibility for the care and condition of the animal(s) they enter and
bring to the show.
e. The use of inhumane fitting, showing, and handling practices or devises 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.
f. 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.
g. Market grand and reserve champion animals that pass through a sale, may be drug tested, at the
discretion of the show.
h. 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 for any reason. 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 penalties. 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.
i. 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.
6. Code of Conduct - All 4-H and FFA members, family members, and associates will exhibit good
sportsmanship at all times. Every exhibitor, family member and associate of exhibitor, is required to
follow the Utah 4-H and Utah FFA Code of Conduct at any Utah Junior Livestock Association sponsored
event. Here are a few points from the Code of Conduct that we want to remind you:
· Have positive character and behavior
· Follow guidelines and rules
· Be responsive to reasonable requests of show management and event staff
· Be respectful of the safety of others
· Dress appropriately, use appropriate language, and respect the rights of others
· Be respectful of property
· Do not behave recklessly, assault, threaten, or harm another person
Be aware that abuse of animals or people of any kind by any member or associate will be cause for
disqualification of the 4-H or FFA exhibitor. If any participant, volunteer, or associate violates the Code
of Conduct or jeopardizes the safe environment of any Utah Junior Livestock Association sponsored
activity or event, that individual will be subject to suspension from further Utah Junior Livestock
Association activities. A suspension is appropriate if there are multiple written statements
regarding the aforementioned behaviors, and if measures have been taken to correct the behavior with
no change. Each situation is evaluated individually and will be discussed with county 4-H and FFA faculty
and staff as appropriate to determine when the suspension can or will be lifted.

7. 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 in color and need not be Western style. Black or blue pants are to
be worn. 4-H patch with the 4-H emblem must be worn on the upper left sleeve. Patches must be visible
during the event. No patch or patch not visible is not considered Official 4-H Dress. Acceptable patches
include any previously manufactured USU patch or other 4-H patches available for purchase through the
4-H mall that includes a big clover. These are available online at https://shop4-h.org. Embroidered or
screen printed 4-H clover emblem are acceptable. Questions regarding official 4-H dress will be deferred
to the Utah 4-H Website or the Utah 4-H representative in attendance of the show.
FFA - Either a white shirt, tie and FFA jacket, or a white collared shirt with the FFA emblem and tie.
The following will not be allowed: T-shirts, tank tops, tube tops, sleeveless shirts and vests. Exhibitors
who fail to abide by dress standards will forfeit prize money.
8. Sales Fee - A sales fee not to exceed 5% will be withheld from sales checks by all state-assisted shows.
Any purchaser(s) of animals from a Junior Livestock Show Auction must pay the Show the full purchase
price of sale regardless of buy-back.
9. Show Eligibility - Animals are eligible for any show for which they meet ownership and show
requirements.
10. Change of Ownership - Once an animal has gone through any stockshow sale, regardless of buyback
or no-sale, it is no longer eligible to enter a state assisted show.

9
11. Lamb Docking Rule – Scientific research indicates that the incidence of rectal prolapsed is reduced
when the tail is docked in a non-extreme manner. The recommended method is to dock at the distal end
on the caudal fold (3rd caudal vertebra). Complete tail removal (extreme docking) is not an accepted
sheep production practice and is discouraged for all Utah Junior Livestock sheep projects. Market lambs
or breeding sheep showing any signs of contagious disease or current or recent signs of prolapse, or
with an open sore on the dock (rosebud), will be sifted from Utah Junior Livestock Shows at the
discretion of the state show vet at the time of weigh in and their determination is final.
B. MARKET ANIMAL RULES:
1. 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 show should be withdrawn from their
class rather than be tranquilized. The 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 potential health hazards to consumers who eat animals
that have received any above- mentioned substances. Please do not put someone's life in jeopardy.

2. Tagging – Tagging policy and deadlines found at https://utahjuniorlivestock.com/junior-livestock-tags.

Should a tag be lost or pulled out of an animal’s ear, the exhibitor will advise the county extension staff,
FFA advisor, or show director immediately so that the tag can be replaced.
3. Entry Forms & Deadlines – Exhibitors must check with each livestock show for entry deadline for that
specific show. Exhibitors are responsible for mailing their own entry form. Entries postmarked by that
date will be accepted. Exhibitor must declare which animals are to be shown, and submit an entry form
and entry fees to the appropriate shows, including State Association ear tag numbers. The tag number
and alternate tag number must be specified on the exhibitor entry form to be eligible. Entries may not
exceed the limits for each show (see form 4) including one alternate animal per species entered. Forms
must be signed by proper Extension/4-H agent or FFA advisor to verify exhibitor and animals are a
legitimate entry for the show they are entering. Extension/4-H agents or FFA advisors should only sign
forms for those youth enrolled in their programs. The Extension/4-H agent or FFA advisor and parents
will verify eligibility for group and family feeding programs. Entry forms for fitting and showmanship
classes must also be submitted by the entry deadline of the show and need to indicate class to be
entered (species) and age of exhibitor. Entry fees will not be withheld from sales checks. Entry fees are
to be sent along with all entry forms.
4. Poultry - In keeping with the desire to help eliminate disease problems, certain counties will not be
eligible to receive turkey poultry from the Moroni hatchery. Exhibitors may, however, have turkey
projects along with family commercial operations. An exhibitor will own, feed and care for his/her
project turkeys for not less than 20 weeks prior to the turkey show. Birds must not be more than 24
weeks of age at the time of the show.
C. BREEDING ANIMALS:
Exhibitors are encouraged to expand their scope of livestock project experience to include breeding
livestock projects.
D. RULE ENFORCEMENT:
The local show has the responsibility to enforce the rules and regulations at their show. Any further
action needs to be submitted in writing to the Utah State Junior Livestock Shows Association Board.
Shows that do not comply and enforce the rules adopted may lose Association funding. If immediate
action is needed, the board of the Utah State Junior Livestock Shows Association is empowered to make
the ruling decision. The State Veterinarian has the final ruling on lamb tail docking and any health issues.

Committee determines that sufficient numbers from individual breeds are entered, classes
may also be separated by breed.

3. Cow/Calf Pairs – Cow/Calf Pairs will be shown together regardless of age, unless sufficient
numbers are entered to justify multiple classes.

qualify for this class, the female must have been bred by the exhibitor and/or their
immediate family. These heifers can also be shown in Class 2.

5. Pen of Three Breeding Heifers **

6. Pen of Three Breeding Bulls **

** The Jr. Livestock Show is again sponsoring a group classification in the Breeding Cattle
Division. This classification will be “Pen of Breeding Heifers” or “Pen of Breeding Bulls”. A
pen will consist of three animals. The heifers may be purebred or commercial and cannot
have produced a calf. The heifers may be bred or open. The bulls must be under 30
months of age.

Pens will be judged on the basis of quality, uniformity and potential asset towards beef
production. These animals need not be halter broke, washed or groomed. They will be
held in pens throughout the show and will be judged in the same competition. Animals
entered in pens need not qualify for breed registration. Bulls or heifers being shown in the
halter classes cannot be used to make a pen of three animals.

METHODS OF BUYING ANIMALS

Personal/Take Home Use
If you would like to purchase a market animal to eat, or a ewe lamb or gilt to take home, use
this method. You will bid on the animal and pay the FULL SALES AMOUNT. After the sale is
final, you will need to show your buyer number and tell the ringmen where you would like
your animal to go. If you are going to send the animal to the processor for your personal use,
simply tell the ringmen which processor you would like the animal sent to. The processor will
then contact you for cutting instructions. Please note: you will be responsible for all
processing fees in addition to the purchase cost of your animal.
Boosting An Animal
If you do not want to purchase an animal for personal use, but you would still like to support a
Jr. Livestock Competitor, you can elect to “Boost” the animal. In this case, you do not get to
keep the animal. You bid on the animal and then PAY THE AMOUNT OF THE FINAL BID MINUS
THE FLOOR PRICE. The floor price is the market value of the animal that the packer will pay to
keep the animal and sell the processed products. This method allows you to support students
in this endeavor, and reward them for their hard work. If selecting this option, bid on the
animal and after the sale is final, show your buyer number and simply tell the ringman you want
to “boost” the animal.

For example: You boost a market steer. Your final bid is $1800.00; the floor price for the steer
was $1456.00; you would pay the final amount minus the floor price.

$1800.00 - $1456.00 = $344.00

(final bid) - (floor price) = (owed to boost the animal)
