Uintah Basin Jr. Livestock Show 2018
Premium and Rule Book
Welcome Exhibitors and Families
Dear Exhibitors, Parents and Leaders, The 2018 Uintah Basin Junior Livestock Show will be as exciting and challenging as ever. The Livestock Show offers many opportunities for our youth. The knowledge, hard work, and dedication that youth develop from being involved with a 4-H and FFA livestock project will provide acquisition of leadership skills and responsible behavior that will follow them for a life time. While exhibitors are present at Western Park, a parent or guardian should also be present. Western Park allows exhibitors to park in the area south of the show arena. However, all vehicles, trailers and RV’s parked in this spot must be moved before 12 noon on Thursday, June 7th, so workers can start setting up for the county fair. Anyone parked in this south lot after 12 o’clock on Thursday may be ticketed. The Uintah Basin Junior Livestock Show Committee along with other volunteers, are dedicated to making this year’s show the best possible. We wish to welcome those exhibitors and their families who have traveled from out of the county and hope your stay with us is a positive one. Again this year exhibitors will be responsible to provide their own sawdust for bedding. A supplier will be available on the fairgrounds. Lacey Horrocks, President Jeff Long, Jhon Horrocks, Vice Presidents

UINTAH BASIN JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW
PURPOSE OF THE SHOW
The purpose of the show is to stimulate interest among livestock breeders and members of 4-H and
FFA Clubs of Utah in feeding and breeding better livestock.
The objective of the show is to furnish interested youth a medium through which they may display
and sell their animals. Particular emphasis is placed on cooperation, showmanship, notations on
market demands, and giving the public a better appreciation of the value and quality of livestock
raised by Utah youth.

were not entered properly on the entry form, or that have not submitted the required fees, or
with the wrong tag number may be dismissed.
3. Each exhibitor may enter no more than two market animals. The animals may be from one species
or a combination of two species. One alternate animal for each species entered may also be listed on
the entry form.
4. Exhibitors will be responsible for delivery of their animals to the show grounds on the day
animals are weighed in and their removal from the grounds after the show concludes. No animal
may be loaded without approval of the Animal Security Chairpersons.
5. Feed and bedding will be furnished by the exhibitor.
6. Any animal not making the weight by 1:00 P.M. on Monday cannot enter market classes, but can

to be washed before crossing the scale. Exhibitors must ensure that their animal’s ear tag is clean and

7. Exhibitors must be in attendance at the show, unless excused for reasons deemed acceptable by
the stock show committee. Exhibitors must attend to their animals and exhibit them in the show ring
6
when called by the judge. An exhibitor must sell his/her own animal. Any exceptions must be
approved by the stock show committee.
8. Portfolios or Record Books:
4-H Portfolios – must be up-to-date at the time of the Livestock Show and approved by the
4-H Leader. Exhibitors will submit the 4-H portfolio with supplementary pages as determined by the
portfolio book committee. Portfolio books are to be submitted when the animals are weighed. The
deadline for submittal of portfolio books will be the end of the exhibitors meeting on the first day of
the show. Books will be judged and given 1 to 5 points, depending on quality, for the Special
Achievement awards. The books will be available to pick-up after Jr. Judging. Exhibitors are
responsible to pick up their books. It is the exhibitor's responsibility to keep track of their portfolio
book.

19. Any animal in the show may be used for Junior Judging.
20. Drug Withdrawal – It is unethical and in most cases unlawful to administer drugs to livestock
within 20 to 30 days of slaughter. Animals too unmanageable to show should be withdrawn from
7
their class rather than be tranquilized. 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 dosages. Please do not put someone’s life in jeopardy.
21. Drug Testing will be performed on Grand and Reserve Champion livestock and any or all other
animals as determined by the committee. Urine and/or blood samples will be taken from the animals
to be tested under the supervision of the show veterinarian accompanied by a committee member,
and exhibitor accompanied by a parent or guardian. If the laboratory results indicate the presence of
forbidden drugs or medications, this shall be prima facie evidence that such substance has been
administered to the animal either internally or externally. It will be the burden of the exhibitor to
prove otherwise. Laboratory reports will be reviewed by the UBJLS committee who will determine
what actions will be taken against the exhibitor which may include but will not be limited to
exclusion from the show for one or more years; loss of all premiums, sales, prizes and awards; and
notification to other shows of the rule violation. The decision of the board will be final.
a. The use of any drug, tranquilizer, sedative, or depressant which alter 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.
22. Any complaint must be in writing and be accompanied by a $25.00 deposit. If the grievance
committee agrees with the complaint, the deposit will be refunded. If not, the deposit will be
forfeited. The grievance committee consists of the Extension Agent, President and First Vice
President.

27. Youth desiring to donate the proceeds of the sale of an animal to any person or cause will need to
state their intention before the sale order is printed. During the sale of the animal, the auctioneer will
let the buyers know that if anyone would like to boost the donated animal, they may do so at the
boost table.
28. If an animal goes through the auction, it must be sold. If an exhibitor is not willing to accept the
sales price, the exhibitor should buy the animal. In which case, sales commission and other fees will
be charged.
29. Animals cannot be bought out of the support pen.
30. A sales commission of 4.0 percent for hogs, lambs and goats; and 1.0 percent for beef, will be
charged to cover the cost of the sale on market animals. A $2 scholarship fee will be assessed for
each animal sold through the sale.
31. Checks for market animals will be mailed 60 days after the show. The committee may hold
checks until payment has been received from the buyers. Buyers must pay their invoices within 45
days of the sale or be charged a service fee of 1.5% per month.

will be taken out of their re-cut check to pay for fees charged by the bank to stop payment.
33. Exhibitors are responsible to clean their pens and have a committee member do a clean pen
check. Failure to do so will result in a $25 cleaning fee to be invoiced to the exhibitor or deducted

UTAH STATE JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW ASSOCIATION OFFICIAL RULES 2018 Show Season (revised 11/2017)
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 of the state who have 4-H or FFA livestock
projects. The Utah Junior Livestock Show Association is given this responsibility by Utah Administrative Rule
R65-8 and Utah Code Section 4-2-2 through the Utah Department of Agriculture and the Utah Legislature. These
rules are 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 of typographical error or inadvertent
omission.
A total experience:
Exhibitors are encouraged to participate in the complete educational opportunity that junior livestock shows
provide, such as the 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 and animal husbandry and marketing skills among the participants.
Tagging:
Local Extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors will publicize tagging information regarding date, places,
etc., and arrange local tagging for Association member shows. Animals must be tagged by ownership
deadline dates. Possession and ownership requirements must be met for each show entered.
Benefits of the tagging system - The tagging program has the potential to improve many aspects of the
junior livestock program, including the following:
o Extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors will be able to see and verify member projects early to
provide more educational support.
o Livestock shows will receive entries early enough to better plan their awards and sales.
o The last-minute purchase of a show animal by a member or his/her parents will be eliminated.
o Extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors will be able to coordinate and cooperate in the tagging
activities necessary in each county.
A. GENERAL RULES
2. Age -- 4-H ages and grades are based on the 4-H year, which begins October 1 and ends September 30.
Categories are determined by a youth’s age and grade on October 1, the beginning of the 4-H year. Junior
members: Grades three – five (3-5) and at least 8 years old as of October 1. Intermediate 4-H Members:
Grades six – eight (6-8). Senior 4-H Members: Grades nine – twelve (9-12). Large animal, shooting sports
and some other projects require youth to be in the 3rd
-12th
grades and at least 8 years of age on October 1,
the beginning of the 4-H year. See the age rules under each specific project area. Eligibility for 4-H
membership terminates upon graduation from grade 12. Seniors may exhibit through the summer of their
graduation year. 4-H’ers are then eligible for collegiate 4-H membership. Individuals with developmental
disabilities who exceed the upper age/grade level for membership may participate as a 4-H member. For
local and state competitive events in which there is a regional or national contest, the age guidelines of the
regional or national contest shall apply. National contest – contestant must already have passed his or her
14th
birthday, and may not have reached his or her 19th
birthday as of January 1 of the year in which the
National 4-H Competitive Event is held. However, the State 4-H Leader may grant special authorization to
compete, for youth with developmental disabilities who exceed the upper age limit. (CSREES/USDA and
National 4-H Leadership Trust, April 2002)
3. 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.
4. 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 show they intend to participate in. No interruption of ownership
or possession can occur.
12
5. Fitting on show grounds -- The fitting of animals will take place in areas designated by the livestock show
committee. 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.
6. Code of Ethics (rules 5-a through 5-i) -- The following practices or procedures are unacceptable in the
care, fitting, preparation and showing of all classes of livestock. Exhibitors found in violation of rule A or
B of this code will forfeit any premium, award, or auction monies and will be prohibited from further
competition at any Association member show for the duration of their junior eligibility. Any violation of
rules C through G or specific rules as designated by individual fairs and livestock shows, will result in
forfeiture of premiums and awards, disqualification, and may result in probationary status and/or loss of
eligibility for future 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 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 alter 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.
13
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. All terminal show market grand and reserve champion animals that pass through a
sale must be drug tested.
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.
7. Dress Code --
4-H - A long or short sleeve shirt, which fastens down the front with a collar, is mandatory. Shirts must

FFA - Either a white shirt, tie and FFA jacket, or a white shirt with the FFA emblem and tie (t-shirts are
not allowed.)
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. Change of Ownership -- Once an animal has gone through any stock show sale, regardless of buyback or
no-sale, it is no longer eligible to enter another state assisted show.
10. Show Eligibility -- Animals are eligible for any show for which they meet ownership and show
requirements.
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.
12. Name Change -- If an animal has been shown in a market show in-state or out-of-state, it must be shown in
the same exhibitor name in all subsequent shows.
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 -- The Extension/4-H agent, FFA advisor, or a member of their appointed committee shall tag
each animal and process the proper forms. Should a tag be lost or pulled out of the animal's ear, the
14
exhibitor will advise the committee supervisor immediately so that the tag can be replaced and the
appropriate paperwork be processed.
3. Market Animal Weights – (see form 1 for schedule of suggested show weights.) Ideal market weights as
determined by the meat industry may vary somewhat from year to year, but the following show-day ranges
are what suggested weights are based on:
Beef: 1,000 – 1,275 lbs 2.65 lbs gain/day
Sheep: 90 – 130 lbs .75 lbs gain/day
Swine: 240 – 290 lbs 1.5 lbs gain/day
4. Extra Animals -- Exhibitors may tag one extra animal per species for each show.
5. Entry Forms & Deadlines -- Exhibitors must check with each livestock show for the 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 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.
6. 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 ANIMAL RULES:
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.

Buying Procedures
Buyers have three options when purchasing animals: Support, Home or Slaughter. Support
If you select this option, you will bid on an animal that you do NOT want to take home or send to slaughter. You place the animal on support. The amount you pay for the animal is the price you bid, minus the market value of the animal. For example: You buy a hog on support for $600.00. The market value of the hog is $200.00. You would pay $400.00 for the hog, but you do not keep the animal.
Home
If you select this option, you will pay the full price for the animal you purchase. Then, you are responsible to transport or arrange to have someone transport the animal from the Western Park on the same day as the sale.
Slaughter
If you select this option, you will pay the full price for the animal, and the animal
will be taken to slaughter for you.
Terms & Conditions of Sale
Buyers are responsible for payment on any and all animals purchased with the bidder number they are assigned.
Buyers are asked to make immediate payment upon receipt of billing. Buyers must pay their invoices within 45 days of the sale or they will be charged a service fee of 1.5% per month. The exhibitors do not receive their checks until the buyers have paid.
All sales are final. Once an animal leaves the sale ring the sale price will be final.
In the event of a tie bid or a dispute, the auctioneer’s decision will be final.
