General Safety Policies & Procedures
Smoking is not permitted inside barns and buildings. Smoking is only permitted in designated areas on the Fairgrounds.
Cameras are located throughout the Fairgrounds for security and promotional purposes.
Motorized vehicles, including golf cars, are not permitted in any barns or buildings (IFC 313.1). This does not apply to personal mobility devices. A valid

Section 4-3-5).
Electric and gas-powered generators are not permitted on the Fairgrounds.
Fans are permitted, so long as they have proper safety-approved shrouds. See individual department requirements pertaining to size, allowable number,
and placement of fans.
Tents, Canopies, & Stall Coverings
Any tent, canopy, or stall covering in a building must be made of a material to allow for or not block water distribution as well as meet or exceed NFPA
Standard 701.
A portable fire extinguisher must be located under each tent, canopy, or covering.
Fire Safety
The Indiana State Fire Marshals Office conducts regular inspections of all barns and buildings during the Indiana State Fair to identify any potential fire
hazards or threats to life safety. The decisions of the fire marshal are final and will be enforced.
Fire extinguishers are located throughout every barn and building. They may be used for approved purposes only. Do not use a fire extinguisher if you
are not trained on its proper use.
Most buildings and barns are equipped with fire alarm and/or fire suppression systems. In the event of a fire, these systems should be activated.
Emergency exits are clearly marked in all barns and buildings. In the event of an emergency, calmly evacuate through the nearest accessible emergency
exit.
Do not store tack/supplies in aisle or in front of exit door
Severe Weather
In the event of severe weather impacting the Fairgrounds, be it a severe thunderstorm or tornado, you will receive instructions over the barn or building
public address system. If the barn or building is not equipped with a public address system, State Fair staff will notify people in person.
During a severe weather situation, you will be asked to remain inside, away from windows and doors whenever possible. Staff will be instructed to close
all doors and windows, including overhead doors.
Larger barns and buildings will be used for shelter-in-place (points of refuge) to allow Fairgoers to seek shelter. This may cause an influx of people into
livestock areas. Exhibitors should be mindful of this and tend to their animals accordingly.
Food Preparation/Cooking Policies & Procedures
Cooking inside and adjacent to barns and buildings should be kept to a minimum and in designated areas only. The Indiana State Fair Biosecurity plan
recommends that food be excluded from animal areas. If cooking and/or food preparation is necessary, the following policies and procedures must be
followed:
Cooking devices that use open flames, including charcoal and gas grills, exposed heating elements and non-electric power/ fuel sources are NOT
permitted inside or outside barns or buildings.
Approved cooking devices are limited to crockpots, or similar slow cookers, and microwave ovens. Cooking devices MUST have a cover approved for use
with the device and comply with all applicable electrical and fire codes. Cooking devices are also required to be powered by approved cords that are not
frayed or malfunctioning in any way.
Exhibitors cooking in the barns and buildings do so at their own risk and assume liability for their actions concerning food contamination from
pathogens that may be present in or near livestock area.

Animal Wellness & Care
The Animal Wellness & Care Plan (AWAC) was established to reinforce the Indiana State Fairs strong value and belief in the proper treatment of all animals in
exhibition. The Indiana State Fair holds exhibitors of the various species of animals being exhibited to the highest standards in wellness, care and ethics of
exhibition. The AWAC is responsible for ensuring the most up to date standards as well as to be a source for the public to seek answers to their questions
relating to the health and safety of the animals involved in the Indiana State Fair.
Biosecurity
The Indiana State Fair Biosecurity Plan was developed to prevent the outbreak of diseases carried by both animals and humans that spread pathogens that can be
transmitted to and from farm animals, as well as through the food supply. Many of these diseases
and pathogens can be prevented through maintaining the cleanliness of facilities and encouraging good hygiene. The Biosecurity Plan will be enforced during
the Indiana State Fair and all exhibitors are required to comply with it.
All exhibitors must be familiar with and abide by the terms and conditions of the Indiana State Fair.
Failure to do so may result in loss of the privilege to exhibit at the State Fair and/or ejection from the Fairgrounds.
The Indiana State Fair Board is committed to providing opportunities for all 4-H participants to show their animals as
part of the State Fair. The Fair Board also wants to ensure the integrity of its 4-H competitions as is evidenced by the
various terms and conditions set forth in this Premium Book, including its policy with respect to testing for
unauthorized substances in certain animals that are entered into these competitions and the strict penalties
associated with positive results. By e n t e r i n g i n t o t h e s e c o m p e t i t i o n s , you agree to these terms and
conditions and as such, we strongly recommend that you read this information carefully prior to submitting your
entry.

NONAMBULATORY DECEASED ANIMAL POLICY

24. The Indiana State Fair will not unload animals that are nonambulatory (i.e. downer) or unable to walk off the vehicle under their own power. The

expense.
d. Livestock that becomes nonambulatory after arriving at the Indiana State Fairgrounds must be disposed of or removed for treatment
within 12 hours of discovering or receiving notice of the animal's condition. If the animal is treatable and the above committee agrees,

NOTICE: Indiana State 4-H imposes vaccination requirements for cat show participants beyond the requirements of the Indiana State Board of Animal Health
minimum requirements. Check with your local 4-H Purdue Extension educator for those requirements.

INDIANA 4-H PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY:

The Indiana 4-H program serves the youth of Indiana by providing a strong educational youth development program. This program
delivers educational experiences in a variety of settings. Caring, capable, and contributing adults assist in the 4-H program as role
models for youth. The rich heritage of the 4-H program is one to be valued and passed along to future generations. This document sets
out certain standards and guidelines to assure that 4-H is a positive youth development program. County 4-H policy is guided by the
county 4-H policy-making or governing board (i.e., 4-H council) as provided by the County Extension Board. Legal authority for the 4-H
program rests with the Director of Cooperative Extension, Purdue University. No county 4-H policy may conflict with state 4-H policy or
federal requirements. Deadlines for county and state participation should be carefully constructed so as to encourage rather than to
discourage participation. Such deadlines should be well published. Members not complying with established and published dates and
deadlines for exhibition may be denied the opportunity to exhibit. It is the policy of 4-H to be an inclusive organization. No county policy
or practice should be used to arbitrarily exclude youth from either membership or participation. Youth should participate in 4-H Youth
Development opportunities at levels and times that best suit the youth's development and support family involvement.
4-H MEMBERSHIP:
Youth may become 4-H members when they enter the third grade and may continue their membership through the completion of
grade 12. Each individual may continue membership for a maximum of ten (10) consecutive years. An individual's 4-H grade is
determined by their grade in school, regardless of the time of year he or she enrolls in 4-H. A member does not advance in 4-H grade
until he or she enrolls in 4-H for the subsequent school year. Each member should enroll in the division of a project that would best suit
his/her interest and potential for personal growth and would enhance their family involvement. Opportunities in the 4-H Program are
available to all Indiana Youth regardless of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or disability.
Membership in 4-H is gained by annually enrolling through a Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service Office, located in each
of Indianas 92 counties. The 4-H club year usually extends from one (1) annual 4-H exhibit to the next. Enrollment is an annual
process attained by completing individual 4-H enrollment via the 4HOnline enrollment process.
17

COMPLETION:
The completion of a 4-H experience may include a variety of options and must not be misinterpreted solely as
exhibition of a project at a local, county, or state fair. There are a number of ways that a young person may participate in the
4-H Youth Development Program in addition to the club-based option. Participating in these 4-H opportunities enable the
youth to build skills that will serve them well throughout their adult lives. Some of these participation options do not include
the preparation of a specific exhibit by an individual that would be on display at a fair or similar event. In some cases, the
youths actual participation may be the final product that results in their completion of a year of 4-H. Some examples of this
participation include working as a team to develop a robot for a workshop or challenge; completing a Spark Club
experience; participating in State 4-H Band or Chorus; taking part in a science training or experiment; participating in an
after school 4-H experience; etc. 4-H members are considered complete in their 4-H educational experience for the year
when they have (1) completed the 4-H member enrollment process prior to the established and published date for enrolling;
and (2) had an officially recognized 4-H volunteer/Extension Educator verify the existence of the completed project/subject
or the members participation in a 4-H educational experience. Additionally, 4-H members who participate in a club- or fairbased 4-H project/subject will submit a completed 4-H record sheet based on printed or web-based educational materials
(used by Indiana 4-H Youth Development) prior to the established and published date. Though exhibiting in local, county,
and state exhibits/fairs is not required for project completion, as it does not necessarily relate directly to content and skills
learned in the development of the 4-H project, project exhibition is encouraged as a continuation of the educational
experience. Extension employees and volunteers are obligated to eliminate (and should not create) any practices that limit,
deprive, or tend to deprive any youth of opportunities for membership and/or participation in the Indiana 4-H program.
EXHIBITION AT THE INDIANA STATE FAIR:
Exhibition of 4-H projects in local, county or state exhibits/fairs is considered a privilege and is voluntary on the part of the exhibitor. The
exhibition of 4-H projects provides 4-H members an opportunity to display their 4-H projects, enter into competition and participate in an
educational/social environment with their peers. With exhibition also comes the responsibility for abiding by all of the terms and conditions
pertaining to the respective 4-H project. Not following the established terms and conditions of the projects will be grounds for exclusion from
the competition/exhibition or the project itself.
1. An exhibit may not be entered in more than one State Fair 4-H class except in some animal classes where
designated. In a State Fair class requiring more than one item, all items must be exhibited by the same 4-H member.
All parts of an exhibit made in one class must belong to one 4-H member.
2. All 4-H exhibits at the State Fair must be prepared during the current 4-H year. Eligibility rests solely with the State 4-H Youth
Program Leader on entries in all 4-H classes.
3. Any 4-H exhibit removed from display prior to the official release will be disqualified. Any 4-H placings/prizes
(including ribbons, money, medals, trophies, etc.) awarded that exhibit will be forfeited.
4. 4-H exhibitors having an entry in animal classes at State Fair are expected to show their own animals. In cases
where this cannot be done, the owner may request another Indiana 4-H member to serve as a substitute showman.
Substitute showmen must be approved in writing by the 4-H show manager, 24 hours prior to showing of the
animal(s) needing a substitute showman. Requests will only be granted for medical emergencies, conflicts with
showing other animals, or circumstances deemed unavoidable by the 4-H show manager. Failure to be excused
from a job and/or participation in a band or sporting event or practice will not result in a substitute showman being
granted.
4-H ANIMAL OWNERSHIP, POSSESSION AND EXHIBITION:
Each 4-H member shall own his/her own 4-H exhibit. Ownership must be in effect on or before the county and state ID deadlines
and continuously until after the 4-H show at the County and/or State Fair.
1.
For 4-H breeding animals, family corporations and/or partnerships of 4-H members with one or more parents,
siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or legal guardians are acceptable.
2.
For 4-H dairy cattle, family corporations and/or partnerships of the 4-H member with unrelated persons or dairy
operations are also acceptable.
3.
Dairy heifers, horses, ponies, alpacas and llamas may be leased subject to approval of both the county 4-H dairy,
horse and pony, or llama/alpaca committee and the respective County Extension Educator.

5.
4-H animals purchased, sold, or offered for sale after the enrollment deadline and prior to the Indiana State Fair
(including animals that have gone through a "Premium Only Auction"), shall not be eligible to show in the 4-H
show at the Indiana State Fair. Sale of products of animals (milk, cheese, wool, etc.) in lieu of the animal, is
considered equivalent to a "Premium Only Auction."
6.
4-H animals exhibited after the animal ID deadline (April 1 for steers, and May 15 for all other animals) at any show
by anyone other than the person whose 4-H enrollment record is connected to the ID of the animal in Indiana
4HOnline will not be eligible to be shown in the 4-H show at the Indiana State Fair. This term/condition does not apply
to sibling and parents, who may show each others animals at any show during the year without jeopardizing State
Fair eligibility. This policy applies to all 4-H animal projects. For animal projects without ID deadlines, the person who
18

7.
8.
enters them in the Indiana State Fair 4-H show is the equivalent of the owner of the animals.
4-H members showing registered beef, Boer goats, dairy, dairy goats, sheep and swine must present a registration
certificate (no photocopies, carbons or fax copies, except a fax directly from the national breed association to the
Indiana State Fair) to the 4-H show manager before the specified time for each specie, showing that the exhibitor
owns the animal being exhibited, as per ownership terms, on or before the May 15 ID deadline and continuously until
4-H show day at the Indiana State Fair. 4-H breeding beef, Boer goats, dairy goats, sheep and swine must be
registered in one of the following ownership methods:
a. in the 4-H members name; b. John Smith and Sons; c. John Smith, Sons and Daughters; d. John Smith and
Family (family includes sons, daughters, and legal guardian youth only); e. Mark Smith (brother) and Mary Smith
(sister); f. Family corporations, where the 4-H members name appears as a holder of stock in the corporation, and
proof of same must be supplied on or before the enrollment date; g. Family partnership where the 4-H members

4-H member's name appears on the legal, notarized partnership. A copy of the written document must be on file with
the Extension Office before the ID deadline.
4-H breeding beef, Boer goats, dairy goats, sheep and swine will NOT be accepted in the State Fair 4-H Show if they
are registered in a father's name only, farm name only, or partnerships with unrelated persons (such as "Smith View",
"Smith Oak", "John Doe and William Smith (4-H member)", "Long Oak and William Smith (4-H Member)", etc.).

Required registration certificates must be presented to the breed manager at the time tattoos are checked on Friday, stating that the exhibitor owns
the animal exhibited as per ownership terms and conditions on or before the enrollment deadline and continuously until show date. No exception to
this condition will be allowed. Only registration papers issued by the breed association will be accepted - no photo copies or carbon copies and
no FAX except a FAX directly from the national breed association to the Indiana State Fair cattle department personnel.
Animal Identification- Animals MUST have a readable ear tattoo identical to the one recorded on their registration certificate. Only one (1)
number sequence per ear will be permitted. At check-in, any animal which does not have a legible tattoo corresponding to its registration certificate
is ineligible to show in breed classes. Once disqualified from breed classes due to an incorrect or illegible tattoo, animals cannot be re-tattooed
and rechecked at the show. Likewise, new registration papers being sent by a breed association will not change the status of the disqualified
animal. Only county issued, five digit ear tags and 15 digit 840-RFID tags will be permitted. All other ear tags will be removed during the
check-in process.
i. 4-H heifers, steers, and dairy feeder steers may not be shown with ear tags that display wording of any kind. All ear tags that display
wording of any kind will be removed during the check-in process. The 840-RFID tags must remain in the ear.
ii. The first 3 to 5 highest placing 4-H steers in each class will have their RFID tag verified and re-weighed immediately following the
placing of their class. Animals whose 840-RFID tag cannot be verified as the same from prior to May 15 or whose weight increases by
more than 5% from the declared entry weight to the show weight will be disqualified.
i. Exhibitors of purebred heifers must present registration papers from their breed association at check-in. In order for a heifer to be
eligible to be shown in a breed class, the tattoo must be legible and match both the tattoo entered in Indiana 4-H Online and the heifer's
registration paper. Additionally, the 840-RFID tag number entered in Indiana 4-H Online must be verified. Registered heifers whose
tattoo does not match the registration paper but does match Indiana 4-H Online will be eligible for commercial class provided the 840RFID tag number is verified. If the tattoo or 840-RFID numbers do not match Indiana 4-H Online, the heifer is not eligible to be shown
at the Indiana State Fair.
ii. Commercial heifers must have a 15 digit 840-RFID tag, and a 5-digit county tag by May 15 or earlier deadline set by county. Registered
heifers that do not meet their breed's purity requirements as listed in the chart can only show as a commercial heifer if the tattoo and an
840-RFID tag number match Indiana 4-H Online and identity is confirmed on-site at the Indiana State Fair.
iii. The first three (3) highest placing heifers in each group will have their tattoos or 840-RFID tags verified. Heifers whose 840- RFID tags
cannot be verified as the same from prior to May 15 or whose tattoos do not match their registration paper will be disqualified. The top
two placing commercial heifers from each class will be re-weighed and any whose weight increases by more than 5% from the entry
declared weight to the show weight will be disqualified. Subsequent animals will be reweighed in order of placement until two animals
meet the re-weighing requirements. Once a heifer is selected as a champion it cannot be withdrawn from the show by the exhibitor. All
heifers are subject to drug testing at the discretion of the State Fair officials or State 4-H Youth Development officials.
New for 2016: Indiana State Fair recognized breeds (those listed in the 4-H entry book) are required to have a minimum of five (5 market animals
and/or five (5) breeding animals in order to offer breed classes. ISF recognized breeds (those listed in the 4-H entry book) that have fewer than
five (5) market and/or breeding animals will show in an AOP (ALL OTHER PUREBRED) class. Regardless of the number of animals in the AOP
class, premiums will be offered for AOP division. The champion of the AOP division would be eligible for overall champion. Purebred or composite
breeds NOT recognized by the Indiana State Fair 4-H Entry Book will NOT be considered for AOP classification.
A beef steer or heifer enrolled in a particular breed and sifted out, may be changed to the crossbred section before final entries are made at the
state fair entry table at 11:00 am on Friday preceding the 4-H beef show. Animals that are disqualified for failing animal enrollment ID requirements
(e.g. RFID tag, registration numbers, tattoos, birthdates, etc.); will not be allowed to show. A beef steer or heifer enrolled as a commercial or
crossbred animal will not be allowed to switch to a purebred classification after May 15.
If a calf gets away from an exhibitor on the 3rd time it will be eliminated from the ring.

4-H Market Steer Qualifications

1.
Beef steers will be shown by breed (including crossbred and other breeds) and according to declared weight. 4-H members need to hand carry registration
papers for steers to scale for confirmation of ownership against enrollment form. The minimum declared weight for steers will be 800 lbs. There will not be
an upper weight limit for 4-H steers. Beef steers whose weight increases by more than 5% from the declared entry weight to the show weight will be
disqualified.
2.
Dairy beef steers will be listed by declared weight only (not breeds).
3.
The champion dairy beef steer will not be shown in the grand champion market steer drive, but will automatically qualify for the Indiana State Fair
Celebration Award.
4.
There will be a maximum of 10 steers per class.
5.
All Charolais, Dairy and Hereford steers, will be evaluated by a breed classification committee according to their predominant breed characteristics (see
market steer classification guidelines). The classification committee will be appointed by the breed association, and their decisions will be final. Steers
sifted by the classification committee will be allowed to show in crossbred classes.
6.
All Aberdeen Angus, Belted Galloway, Charolais, Chianina, Gelbvieh, Hereford, Limousin, Maine-Anjou, Red Angus, Red Poll, Salers, Santa Gertrudis,
Shorthorn, and Simmental steers shown in the respective breed shows must be registered and must present valid registration from their national registries.
7.
All purebred associations reserve the right to blood type or DNA test steers exhibited in their breed.
39

8.
All Dairy beef must be 100% Dairy blood, but do not have to be registered animals.
9.
Belted Galloway Steers must have registration certificate issued by the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation showing they are at least 50% Belted
Galloway, sired by a registered Belted Galloway bull
10. Once a market steer is selected as a breed champion, it cannot be withdrawn from the show by the exhibitor. The State Fair and/or State 4-H officials
require the grand, reserve grand and breed champion beef and dairy market steers (including the champion crossbreed steer) to be "harvested". Exhibitors
of breed champion market steers, not selected for the Indiana State Fair Celebration Award, will receive live market value for their animal in addition to State
Fair premium money.
11. Breed Verification Screening Options- All beef breeds (including dairy beef) may use one of the following four screening methods to ensure that steers
meet the breed specifications listed in the 4-H Handbook/Premium List:
1.
Screen the steers utilizing a three-person breed classification committee (using classifiers appointed by the breed association) and
require a registration certificate and a legible tattoo that is identical to the tattoo listed on the animal's registration paper. The Hereford
and Red Angus breeds will use this method.
2.
Screen the steers utilizing a three-person breed classification committee (using classifiers appointed by the breed association) and not require
a registration certificate. The breed using this method is: Dairy beef. Dairy Steers/Feeder Steers sifted by screening committee will be eligible
to show in a class by themselves but not eligible to receive premiums or show for champion.
3.
Require a registration certificate (that meets the breed's requirement for breed purity) for each steer and a legible tattoo identical to the
tattoo listed on the animal's registration paper. Under this option, the departmental screening committee described previously would not
screen steers for visual markings. The breeds using this method are: Charolais, Chianina, Red Poll, Shorthorn, and Simmental.
4. Require a registration certificate (that meets the breed's requirement for breed purity) for each steer and a legible tattoo identical to the tattoo
listed on the animal's registration paper. Additional screening of steers for breed purity or paternity requirements (i.e. must be sired by a
registered Limousin bull) would be accomplished using a form of biological testing (i.e. blood testing or DNA fingerprinting using blood or hair
samples). Under this option, the screening committee described previously would not screen steers for visual markings. Under this option, the
cattle barn director would disqualify a steer upon receiving notice that the animal in question had failed to blood type to the requirements of the
breed association involved. The breeds using this method are: Angus, Gelbvieh, Limousin, Maine-Anjou,Santa Gertrudis and Shorthorn, Belted
Galloway.

THE DEAN F. TURNER MEMORIAL AWARD will be presented to the exhibitor of the Champion 4-H Dairy Steer.
THE AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION, 3201 Frederick Ave., St. Joseph, MO, will participate in premiums offered in individual classes for the
junior Angus heifers, as included in its standard show classification according to the premium schedule based on the number of head shown. The premium
assistance provided by the American Angus Association for participation in this show is in addition to the premiums offered by the show itself. The
Association contributions will be distributed by the Indiana Angus Association.
A minimum of fifteen (15) head must be shown in the junior Angus heifer classes to receive American Angus Association premium participation.
The show is not required to have all classes to be eligible for premiums.
To be eligible for Association premiums, the entries must be recorded in the sole name of the junior exhibitor and the issue date on the registration certificate
must conform to the individual shows requirements regarding ownership.
Premiums from the Association are paid only to registered Angus cattle and only if the registration number is a part of the show report provided to
the Association. Therefore, all cattle should be registered at the time of entry to make certain they receive the Associations portion of premiums.
The Association does not pay on premiums offered in championship classes. An animal may only be counted one time toward the total count for
premium participation by the Association.
Exhibitors must have the original registration certificate issued by the American Angus Association available for inspection at the show for each animal or
another current proof of ownership issued by the American Angus Association pedigree look up. Any animal upon check-in which does not have a legible
permanent identification mark (ear tattoo marks, freeze-branded marks or hot-branded marks) corresponding to the permanent identification mark on the
registration certificate, is ineligible to show. Once disqualified due to an incorrect or illegible permanent identification mark, animals cannot be re-identified
(tattooed/branded) and re-checked at the show.
Only one person at a time shall lead animals into the show ring.
Exhibitors who participate in shows that accept premium monies contributed by the American Angus Association are subject to the Association Rules as
found in the Breeders Reference Guide of the Association. These rules are found in Part 2;Association Rules. The rules relating directly with the exhibition of
Angus cattle are Part 2: Association Rules; Rule 800 Series; including Rule 800 - 810. These rules can be found at www.angus.org.
Altering the conformation and/or appearance of an animal for exhibition is prohibited. This includes the covering of white skin, false tail heads (or
use of any false hair), with the exception of false tail switches. The use of graphite, powders, hemp or other similar substances used externally are
also prohibited. Other prohibited products include those used internally such as steroids, illegal or unlicensed pharmaceuticals or artificial filling.
Any animal found to be in violation will be barred from showing.
54

At any show for which the American Angus Association appropriates funds toward the payment of premiums, no exhibitors, individuals assisting
exhibitors or member owners at such show shall be allowed to use any coloring agents, on any animal exhibited. The Association may adopt and
implement various tests designed to monitor this prohibition, including but not limited to a "white towel" or "white glove" test. No aerosol cans or
other pressurized containers will be allowed in designated make- up/line-up areas.
All animals exhibited are subject to DNA marker or blood type test to verify accuracy of parentage as covered under the Association Rules and for other testing
as required by the individual show.
Authorized representatives of the Association have the authority to enforce the rules set forth herein as well as in the Association Rules, including the barring of a
registered animal from a livestock show at which it is to be shown, if there are reasonable grounds to believe a violation has occurred.
4-H Beef Premium Schedule

Premiums for all 4-H beef heifer, beef steer, dairy beef, and feeder steer classes will be based on the schedule listed below:

1.
The 4-H beef carcass contest is available for voluntary participation by those 4-H members who are eligible for and participate in the live portion of the 4-H
Beef show at the State Fair. (If there is no packing company available at the time of the carcass contest, the program will be cancelled.)
2.
All those participating in the 4-H carcass program will be assessed a non-refundable entry fee of $15 when steers are weighed-in at the Indiana
State Fair. The Indiana State Fair Beef Carcass Show COOL/Prohibited Feed and Antibiotics Affidavit will be completed at that time. The
following terms and conditions apply to the 4-H beef carcass contest:
a) All carcasses will be evaluated for U.S.D.A. quality and yield grades.
b) All cattle and carcasses must pass U.S. Government inspection. Carcass value will be based upon quality grade, yield grade, carcass weight, and packer
grid parameters.
c) Carcass data will be sent to the exhibitors by the Purdue State 4-H Office soon after the steers are harvested.
d) The executive committee will interpret all terms and conditions and will make decisions on any questions not covered by the terms and conditions.
e) The Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) affidavit must be completed and submitted for all animals entering the carcass program. Any violations to this
and plant restrictions is at the expense of the exhibitor.
3.
Only beef steers that weigh 1,000 to 1,550 (live weight) and dairy beef that weigh 1,000 to 1,650 lbs (live weight) and less than 58" tall at hip will be
accepted. For animals that weigh slightly under the minimum weight or over the maximum weight, one (1) immediate re-weigh will be allowed.
4.
4-H members must indicate at State Fair weigh-in time their wish to nominate market steers for the carcass program. Withdrawals must be made prior to the
beginning of the 4-H market steer show. If more than the allowable number of steers are nominated, the market steers will be selected by the 4-H beef show
manager from the eligible nominees. The number of steers allowed to go to the carcass contest will be announced at the time of weighing. The 4-H steers
selected as breed champions or reserve breed champions will be eligible for the carcass contest. One (1) animal will be selected for each 4-Her before a
second is selected for any 4-Her. The remaining animals will be determined by first withdrawing those animals with the lowest rates of gain.
5.
Urine, saliva, tissue, and/or blood samples may be taken from any or all contest animals at the discretion of the beef department staff and/or fair officials.
6.
Carcasses will compete within the same breed classification as they did in the live market steer show.
7.
The first place carcass from each breed, regardless of number of entries in each breed classification, will be determined if any qualify, as well as the
selection of an overall champion and overall reserve champion carcass. The respective second place entry behind the overall champion will compete for
overall reserve champion honors.
8.
In order to be named 1st or 2nd place carcass in a particular breed, the carcass must grade a minimum of low choice and have less than a 4.00 yield grade and
must have a live weight ADG of 2.0 pounds or greater.
9.
Carcasses will be ranked - 75% on comparative carcass value and 25% on carcass gain per day on test. (The test period is from the date the animal is
weighed in the county until the day of weigh in at the Indiana State Fair.)
10.
Participants will be paid for their animals on the basis of the hot carcass weight and the value of the carcass.
11.
Transportation costs to get the 4-H carcass steers from the Indiana State Fair to the designated packing plant will be paid by the Indiana State Fair.
12.
Note: All steers entered in the State Fair 4-H Beef Carcass program must be dehorned.

4-H Dairy Cattle Classes and Showmanship Qualifications

1.
SHOWMANSHIP CLASS - each breed association is responsible for determining the number of 4-Hers in their breed to participate in showmanship. Only
the grand champion showmen of previous years are ineligible. Awards will be based on the fitting of the animals shown in addition to the showmanship
ability of the exhibitor.
2.
4-H members who compete in the State Fair dairy showmanship classes must show one (1) of their own animals that was exhibited in a halter class of the
4-H dairy show. Each exhibitor will receive a showmanship participation ribbon.
3.
CHAMPION SHOWMAN - a champion Junior, Intermediate and Senior showman from each breed will be selected and they will receive an award provided
by representatives of the state breed association. A 4-H member may show in more than one (1) breed showmanship class per year, but they must have
exhibited in a breed in order to be eligible for that breed's showmanship class. Once a 4-H dairy member is selected as a breed champion showman, they
may not participate in any other breed showmanship classes at the State Fair that year.
Showmanship Description
Grade in school on January 1 of current year.
Junior Showmen - all 4-H exhibitors in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades are eligible. Once an exhibitor is the overall junior dairy showmanship winner, the 4Her is only eligible to compete in the intermediate or senior dairy showmanship classes in future years.
Intermediate Showmen - all 4-H exhibitors in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades are eligible (exception - previous years' junior showmanship winners). Once a 4H member is the champion intermediate dairy showman, they must compete in senior showmanship in subsequent years.
Senior Showmen - all 4-H exhibitors in the 9th grade and above are eligible (exception - previous years' intermediate showmanship winners). The
Champion Senior Showman of each breed (Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn) will be eligible to show for Grand
Champion 4-H Dairy Showman.
JUDGING
1.
The overall showmanship competition will be scored 50% on showing the animal and 50% on fitting (includes clipping) the animal.
2.
If the breed winner in showmanship does not want to compete in the fitting competition, then the runner-up will be eligible.
3.
Each breed champion showman will be scored from 1 - 10 on their showing ability. Each of the judges will score the contestants independently from the
other judges (no collaboration).
4.
The six (6) showmen will then draw numbers out of a hat for six (6) pre-numbered cows or heifers to be fitted.
5.
45 minutes will be given for the showmen to groom the animal they draw.
6.
The showmen will leave their animal before the judge comes in to score the grooming of each cow or heifer from 1 - 10. Again, the judges will work
independently of one another to score the grooming of the animals.
61

7.
The overall showmanship winner will receive $500. The other five (5) contestants will each receive $150.
8.
Contestants must compete in both the showing and fitting in order to be eligible for the cash awards.
9.
10.
Ties will be broken by the lead judge.

The Grand Champion Showman will be selected by the breed judges. One of the 4-H dairy judges will be selected alphabetically within the breeds to
serve as the "lead judge" for the showmanship finals. This person is the Milking Shorthorn judge in 2016.

Hampshire Division
Breed Manager- Justin Rodibaugh, 925 E. Moody Rd, Rensselaer, IN, 47978, (219) 863-1393
1.
The Hoosier Hampshire Breeders' Association reserves the right to pull blood samples from any class winning barrow or gilt and the Champion
and Reserve Champion 4-H Hampshire barrows and gilts for DNA testing to verify parentage and to ensure breed purity by verifying that the
animals are free of the "color gene" and the "stress gene". Gilts and barrows will be required to be "stress gene free" in 2016. If any of the
Champion or Reserve Champion 4-H Hampshire barrows or gilts cannot be verified to the Hampshire parentage listed on the animal's registration
certificate and/or they test positive for the "color gene" or the "stress gene," the animal will be disqualified. If the Champion 4-H Hampshire
barrow or gilt is disqualified (for failing Hampshire parentage verification and/or because they are a carrier of the "color gene" or the "stress
gene"), the Reserve Champion 4-H Hampshire barrow or gilt will be elevated to the champion status, assuming they have passed the DNA
testing listed above.
Hampshire barrow requirements:

1.
Must be black in color with a white belt starting on a front leg. One (1) white front hoof constitutes the start of a belt. The belt may partially or
totally encircle the body. An animal is eligible if the head is black and the body is totally white.
2.
Must possess Hampshire Breed character (ears must be erect and not rounded).
3.
4.
Must NOT have any red hair.
5.
6.
Hampshire gilts must meet the above requirements (except color markings) along with the following:
1.

4-H Market Lamb Qualifications

1.
2.
Exhibitors may show a maximum of four (4) market lambs. The market lambs need not be of the same breed.
All market lambs must be under one (1) year-of-age on show day and still have their lamb's teeth intact.
3.
4-H members may not show the same ewe lamb as both a market lamb and a breeding ewe in the 4-H sheep show at the Indiana State Fair in any given
year. A ewe lamb can, however, be shown as a 4-H market lamb one (1) year and then shown as a yearling breeding ewe the following year.
Any lambs showing evidence of testicular tissue are ineligible. If testicular tissue is discovered in a lamb during the "harvesting" procedure, the exhibitor will
receive market value for the carcass, will be disqualified and forfeit all entry fees, premium and prize money.
Market Lambs must arrive show ready. This means slick shorn at a uniform length (1/8 inch or less) with no wool between hock/knee and
ears. No Mechanical Clippers allowed in the barn during the market lamb show.
All market lambs will be unloaded and presented without blankets for close inspection by designated department staff.
No painting of animals allowed during the market lamb show
Classes will be divided using the lamb's declared weight. After the top placing animals are re- weighed, market lambs actual weight must be at least 70
pounds and no more than 6lbs heavier than their declared weight or they will be disqualified. Weights must be declared; and cards turned into office by the time
listed in the schedule. Failure to do so will result in the lamb being ineligible to show. All animals are subject to weight verification at any time.
Classes will have a minimum of 5 lambs, and a maximum of 20 lambs.
The three (3) to five (5) highest placing 4-H market lambs in each class will be retinal scanned immediately following the placing of their class. Market
lambs whose retinal scans cannot be matched with the retinal scans taken prior to May 15 will be disqualified.
Purebred market lambs must be born of purebred parents of the same breed and exhibit characteristics consistent with that breed.
Please refer to the Department schedule to see when the breed determination committee; and scales will be available. The animal's card; indicating
the declared weight and that the animal has been screened by the breed determination committee; must be turned into the office by the time indicated
on the schedule.
All breed class winners will show for breed champion market lamb, and the second place lamb to the breed champion may compete for reserve breed
champion.
Division Champions will be selected in market lamb breeds as follows: 6-8 classes = 2 divisions / 9 -11 classes = 3 divisions/ 12 or more classes = 4
divisions
4-H market lambs may not be shown with ear tags that display wording of any kind and will be covered up during check-in. Only official,
county issued, five digit ear tags and scrapie tags will be permitted.

16. All breed champions and the two (2) commercial champions will show for grand champion market lamb. The reserve grand champion market lamb will be
selected from the remaining champion market lambs plus the reserve champion of the breed from which the grand champion was selected.
17. Once a market lamb is selected as a breed champion, it cannot be withdrawn from the show by the exhibitor. The State Fair and/or State 4-H officials require
the grand, reserve grand and breed champion market lambs (including the two (2) champion commercial market lambs) to be "harvested". Exhibitors of breed
champion market lambs not selected for the Indiana State Fair Celebration Award will receive live market value for their animal in addition to State Fair premium
money.
18. Champion market lambs must be displayed without blankets until they are transported to the processing site.
4-H Breeding Ewe Qualifications

1.
2.
A 4-H exhibitor may show a maximum of six (6) ewes from a maximum of 4 breeds. From these six (6) ewes, a 4-H exhibitor may show, a
maximum of two (2) ewes per age division per breed (i.e. spring ewe lambs, fall ewe lambs, and yearling ewes). Divisions (fitted, slick) within a
breed count against the total for that breed. e.g. 1 slick yearling ewe and 1 fitted yearling ewe of the same breed equals the maximum for that
breed. 4-H members may bring one additional ewe for the fitting contest but this ewe may not be shown in 4-H breeding sheep classes.
Breeding ewes painted or colored by any means that alter or misrepresent breed characteristics will be penalized under the fraud and deception rules.
91

3.
Ewe lambs must have been born after September 1st of last year.
3.
Animals exhibited in the ewe lamb classes must still have their lamb's teeth intact. Lambs with broken mouths or showing evidence of
yearling teeth, will show in a yearling class. Determination of yearling ewes teeth will be at the discretion of the judge.
4.
A pair of lambs in breeding classes must both be ewe lambs and may be exhibited by up to three 4-H exhibitors.
5.
Animals shown in pair classes must have been shown as individual ewe lambs or yearling ewes, and the pair must be entered and shown by
the same 4-H exhibitor.
6.
All breeding sheep may be exhibited either shorn or with full fleece except for Shropshire, Southdown and Commercial ewes. All
Shropshire, Southdown and Commercial ewes must be slick shorn for exhibition.
Ewes in any slick sheared class must be slick sheared at a uniform length (1/8 inch) with no wool between hock/knee and ears.
7.
8.
A separate class for slick sheared ewe lambs will be offered for the Dorset, Suffolk, Hampshire, and Oxford breeds. The slick shorn class will
be shown as the first class of ewe lambs in each breed. The Dorset, Suffolk, Hampshire, and Oxford breeds will also offer a slick shorn class
for yearling ewes and this class will show before the fitted yearling ewes.
9.
All ewes must be identified by a retinal scan and an ear tag or tattoo.
10.
The first three (3) to five (5) animals placed in each class will be retinal scanned. Animals whose retinal scans cannot be matched with the retinal scans
taken prior to May 15th, will be disqualified.
11.
Except for commercial ewes, all breeding sheep must be registered, the registration number recorded with the breed association and the papers
(no photocopies, carbon or FAX copies except a FAX directly from the national breed association to the Indiana State Fair) in the possession of the
exhibitor. The breeders tag/tattoo must be worn if required by the breed association.
12.
All commercial ewe lambs and yearling ewes will be weighed for class designations. No blankets on ewes when weighed.
13.
Classes will have a maximum of 20 ewes
14.
Ewe lambs shown as 4-H market lambs at the 2016 Indiana State Fair will not be eligible to show in 4-H breeding ewe classes at the 2016
Indiana State Fair.
15.
Yearling ewes may be shown in the ring by two exhibitors. If two exhibitors are used, the 4-H exhibitor who owns the ewe being shown must
hold the ewe's head. Pairs may have three exhibitors.
16.
The champion ewe in each breed will compete for the Supreme Champion 4-H Ewe. Once a Breed Champion is selected for any
position in the overall Ewe selection that respective Reserve Breed Champion will be allowed to enter the ring for contention for any
remaining spots in the Top 6
Sheep Classes and Showmanship Qualifications

4-H members who participate in State Fair 4-H sheep showmanship classes may only show their own animals that will be exhibited by them in a regular State Fair
4-H class. Showmanship will be judged on the fitting and training of the animal and the showmanship ability of the exhibitor.
1.
ELIGIBILITY FOR SHOWMANSHIP

Each 4-H member who competes in the State Fair 4-H market lamb show may enter the market lamb showmanship contest. Also, each 4-Her who
competes in the State Fair 4-H breeding ewe show may enter the breeding ewe showmanship. Each breed will have showmanship classes, which will not
exceed 25 participants. A 4-H member may show in only one (1) market lamb and one (1) ewe showmanship class. Contestants may compete in both the
market lamb and breeding ewe showmanship contests.
2.
SHOWMANSHIP CLASSES. Grade in school on January 1 of the current year.

a) Junior showmanship - all 4-H exhibitors in the 3rd, 4th or 5th grades are eligible. Once an exhibitor is the overall junior market lamb showmanship
winner, the 4-Her is only eligible to compete in the intermediate or senior market lamb showmanship classes in future years. The same is true for ewe
showmanship.
b) Intermediate showmanship - all 4-H exhibitors in the 6th, 7th or 8th grades are eligible (exception only for any previous year's junior showmanship
winners). Once a 4-H member is the champion intermediate market lamb or ewe showman, they must compete in the senior division of that
showmanship category in subsequent years.
c) Senior showmanship - all 4-H exhibitors in the 9th grade or above are eligible (exception only for any previous year's intermediate showmanship
winners).
In both the ewe and market lamb showmanship events, only one (1) 4-H exhibitor from each breed and the commercial class may show for champion showman.
This is true for the junior, intermediate and senior divisions. Both the champion senior market lamb showman and the champion senior breeding sheep showman
will represent the 4-H sheep department in the 4-H supreme showman contest.

1.
2.
a.
b.
4-H Terms and Conditions- State Fair 4-H exhibitors must have been enrolled in the rabbit project in their county prior to May 15.
a.
b.
4-H rabbits sold, purchased privately or offered for sale at public auction after May 15 and prior to the Indiana State Fair,
(including animals that have gone through a "Premium Only Auction"), shall not be eligible to show.
4-H rabbits exhibited at other shows after May 15 by other than the State Fair exhibitor, sibling or parent will not be eligible to
show.
3.
4-H rabbits must be permanently marked and have a legible ear tattoo in the rabbits left ear. This procedure helps the exhibitor to keep record of
the rabbit breeding; helps straighten out mix-ups which might occur in the State Fair show and exhibit; helps identify any stock that may be
stolen. In case of the death of a rabbit at the State Fair, the marked ear can be returned to the exhibitor, thus proving that the rabbit did die and
thus eliminating any impression that the rabbit may have been stolen.
4.
Substitutions will be accepted during check-in times for ear number only. This ARBA substitution rule supersedes the general Indiana State
Fair substitution term and condition in the General Terms and Conditions as a condition of sanctioning.
5.
All 4-H members are responsible on show day for bringing their 4-H rabbits to and from the judging table. Only 4-H members may show rabbits at
the judging table, no adults. Classes will be called only three (3) times before judging begins.
6.
All classes will be judged according to ages and weights as established by the American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc.; best of breed and best
opposite sex accordingly. The Indiana State Fair 4-H rabbit show has been duly sanctioned under rules of the A.R.B.A., and breed eligibility for
Best of Breed and opposite sex is consistent with A.R.B.A. requirements.
7.
It is not necessary for a 4-H rabbit exhibit to have been a county champion or a selected winner to enter and compete at the State Fair.
8.
Single fryer rabbits may be selected and shown from the same 4-Hers rabbit meat pen.
9.
Animals shown in the fryer, roaster, stewer, and meat pen classes cannot be shown as breed animals.
10. Exhibitors should be aware that animals showing signs of any sickness or communicable disease will be asked to leave the building at the
discretion and upon the final decision from the Board of Animal Health. (Refer also to general health requirements in the front of this book).
11.
12.
No carriers in the barn until you are released by staff after the awards program is finished on Sunday, August
7.
Care and Management- The Indiana State Fair will furnish coops, bedding, water and feed. 4-H exhibitors must bring and use their own feeders
and waterers.
a.
The barn crew will feed and water each day on a regular basis. If the exhibitor wants the barn crew to feed and water they must
155

request a barn crew will feed and water tag. Tags will be provided at the entry table and must be signed by the exhibitor.
b.
Exhibitors will be personally responsible to maintain clean pens and keep an attractive exhibit throughout the Fair. Waste bed-ding
should be dumped into a plastic lined trash container. Clean bedding will be available from the barn crew.
c.
PRIVATE SALE OF RABBITS - an exhibitor may sell 4-H rabbits privately after the conclusion of the 4-H Rabbit show. Offering an
animal for sale prior to this time (including posting a for sale tag on the cage) violates the 4-H animal ownership policy and will result in
the rabbit(s) being ineligible for 4-H competition. (Refer to page 15, general terms and conditions.)
d.
Rabbits will be penned by 4-H exhibitor.
e.
A grooming area will be provided for 4-H rabbit exhibitors. Personal grooming tables will only be allowed in designated areas.
f.
Advertising will not be permitted on 4-H rabbit exhibits, including rabbitry names on cages. 4-H Rabbit exhibitors may wear their show
coats as a safety matter even though the coat may or may not bear their name and/or the rabbitry name.
g.
4-H rabbit exhibitors who desire wire bottom cages should construct their own false bottoms 21" x 21" and raise them 2-3" off the floor
of the State Fair cage. This is particularly important to exhibitors of the "wool breeds" of rabbits.
h.
Meat pen rabbits (three (3) rabbits) will be housed in only one (1) cage.
i.
Carrying cases cannot remain in or be stored in the building. No food, water, or other equipment or supplies may be stored under
caging by order of the Fire Marshal.
j.
Show management and State Fair staff reserve the right to quarantine any rabbit due to health or any other risk to other rabbits. If the
exhibitor cannot be reached, rabbit will be quarantined, and every effort will be made to contact the exhibitor.
k.
Young 4-H members may want to bring a plastic milk crate to carry supplies and to use as a step stool to aid in reaching into upper
level cages.
l.
4-H'er's/Parents: please consider travel time, weather conditions and traffic slowdowns when preparing to transport your rabbits for
the trip to and from the State Fair.

e.
The veterinarians may take each dogs temperature as part of the vet health check.

j.
Aisle ways and exits must be kept clear and open for emergency needs.

m.
Decisions of the judges are final. Video cameras may be used for personal use but will not be used to dispute a judges decision or score.
n.

exhibitor. For disability needs, please contact the Indiana State Fair (317) 927-7500.
o.
Appropriate attire is required in all dog show classes. Exposing cleavage, bare midriff, or buttocks is inappropriate, and will be penalized.
Smooth soled boots, high heels, loose fitting shoes, floppy sandals or other unsafe footwear are not appropriate attire. Refer to Drill Team
and Showmanship Terms and Conditions for attire regulations specific to those events.
p.
No bait allowed in the ring or staging area except for showmanship. Having bait in those areas will be a rule violation and be scored
accordingly.
q.
No schedule changes will be made after judging begins each day.
r.

Judging Procedures
Whenever possible, all obedience classes will be judged through a progression of rings, with the same judge passing inspection on a particular exercise for
all participants.
1.
For example, the same judge will evaluate heel-on-leash for all of the dogs in the same class, while another judge will evaluate stand for examination.
On rare occasions, substitute judges may be called upon to supplement show needs.
NOTE: to reduce scent conflict, the order of the dog show for Classes 4 through 6 will be in reverse order (i.e. 6-5-4 classes).
2.
Classes will start at the scheduled time, facilities permitting.
3.
Judges will not wait on any exhibitor. If a 4-H member is not present when their arm band number is scheduled to go into the ring, their number will be
placed at the bottom of the list. Once final score sheets have been turned in to auditing, no further exhibitors will be allowed to show in that class for a
placing.
4.
Score sheets from the 4-H dog show will not be released on show day. However, 4-H score sheets and comment sheets will be mailed to respective 4H exhibitors following the show, along with a notice of the state 4-H dog show evaluation meeting.
5.
Tie scores in obedience classes will be broken as follows: a) scores will be compared for each area of the obedience competition, beginning with the first
exercise on the score sheet and proceeding down the sheet through the successive exercises; b) if the scores are tied in each exercise, the first exercise
on the score sheet will be repeated in its entirety, in order to determine a winner.
6.
A dog fouling in the ring will receive an automatic ten (10) point dock in score.
7.
The high jump will be set at the same height as the 4-H dog measures at the withers rounded to the nearest multiple of two (2) inches. Minimum height is four (4)
inches and the maximum height is 36 inches. (All dogs less than 7.5 inches must jump the four (4) inch minimum.) At the obedience check-in, a handler may
request a 2-inch reduction in high jump height for a dog 7 years or older. The broad jump distance will be twice the high jump height. See the 4-H
Obedience Guide for specific breeds that jump at reduced height and distance.
Obedience regulations not covered by these terms and conditions will be based on the regulations of the American Kennel Club, Inc.
8.
The veterans obedience class is for 4-H members whose dogs are at least seven (7) years-old or are physically challenged. The dog must have
completed at least class 2-B in previous years. Dogs who are physically challenged must be accompanied by a letter from a veterinarian stating that
the dog is unable to perform jumping and/or retrieving exercises. A dog may not be shown in any other obedience class at the Indiana State Fair 4-H
Dog Show, once they have competed in the Veteran's Class.

Agility Terms and Conditions

The 4-H Dog Agility Program is based on guidelines from the United Kennel Club. Some modifications to the UKC rules have been made to provide a program
suitable for 4-H handlers of all ages.
1.
Dogs showing in agility at the Indiana State Fair are required to have shown in obedience at the current State Fair, and must be at least 1 year
old on day of show. Agility is recommended for 1B dogs and higher. Dogs that have been disqualified in Obedience may not compete in Agility.
In situations where the dog completes Agility before they complete Obedience; the Agility Score sheet will be pulled for that exhibitor.
2.
Agility section/classes will be entered as Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced and Excellence. Awards will be granted by that classification,
regardless of dog size. The show committee will place dogs in the appropriate size division based on the height reported on the entry form.
Dogs may be measured at the show to verify accuracy of the reported height.
3.
Each class will offer four (4) divisions based on the dog's height at the withers. Dogs 7 years and over (Veterans) may jump one jump height
lower than their actual height. Make sure you indicate on your entry form if your dog needs to be scheduled as a Veteran.
* Division Toy - dogs up to and including 10" will jump 4" hurdles (note: there is a 4-inch variance allowed on table height for Toy Dogs; so the
table may range from 0-8 inches)
211

* Division 1 - dogs over 10" and up to and including 14" will jump 8" hurdles.
* Division 2 - dogs over 14" through 20" will jump 14" hurdles.
* Division 3 - dogs over 20" will jump 20" hurdles.
The Pause Table will be at the hurdle height for each division.

* All other levels will be off lead at the State Fair.
* Collar tags will not be allowed.
5.
Once all paws have touched contact equipment, the dog must either complete the obstacle or move to the next one. No additional attempts
will be allowed.
6.
Scoring will be based on UKC agility rules starting with 200 points and subtracting performance faults based on a set course time. Time faults
for course times exceeding the set time will be deducted by the amount in seconds over the set time. Toy, division 1, and giant breed dogs
(refer to UKC list) will have five (5) seconds added to the set course time.
7.
Agility regulations not covered by these terms and conditions will be based on the regulations of the United Kennel Club Inc., 100 E. Kilgore
Rd., Kalamazoo, MI 49002-5584, (616) 343-9020, www.ukcdogs.com. For information on obstacle specifications, please contact the State 4H Office (765-494-8433).
8.
If a dog fouls in the ring during the walk through there will be a 10 point deduction in the agility score. If a dog fouls in the ring during the scored run, it will be
excused immediately.
9.
It is highly recommended that agility participants wear athletic shoes for competition.
10.
Handlers who need the aid of supporting devices (crutches, wheelchair, etc.) may request extra time for completion of the course. This
request must be made to the agility committee chair before classes begin that day; and the amount of time allowed will be determined by the
judge.
In Agility, dogs with qualifying scores will place ahead of dogs with non-qualifying scores. In agility, dogs must successfully complete each obstacle on
the course to receive a qualifying score.

Pin Labels: Each pin or vial must contain two labels:
1 Top label is to include collection date, location, and collector name.
2 Bottom label is to include common name and other optional identification data
Box Labels: Box labels (computer generated or neatly printed) are used for orders and families as required (see chart below) and are to be placed flat
against the bottom of the box. Insects must be properly grouped directly under the correct order and family box label. For example, all insects belonging
to a particular order must be placed under that order label. Orders to be used are listed in the reference book ID-401. If family level identification is
required, the insects should be further grouped together under that family label.
EDUCATIONAL BOX:
One additional box (educational), based on the specific theme (see chart below), is required for grades 9-12, in addition to the
insect collection boxes. This box can be created in any manner chosen (without the mounting, pinning or identifying restrictions
specified above).
*Educational Box - The educational box (grades 9-12) is in addition to the insect display box (es). This box should be created in such a

ALL FOOD EXHIBITS ARE DUE BETWEEN 9 AM 3 PM ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3.

Exhibit Introduction
Purdue Extension Food Safety Policy (effective 11/2013):
For food competitions - Filling, frosting, glazing, pie filling, and meringue, (whether uncooked or cooked) are not permitted to contain cream cheese kl, sour
cream, heavy cream, or whipped cream as the nature of these products increases the moisture content and water activity of the food. Foods with a higher moisture
content and water activity can be ideal growing conditions for food borne pathogens, even if the ingredient is part of a batter and baked. Additionally, raw milk, raw milk
products or uncooked eggs/egg whites are not permitted. Eggs/egg whites that have been cooked to 160F (i.e. pasteurized or included as part of a batter and baked)
are acceptable. No home-canned fruits, vegetables, or meats are permitted in products. Recipes must be provided that show which ingredients were used in each part of
the product. Contestants should carefully wash their hands and make sure that their hands do not have any open cuts before preparing foods. Contestants should not be
preparing food exhibits for competition within 48 hours of recovering from any illness. Whenever possible, baked products should be transported and stored in chilled
coolers (41F).
Judges and individuals who will consume products from county and state competitions should be informed that they are at risk for foodborne illness since the
established policy cannot guarantee that an entry which may be a "potentially hazardous food" has been properly prepared or handled before, during or following the
competition. Tasting of a food product is solely at the discretion of the judge. Judges are NOT to taste any low-acid or acidified preserved food, like green beans or
tomato products, and are discouraged from tasting any other home preserved food.
Consumers of competitive food exhibits being sold at auction or used for hospitality purposes should be notified they could be at risk for foodborne illness
since the established policy cannot guarantee that an entry which may be a potentially hazardous food has been properly prepared or handled before, during, or
following the competition.

1. Forms for this project are found on the Indiana 4-H Web site www.four-h.purdue.edu click on "projects" and then on Genealogy to reach downloadable forms.
This project is organized into divisions and not grades for a youth cannot start in Division 3 without first completing Division 1 and Division 2. This is a project
that builds on the previous division information in order to be successful in building your family tree. If you are using a genealogical commercial software
program, you may need to type in or hand write in information required by the Indiana 4-H genealogy project. See 4-H forms on the 4-H website linked above.
Since the current year's exhibit builds on the previous years data collection, only the current year's data collection is required for exhibition.

Geology (750 GO)

1.
Create an exhibit to show the public what you have learned in your geology project. Exhibits must be displayed horizontally, sized 22" x 28," mounted on a
firm backing (foam-core board or other), and covered in clear plastic or other transparent material. You may display your exhibit in an insect display box (18
x 24 inches), orientated horizontally, if you have rock, fossil, or mineral specimens. Be sure to include a label with your name, grade, and county. Choose
one of the topics listed below and use that name for your title. Titles must be on the front of the poster or display box. Include actual specimens in your
exhibit, whenever possible. Notes: You may purchase your specimens and may display rocks, fossils, and minerals. If you purchase a specimen, indicate
when and where you purchased it and the location where you would expect to find the specimen. If you collect a specimen, indicate the county and township
where you found it. Posters and display boxes will be exhibited "standing up" at the Indiana State Fair. Therefore, you need to mount your specimens
securely. Project leaders suggest the following methods: soaking cotton balls in Elmer's glue, hot glue, or clear tub sealant. Place the cotton ball in your
box and put your rock (or fossil or mineral) on the cotton ball and let sit. It will take 1-2 weeks for Elmer's glue to fully harden. Specimens mounted with
Elmer's glue can be removed by soaking the cotton ball in water. Glue remaining on the rock may be brushed off with an old, damp toothbrush. When
exhibiting rocks show a fresh surface to help judges identify the rock; Labels - Include the specific geographical location where you would expect to find
any specimens as well as where you actually acquired it (found, purchased, etc.). Do not identify your specimens any further than phylum and class. There is
one exception to this for fossils which are identified to phylum OR class. Class should only be used for fossils of mollusks, backboned animals, and
arthropods. See Indiana 4-H website: www.four-h.purdue.edu; look under "projects" for the latest updates.

1. For the 4-H Home Environment project, 4-H members at each grade level may choose from three possible exhibit categories: a furniture item and notebook, a
design board (poster and notebook), or a portfolio (notebook). All exhibits must include the Home Environment Exhibit Card, 4-H-1011-D-W. Level 3 participants will
also have a fourth choice: independent study. NOTE: Each level has several options per category from which to choose. We suggest that 4-H members either
choose a different option each year or show how they expanded on the same option (portfolio and furniture categories only) used in previous years.
2. All posters, notebooks, and display boards must include a reference list indicating where information was obtained, giving credit to the original author, to complete
this reference list be attached to the back of a poster or display board, be the last page of a notebook, or included as part of the display visible to the public. A judge
is not to discredit an exhibit for the manner in which references are listed.
C a t eg o r i es
Furniture Item and Notebook - An actual piece of furniture accompanied by a standard notebook (3-ring binder) explaining the who, what, when, where,
why, and how of the chosen project. We suggest including pictures showing where the item will be used. Also, we encourage 4-H members to include
pictures of themselves doing the project, but this is not required. Always place your identification information in the notebook and on the furniture.
Design Board and notebook - standard 22" x 28" poster, displayed horizontally with a firm backing. Design boards must be covered with plastic to protect
and help hold items in place. An identification name tag must be attached in the lower right corner. The notebook is to help explain the who, what, when,
248

where, why, and how of the chosen design. This can be a "before and after project" or "plan in the future" project.
Portfolio - standard notebook (3-ring binder). If 4-H members choose to do this option more than one year, we suggest that they keep the previous year's
materials in the notebook. Place materials for the current year in the front, with the previous year's materials clearly marked or labeled at the back. Always
place your identification information in the notebook.
Other
information:
Color samples - These can be paint samples from a paint or hardware store, or color samples the 4-H member makes with paints or colored pencils.
Other samples - Many hardware or home improvement stores have free samples of wall coverings, flooring, countertops, and cabinet materials that can be
used with the 4-H member's design board or portfolio.
Colored pencils - We suggest using colored pencils when coloring the design board or portfolio. Colored pencils are what professionals use! Keep in mind that the entire
area does not need to be colored in, but be sure to apply enough color to adequately express design ideas. Other methods for coloring will also be accepted. These
could include (but are not limited to): crayons, watercolor pencils, markers, or printing on the computer.

Photography (800 PH)

Requirements
All images are to be original images taken by the 4-H member.
Complete a 4-H Photography Record Sheet each year.
Photos must have been taken since the last project entry date of the county fair.
All poster exhibits are to be mounted on a background board 22" x 28", displayed horizontally, mounted on stiff backing (foam board, corrugated
board, thin paneling, thin luan board - keep it thin and light) and covered with clear acetate/plastic.
Place standard identification label in the lower right hand corner on posterboards and salon prints. Place your identification label on your board and
under your plastic if at all possible. Leave your county ID tag on the exhibit and place the State Fair tag over it for those selected as State Fair Entry.
Number photo prints on your print boards 1 to 10.
Captions under your photographs are not recommended nor are fluorescent posters.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH GUIDELINES:
1
2
3
All images are to be original images taken by the 4-H member. Photography exhibits are to be taken by the 4-H members between county
project check-in to the next year county project check-in date.
Creative/Experimental print sizes must meet the size requirements of your chosen exhibit. It is recommended that the digital image be printed
on photographic paper or very high quality copier paper. The paper quality will help in clarity and sharpness.
If a photograph is taken with a digital camera is just a straight forward photograph with no changes or augmentation, then it would be the same
as one for the regular print board or salon print classes. To succeed as a digital image (as a separate classification) something more should be
done to the photographic image.
DIGITAL VS. FILM Anything that can be done in a dark room, on an enlarger, can be done on a computer, i.e. cropping, color correction,
parallax, etc. If an image is digitally altered beyond what can be done on the enlarger, i.e. adding different background, removing buildings or
people, adding text, hand-coloring, etc. it should be entered in the "Creative/Experimental" Class. We realize this will be difficult to enforce.
We ask your cooperation. We also realize the person with the expensive digital camera and high powered computer has some advantages.
By the same token the person with the expensive large format film camera that takes his processing to custom lab has many advantages over
the person with the inexpensive 35mm camera doing their processing at the local retail store.
Mounting and Labeling
The mounting may be of any color or texture. The pictures are to be neatly and securely mounted. Dry mounting tissue is best.
Salon mounts are available in most photo and art supply stores. They are available either in plain or with a cutout of the picture area. You may
make your own. Matting is not required.
Label each exhibit with either a county designated size exhibit label or 2" x 4" label stating 4-H'ers name, club, township, grade level, and exhibit
level/division. It is recommended that this identification label be placed in the lower right-hand corner of your poster board or salon print and under the
plastic, if at all possible. For State Fair entries, do not remove the 4-H member's ID label.

example, in foods one must consider the ingredients and spoilage rate or perishability during the hot summer days. It is prohibited to pass out food
samples due to the risk of bacteria and microorganisms making an individual ill.
Utilization of power tools and live firearms are other areas that raise a red flag concerning safety and are not to be used. Safety conditions for the
public are to be one's utmost concern when presenting and sharing with the public. Should safety of the public or 4-H'er be of concern, the
demonstrator will be asked to alter or cease Interactive Demonstration.
