1. The youth exhibitor or their parents or legal guardians currently operate a legitimate, closed swine herd.

8. Youth must show their own animals in the 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Show. In the event of illness or other incapacity of the exhibitor, the youth may ask another youth to show the animal, subject to prior written approval of Kentucky State Fair management.

9. If an exhibitor has more than one animal in a class or in the Championship Drive, they must use a substitute showperson that has entries in the Kentucky State Fair 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Shows of the same species. This substitute showperson must be from Kentucky and must be declared with the superintendent prior to the start of the show, Division Drive and/or Championship Drive.

10. The Kentucky State Fair 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Show will be a Blow-n-Go Show. Any product that alters the natural appearance of the animal including, but not limited to adhesives, paints, gels, mousse, and coloring agents are not permitted. This applies to all 4-H/FFA breeding and market animals, excluding dairy cattle.

11. It is the intent of the Kentucky State Fair Board that the 4-H/FFA youth exhibitors involved in the youth livestock shows take responsibility for caring and grooming his/her own animals. If assistance is needed it should be aimed at helping the youth learn new skills and can be done by a family member, extension agent, agriculture teacher, 4-H leader, another Kentucky 4-H/FFA member or an approved assisting adult* that has registered with the Kentucky State Fair. Rather than restrict assistance to youth exhibitors, the Kentucky State Fair Board believes that it is in the best interest for the Fair and youth exhibitors to allow these adults the opportunity to assist any Kentucky 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock exhibitor. Youth exhibitors should be encouraged to receive assistance from fellow Kentucky 4-H or FFA exhibitors.

*4-H/FFA youth exhibitors that require the assistance of another adult will need to request a form from the Kentucky State Fair Entry Department and have it returned no later than July 20th for approval by Fair management. Assisting adults must meet the following requirements: 1) be a resident of the state of Kentucky, 2) have their assistance free of charge to all 4-H/FFA youth livestock exhibitors. All approved adults will need to come to the West Wing Livestock

6. Exhibitors will declare weights of market hogs (an official weigh-in will not be conducted by show officials). The following procedures and guidelines will be used by exhibitors to declare weights of market hogs:a.

market hog that will be exhibited) at the Swine Superintendent’s Office.

b. The completed weight card must be turned in at the Swine Superintendent’s Office by 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 21. Exhibitors with purebred market hogs must bring the animal’s registration paper along with the weight card to the Swine Superintendent’s Office. The Swine Superintendent or their representative will conduct an inspection of purebred animals to verify that they meet registration guidelines (appropriate breed character) and that their ear notches match those on the registration paper. The weight listed on the weight card will become that market hog’s official declared weight to be used for assignment to a weight class and for weigh-back purposes.

c. All market hogs must weigh between 220 and 285 lbs. There will be no variance from this weight range.

d. At least the top three placing market hogs in each class will be weighed by the Swine Superintendent or their representative as the animals leave the show ring. Any market hog that weighs 15lbs over its official declared weight will be disqualified. No premiums will be paid on disqualified animals.

7. Market hogs will be shown in classes of 8 - 15 animals divided by breed and weight. A breed must be represented by eight (8) animals to have a separate class for that breed. All market hogs shown in a breed class must have a registration certificate issued by the respective breed association showing animal identification and ownership and the animal must exhibit typical breed characteristics. The sex may be listed as boar on the pedigrees for barrows. Eight (8)head minimum are required for Purebred classes. If less than eight (8) head are present, they will go in a “Colored Purebreds” or “White Purebreds” category. If these two categories have less than eight (8) head, they will be combined into all “All Other Breeds” category.

8. The crossbred classes will be equally distributed into three (3) weight divisions; Light Weight, Medium Weight, and Heavy Weight divisions. The three (3) crossbred division winners will compete for the Champion and Reserve Crossbred. Champion and Reserve Crossbred will go on to compete with the purebred division winners in the Championship Drive.
