2021 East Texas State Fair Livestock Show General Rules

One of the fundamental objectives of the East Texas State Fair is to encourage the breeding of improved livestock. When an animal is judged, consideration is given to the symmetry, size, quality, form, evidence of constitution, vigor, productivity, and general breeding characteristics.

Application of Rules

The General Rules and Regulations apply to every breed show in the East Texas State Fair Livestock Show. Additional rules, specific to the Junior Show, Open Show, and their respective breed shows will be included in the information for those shows. The exhibitor is responsible for reading, knowing and following all of the rules, both general and specific, which apply to the show entered.

Grounds and Facilities

Liability Statement All exhibitors will be under the direction and control of the East Texas State Fair management, but the East Texas State Fair will in no case be responsible for any loss, injury, or damage done to, occasioned by, or arising from any animal or article exhibited. The Exhibitor, fitter, and/or owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the East Texas State Fair against all legal or other proceedings in regard thereto, as well as damage or injury to any other person or property, caused by the exhibitor or exhibitor’s animals, or arising in any way or connected with the exhibition of the animals. The exhibitor accepts full and complete responsibility for actions of his or her animals and property, and releases and holds harmless said sponsors from all legal liability, both personal and property including injury and/or death or any other damage whatsoever. Schedule and Rules Please review the schedule and rules for each show listed. It is important to remember that move-in and move-out times for shows will be strictly enforced. Pens and stalls will not be available to exhibitors until their posted times and exhibitors are expected to remove their animals from the grounds at the posted times for each department and breed as well. Please remember that we have more shows/breeds moving into your stalls when you move-out and pens/stalls have to be cleaned for the next shows to move-in. Animals cannot stay on the grounds after their posted release time. If you have animals that are released, and other animals that are still showing, you will need to make arrangements with another breeder or facility to house the animals that have been released. Any exception to this must be granted in writing by a Show official. Feed and Bedding Exhibitors will be required to furnish their own feed and bedding, which will be stored without causing obstruction of aisles, and is subject to relocation at the discretion of Livestock Show Staff. Shavings may be purchased on the grounds or brought with the exhibitor to the show. Electric Fans Electrical facilities will not permit use of fans driven by motors larger than ½ horsepower. Freestanding Fans are not allowed outside the feed aisle between the tie rails. Hanging fans can only be attached to the tie rails. Fans are not permitted in or near walking aisles. PORT-A-COOLS are not permitted.

12

Grooming Chutes Grooming Chutes will not be allowed on the grounds during Junior Heifer Show. Grooming Chutes will be allowed in the barns or exhibit tents during open shows in designated areas. Pets Pets & Service Animals: Pets are NOT permitted on the Fairgrounds. Service animals can accompany

people with disabilities in all areas of the Stock Show grounds where the public is normally allowed to go. A

person with a service animal may be asked to remove the service animal from the premises if: 1) The dog is

out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it; or 2) The dog is not housebroken.

Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for

people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting

people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure,

reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post

Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are

working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to

the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify

as service animals under the ADA.

Displays and Identification Each exhibitor is requested to furnish his/her own signs or banners for use in the barns. These should be in good condition.

Exhibitors may display prize ribbons and banners won at the Fair and may display those won at other Fairs subject to the approval of Fair Management. The exhibitor should check with the Show Superintendent or the Livestock Office regarding display questions. Exhibitors are prohibited from using paint, tape, adhesives or any other materials that deface tie-walls or any property on the fairgrounds. Also, Exhibitors may not remove or re-arrange any stalls or portable panels without consent of the Fair Management. Exhibitors violating this policy will be invoiced for all cost associated with repairs and will be subject to disqualification from this show.

Area Privileges No person other than the one holding the animal being exhibited will be allowed in the show ring during the time of the judging except the Breed Superintendent, Judge, Official Reporters, and Breed Representatives. This rule will be rigidly enforced.

Selling Privileges No organization, association or individual may sell any item or service of any value on the grounds or inside any barn or building without first securing a Selling Privilege from the East Texas State Fair Management.

Exhibitor Code of Conduct Any false representations, interference or improper conduct on the part of any Exhibitor will be dealt with by the East Texas State Fair Management, according to the equities of the case. The East Texas State Fair is a family friendly event. As such, an individual’s conduct as an exhibitor or patron should be exemplary, and violators are subject to disqualification or removal from Show grounds. Violations include, but are not limited to:

Disruptive or improper conduct

13

Public display of profanity of any sort

Violence of any sort

Providing alcohol to underage persons or providing a space for the consumption of alcohol by underage

persons.

Possession, use, or distribution of alcohol by underage persons

Possession of an open alcohol container in a public area regardless of the individual’s age

Excessive consumption of alcohol

Damages All exhibits will be under the control and direction of the Breed Superintendents, but the Fair Management will, in no case, be responsible for any loss, injury, or damage, done or occasioned by or arising from an animal exhibited by him/her and shall indemnify the fair Management against legal or other proceeding in regard thereto. Entering the Grounds All livestock must enter the Fairgrounds from the West Houston Street Gate on the Southeast side of the Fairgrounds, where health papers, if required, must be presented to gain admittance to the grounds. Once on the fairgrounds, enter the cattle barn area from the front driveway and follow the drive around the cattle barns to the rear of the barns. While waiting in line, please do not leave your vehicle unattended. Be considerate of the traffic flow in parking your vehicle while waiting or unloading. They are to be unloaded in the fenced area beside and behind the barns. When you reach the designated unloading area, unload your livestock and tack, and remove your vehicle as soon as possible by exiting through the South Back Gate. At this point a Security Officer will give you directions to the trailer parking lot. Trailers MUST go to the designated lot and may not remain on site or on public streets. Early Releases Any open show exhibitor wishing to be released early to go to another Fair or Livestock Show must make request to the East Texas State Fair and provide proof of entry to that show when making entry to the East Texas State Fair Livestock Show. Cancellation of Shows The Management of the East Texas State Fair reserves the right to cancel any livestock show if an inadequate number of entries are apparent after the official registration deadline. The East Texas State Fair requires 10 head to show per breed to merit a breed show. Any breed show falling under the required 10 head will be placed on probation for one year.

Livestock Requirements

Health Certificate

All Out-of-State animals are required to have a certificate of Veterinary Inspection executed by a licensed Veterinarian. All In-State cattle (excluding steers) are required to have a certificate of Veterinary Inspection. Certificates will be checked prior to entering the East Texas State Fair Grounds. Youth Market Goats – No health papers required. Boer Goats - All breeding goats must have a scrapie identification ear tag except registered goats with

14

a registration tattoo and accompanied by registration papers listing the scrapie premise ID number. Sheep – No health papers required. Swine – No health papers required. Steers – No health papers required. All Animals will be subject to the Current Health requirements of the Texas Animal Health Commission and the East Texas State Fair.

Ownership Certification/Fitting Exhibitors must own their animals at the beginning of and throughout the feeding period. Exhibitor must feed, care for and exhibit animals entered without any aid or assistance during the entire feeding period, except from CEA or AST or from other junior exhibitors and leaders within their county. Only registered breeding animals may be shown, and owner must produce a certificate of registration for all animals upon check in.

Animals, composing a competitive group need not to be named in application to enter but must be selected by the exhibitor. Sire of “Get of Sire” and Dam of “Produce of Dam” are to be named at the time of making entry.

Should a temporary sale or transfer of a show animal ever be discovered, the exhibitors and property owner may be barred from any and all future shows.

Nurse Cows “Nurse Cows” will not be allowed on the Fairgrounds for the purpose of an entered animal to nurse during the entered animal(s) stay on the Fairgrounds. A “nurse Cow” is defined by the East Texas State Fair as a lactating cow that is not entered into a breed show. This does not apply to cows with calf at side. Restraint/Unruly Animals The East Texas State Fair Management and/or General Superintendents may remove or have removed any unruly animal from the Fairgrounds. All animals must be docile enough to be handled by one attendant on foot during the unloading and loading process; in the show ring while being shown or at any other time while in competition or on exhibition on the East Texas State Fairgrounds.

Sick Animals Animals will be inspected for apparent disease. In case of sickness of any animal, the animal shall be removed when ordered by the Breed Superintendent to a separate enclosure, where the exhibitor may either direct treatment of the animal himself or employ the Fair Veterinarian, to whom payment for services and other expenses incurred will be made. The right is reserved by the Breed Superintendent to order the animal be removed from the grounds when this rule applies. To remove a sick animal, a written release will be required, signed by the East Texas Fair Veterinarian or Director of Livestock. Exhibition Livestock Anyone desiring to exhibit livestock not entered in official livestock shows must request and receive permission from the Fair Management. In no case will space be allowed for exhibition livestock until after the official entry deadline, unless special invitation has been extended, and then only if space is available. NO exhibition livestock will be allowed during the junior shows.

15

All livestock must be halter broken, unless granted special permission. In those special instances, pens would be used for exhibition. Exhibition livestock must meet all livestock health requirements that are set by the Texas Animal Health Commission. The fee for all exhibit livestock accepted and stalled in the livestock complex will be $50.00 per head. Owners of exhibition livestock should contact the Fair prior to the Fair to determine when livestock may begin arriving. Only exhibition livestock from breeds for which there is no breed show scheduled at the Fair will be accepted as Exhibition animals except in the following circumstance. A regular exhibitor with cattle entered in competition in one of the breed shows may exhibit animals with his/her regular show animals in the barns, with special permission from East Texas State Fair Management.

Judging Rules

Judges Judges must not award a prize to an unworthy exhibit. It is the intention of the East Texas State Fair Management that no premium or distinction of any kind shall be given any article or animal that does not deserve an award. Judges shall report to the Superintendent any Exhibitor, who, in any way, whether in person or by agents, or employees, interferes with them during adjudication or shows any disrespect to them. In such instances, a proper apology from such Exhibitor shall be demanded, or he/she may be excluded from participation in the remainder of shows. Fair Management may withhold from the exhibitor any premiums due.

The decision of the judges shall be final in all cases, except where mistakes, fraud, misrepresentation or collusion not discovered at the time of the award is proven. In such cases, the Superintendent or referee he/she may appoint, may make decisions, or, on his/her approval. The case may be appealed to the Executive Committee, from whose decision there can be no appeal. The Fair Management reserves the right to withhold premiums in every case in which it shall appear to the Executive Committee that regulations have not been complied with, or that fraud or deception has been practiced or attempted. It is the intention that all livestock shall be shown in a good workable condition. Protest All protests must be in writing and accompanied by a deposit of $50.00, which will be forfeited if protest is not sustained. Such protest must state plainly the cause of complaint or appeal, and must be delivered to the Superintendent immediately after the occasion resulting in the protest. Any protest of eligibility regarding age of an animal must be filed with the Superintendent prior to noon of the last day before judging. Interpretations The Fair reserves, to the Executive Committee, the final and absolute right to interpret these rules and regulations and arbitrarily settle and determine all matters, questions or differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising out of , or connected with or incident to the Fair. The East Texas State Fair Management reserves the right to amend or add to these rules, as the Executive Committee in its judgment may determine.

16

Junior Show General Rules

Who May Enter Junior Show Participation: Participation in the Junior Livestock Division is limited to Texas resident students, who are members of a Texas 4-H Club or FFA Chapter, and who have continuously owned and personally fed and cared for their animals under the direct supervision of a CEA or AST. Exhibitors must be enrolled in, and attending, public or private elementary or secondary schools in Texas. Students must be between the ages of 9 years of age or in the 3rd grade and no older than 18 years of age on or before Aug. 31, 2021. Each FFA Chapter and 4-H Club must be a member in good standing with its state and National affiliates

Each exhibitor will be limited to no more than two (2) animals per class. Extra animals in the class must be shown only by another qualified FFA or 4-H member.

Ownership All Beef Heifers and Dairy Cattle must be registered and must have been owned at least thirty days (30) by the exhibitor as evidenced by Registration Papers. Evidence of ownership is indicated by the date of sale on the registration certificate.

Any recognized Breed Registry by the United States Department of Agriculture and Texas Club Calf Association Registry papers will be accepted as proof of ownership and registration of the animal.

Only the Owners on the registration papers are eligible to exhibit any animal during the East Texas State Fair. The following are exceptions to this rule.

(1) An exhibitor has more than one entry in a class (2) An exhibitor is sick (must present a signed statement from a doctor) (3) An exhibitor cannot be present because of approved school activities, TAAS test, etc.

When one of the above conditions exists, Fair Management may use their own discretion as to whether a substitute showman will be allowed.

Premiums Premiums are paid in the Junior Livestock Show for the following: Beef Heifers, Dairy Cows, Goats, Lambs, Steers, and Swine.

Payouts are: 1st Place Blue Ribbon $25.00 2nd Place Red Ribbon $20.00 3rd Place White Ribbon $15.00

Cash premiums will be paid at the conclusion of each breed show at the Livestock Office. Group and Pen Classes are treated as one animal. Premium payment is based on ribbon and voucher received. Only the owner/exhibitor listed on the show sheet may exchange vouchers for cash premiums. All exhibitors must present exhibitor number, ribbon and voucher to Livestock Officials at the time of receiving premiums. Parents, friends or siblings will not be allowed to exchange vouchers for the exhibitor. Personal identification may be required.

Additional premium awards may be offered in specific Junior breed shows by the respective organizations. Announcements regarding additional premiums will be included in the show rules.

Prize awards for Champions and Reserve Champions are subject to change.

17

Showmanship **NEW for 2021** All junior exhibitors will be able to participate in Showmanship in each species (except for Dairy and Rabbits). A $5.00 fee will be collected at the gate. Showmanship class will be held before or after the show due to judges preference. ** Junior Heifer show showmanship will be held on Saturday following the Junior Heifer breed shows that finish in that ring. Dairy and rabbit showmanship will have awards presented.

Showmanship classes are: Junior Showmanship Class - Ages 9 – 11 Intermediate Showmanship Class - Ages 12-15 Senior Showmanship Class - Ages 16 – 18

All Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Showmanship awards are provided by the East Texas State Fair.

Sifting Sifting procedures are in place for the purpose of excluding any animals which do not meet the minimum set of standards of the East Texas State Fair. Although Certificates of Veterinary Inspection are not required for breeding rabbits, steers, market swine, goats, and lambs, Junior Show Superintendents will be sifting for animals which exhibit symptoms suggestive of either possible communicable diseases or conditions which substantially compromise an animal’s show-worthiness, even if not potentially communicable to other animals or humans. If, in the sole discretion of the Superintendent, an animal is disqualified from showing or directed to be removed from the fairgrounds, the decision of the Superintendent will be regarded as final, and in cases requiring animals to be removed, the animal must be removed immediately.

An exhibitor and/or parent may request a consultation with a licensed veterinarian in the event of a dispute; however, cost for the consultation is the responsibility of the exhibitor and/or parent, whether the veterinarian is on call for the East Texas State Fair or is independently chosen by the exhibitor and/or parent. If the decision of the Superintendent is overruled by the veterinarian, a written statement is required from the veterinarian following the examination as to the fitness of the animal in question.

Exhibitor Conduct It will be the responsibility of the Agricultural Science Teachers, County Extension Agents, and Adult Supervisors to see that no improper conduct or horseplay occurs in the show barns. Violation of this rule can mean forfeiture of premium money.

Agricultural Science Teachers, County Extension Agents, and Adult Supervisors will be responsible for junior exhibitors under their supervision in maintaining their exhibit areas in a presentable condition at all times. Any individual or group which fails to meet sanitary requirements in maintaining their exhibits may forfeit all prize money. Keeping their animals and areas in top condition at all times is an important educational aspect of the show for the exhibitors, and is impressive to the thousands of spectators who visit the fair.

Unethically Fitted Livestock: The showing of unethically fitted livestock, the showing of livestock of any

ineligible age for exhibition in the class entered, or the misrepresentation of breeding or milking status is

prohibited. Unethical fitting will be deemed to consist of changing the normal conformation of any part of

ABBA requires at least 40 head for a Sanctioned Show American Brahman Breeders Association

Official Show Classes:

Special Rules The ABBA requires that everyone who exhibits cattle in an ABBA Show must be a member in good standing as either a Junior, Active or Show Member. Please review the ABBA Constitution and Rules to familiarize yourself with the membership levels along with their requirements.

1. Animals must be registered in the American Brahman Breeders Association to be eligible to compete in association sponsored shows. The registration certificate for each entry must be available for presentation to the superintendent or manager of the show at the time entries are verified prior to judging.

2. The registration number and animal identification number (number branded on animal) of (1) each animal must be entered in an individual class, (2) the sire of each Get-of -Sire entry and (3) the dam of each produce-of-dam entry must be listed on the entry card of each animal entered.

3. Entries that have not complied with rules one (1) and two (2) will not be eligible to show, receive premium monies, or earn points in the association’s Register of Renown.

4. Animals to be eligible to be shown in group classes must be entered and shown in individual classes.

5. Entries will be listed numerically according to age (oldest first) in catalogs and judging schedules. Include animal identification number (number brand) as a part of identification. When entering the arena for judging, the handlers will line cattle up numerically in the same order.

6. Judges will be allowed to comment on placings in selected classes when conditions permit.

7. Each animal will be presented in the show ring in its natural conformation and structure without alteration or modification. Alteration or modification shall be defined to include any surgical or circulatory constriction including banding or other appearance change, save only branding, tattooing, foot trimming or dehorning. Injections of foreign substances internally for cosmetic purposes, steroids, growth hormones or stimulants shall be prohibited. If to the satisfaction of the ABBA staff, officers, executive committee or board of directors an animal has had its natural conformation or structure altered or been administered steroids, growth hormones or stimulants; then the said animal shall be ruled ineligible to compete until such time the Show Committee and owner/owners have reviewed the case. Any violators, both owner & fitter will be in-eligible to exhibit cattle at ABBA Approved Shows for 5 years.

8. If any exhibitor/owner/showman interferes in any way with the judge or shows disrespect to him, or to the show in the ring, the exhibitor/owner/showman may be dismissed by the judge or show management from the ring. The management may withhold from each exhibitor/owner/showman any premium monies that may have been awarded or take other steps deemed desirable.

37

9. In cases where families, companies, corporations, etc., are operated as a unit under the same management but have cattle also registered in the name of individual partners, said cattle, even though bearing a different ownership brand, are eligible to be shown in competition under the firm name provided they have not been and will not be shown in the name of the individuals.

10. For females being shown in the three oldest classes (females calved Sept. 1, 2016 - Aug. 31, 2017 for Fall Shows; females calved Jan. 1, - Dec. 31, 2016 for Spring Shows), exhibitor must have a certificate of pregnancy no older than 30 days issued by a licensed veterinarian or certified technician to be presented to show officials at time of check-in or registration paper check. The show reserves the right to perform pregnancy determination by palpation for females in the above classes at any given ABBA approved show if an official protest has been filed. Females exhibited in the last class MUST have her nursing natural calf at side. The only exemption from this rule will be cows that have already weaned a calf and a registration certificate of the calf MUST be presented to the judge. The pregnancy certificate will be checked at the ABBA National, International & any other participating show.

11. *All bulls will be shown with a nose ring or nose restraint with lead attached.* For bulls being shown in the oldest class the exhibitor must have a seasonal fertility certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian or certified technician stating the bull can settle cows. This certificate must be available for inspection by the judge on request. The seasonal fertility certificate will be checked at the ABBA National, International & any other participating show.

12. This deals with the produce of dam classes and the get-of-sire class. All group classes must be held by a handler in the show arena to be placed. At the International, National and any other participating show, the Original Registration Certificate of Original Copy (Blue with COPY across it) of each animal entering the ring for the group classes must be presented to the Show Official for parent verification. In an attempt to accommodate the exhibitors, the registration certificates of animals being exhibited in the group classes will be checked in advance at a specified time. Two animals for Natural Produce, four head for Embryo Produce and six head for the Get of Sire classes can be checked allowing the exhibitor to make the final selections prior to the show. If an exhibitor does not want to check papers early they would then have to bring papers on each animal that will enter the ring, at class check-in.
