(knee). Powders are not allowed on any part of the animal. Animals may be given a
white towel test as they enter the show ring. Cattle are to be shown in their natural
conformation. The use of FALSE TAIL HEADS is prohibited. The addition of HAIR,
HEMP, or ANY SIMILAR SUBSTANCE to any part of an animal is prohibited. No tail
ties will be allowed for breeding stock or steers. Excess adhesive on the legs beyond
what is needed to groom the animal’s hair is grounds for disqualification.” The
consequences of any discrepancy regarding this rule will be addressed
immediately by the following steps: NOTIFY SUPERINTENDENT
IMMEDIATELY; STOP THE SHOW AND CALL A MEETING OF THE YOUTH
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THE SPECIES COMMITTEE WHO ARE PRESENT,
DO NOT RESUME SHOW UNTIL COMMITTEE MAKES A DECISION. IF “YES”
THE RULE HAS BEEN BROKEN THEN THE 4-Her WILL BE DISMISSED FROM
ALL AREAS OF THAT SPECIES. Only immediate and household family
members, and Logan County 4-Hers and Project Leaders may help 4-Her with
hands-on fitting and grooming of animal. If 4-Her needs additional help the

approval.
