We also wish to extend our gratitude to the Agricultural Science Teachers, Extension Agents

Tarrant County FFA and 4-H youth to exhibit and compete with their projects on an equal
and unbiased basis. I hope you enjoy this year’s Tarrant County Junior Livestock Show,

General Rules
1. Interpretation and Violations of Rules: Exhibitors are requested to report any rule
violation(s) to the Show Superintendent immediately so that appropriate action may be
taken. The Executive Committee reserves the final and absolute right to interpret
these rules and settle and determine all matters, questions, and differences in regards
thereto or otherwise arising out of or connected with, or incident to, the Show and to
amend or add to these rules as its judgment may determine. Any exhibitor who
violates any of the rules will forfeit all privileges and premiums and be subject to such
penalty as the Executive Committee may order.
2. Eligibility: The TCJLS is in support of all youth in Tarrant County, Texas. The term
“exhibitor” shall mean the legal owner of the animal. Exhibitors are responsible for
knowing and complying with all rules of this show.
Exhibitors must be a member in good standing of a Tarrant County 4-H Club or FFA
Chapter and enrolled in a public, private or home school and not be beyond the 12th
grade. Exhibitors must have continuously, personally, fed and cared for their
animal/non-animal projects under the direct supervision of a County Extension Agent
(CEA) or Agricultural Science Teacher (AST). No project may be substituted for any
project after the validation date due to death, sale or other disposition of the project.
Exhibitors may enter as either a 4-H or FFA Member, but not as both in the same
department. Any exhibitor who enters as both, in the same department will have
his/her entries disqualified without refund of entry fees. Exhibitors may not participate
in any other county show.
All 4-H and FFA exhibitors are considered to be eligible by the Tarrant County Junior
Livestock Association, Inc. to participate in the Junior Livestock Show at the same
time entries are received from the AST/CEA. Any AST/CEA who has a member in
his/her 4-H or FFA program who becomes ineligible to participate in the Tarrant
County Junior Livestock Show, according to Texas Education Code, must provide
notification to the Show Superintendent prior to 7:00 pm on day of show weigh-in.
3. Entry: Entries in the Junior Show must be submitted by the CEA/AST, under whose
supervision the animals or projects were fed or cared for, and will be returned if the
entry is turned in by others. The CEA/AST must certify on the entry card that the
animal or project and the owner are eligible under the rules of the show. It is the
responsibility of the CEA/AST to read all rules and to check each entry card carefully
before signing. If entries are not correctly submitted, they will be returned.
Entries from 4-H Clubs and FFA Chapters must be filed with the TCJLA no later than
the time and date specified. Entries must be on official entry cards with a Summary
Sheet from the CEA/AST listing the owners and their entries along with one check to
cover the total entry fees of all entries of each 4-H Club or FFA Chapter. Checks
should be drawn on 4-H or FFA accounts. Personal checks from 4-H or FFA members

member and mailed in one package to:

for and exhibit their animals or projects without any aid or assistance during the entire
feeding and fitting project period except from the CEA/AST 4-H Adult leader or other
4-H or FFA members.

receipt indicating an ownership date for market and breeding animals.

6. Exhibitor Substitution: Entries in the Junior Livestock Show must be shown by their
owner. Exhibitor substitutions may be allowed under the following conditions. In all

9
7. Fitting/Care: Any project whether an animal or other entry (baked goods or
horticultural), cared for or fitted by a custom fitter, at any time during the required
ownership and fitting period, is not eligible, except in the case of an exhibitor who is a
member of the immediate family of a custom fitter. A custom fitter is considered
anyone who is not an immediate family member of the family, 4-H Adult Leader, or
CEA/AST. Violators of this rule will be barred from future participation in the Junior
Show. A). No clipping on show grounds is permissible. Violation of this rule can
disqualify entry & exhibitor from show and sale.
8. Animal Care: Exhibitors must remain in charge of their exhibits and care for them for
the duration of the show or have a competent caretaker in charge of them who will be
on duty at all times during open barn hours.
9. Weighing: All animals or projects to be weighed will be weighed under the
supervision of the Division Superintendent. This will be the official weight. Re-weighs,
requested by the exhibitor are NOT permitted. The Executive Committee reserves the
right to weigh back any animal at any time.
10. Parking: Saturday Parking Passes will be limited to Show Officers, Board of Directors,
designated Committee Members, Superintendents, Judges and Buyers. All Parking
Pass requests must go through the show office and administrative committee. The
TCJLS employs the City of Fort Worth Police Department to ensure the parking lot
adjacent to the Swine Barn is not filled with vehicles attending other events being held
in the Will Rogers Complex. Vehicles not exhibiting Parking Passes will not be allowed
to enter the parking area. No trailers will be left in the parking area adjacent to the
swine barn with the exception of the trailer used to store shavings. Those requesting
parking passes for handicap reasons must document in writing their request and
address that request to the administrative committee. Vehicle must display handicap
designation.

they will use and that will determine your entry deadline. Please plan

14. Special Rules: Special Rules are published in each department where necessary and
if there is a conflict between the Special Rules and the General Rules the Special

transferred to the proper class, prior to judging and at the discretion of Division
Superintendent. If such classes have been judged they will not be reopened. No
animal or project will be changed from one class to another after the deadline date
unless it is ineligible for the class in which it is entered.
16. Decisions: The decision of the judges will be final in all cases, except where mistake,
fraud, misrepresentation, or collusion, not discovered at the time of award, is proven.
Any objections to a judge must be submitted in writing as an Official Protest (see Rule
17).
17. Official Protests: Official protests must be submitted to the Show Superintendent in
writing and accompanied by a $100.00 deposit, which will be forfeited if the protest is
not sustained. Protest must state plainly the cause of complaint or appeal, giving good
sufficient reasons therefore, and must be delivered to the Management immediately
upon the occasion for such protest. Any protest not officially filed within 24 hours of
the alleged incident will not be considered. These cases are referred to the Executive
Committee, which will have full power to act, and from whose decision there can be no
appeal. Judging procedures will not be interpreted for protest investigation.
11
18. Liability: All exhibits will be under the control and direction of the TCJLA, but the

damage done to, or occasioned by, or arising from, any animal or project exhibited by
him/her and for its description as given in the catalog. He/she (the exhibitor) shall
indemnify the TCJLA against all legal or other proceedings in regard thereto, as well
as any damage or injury to any other person or property, caused by the exhibitor or
any of the animals or project exhibited with such exhibition or any of the animals or
projects so exhibited.
19. Animal or Project Care: All owners or persons in charge of property, livestock or

earned and the exhibitor may be barred from future participation.

Please join us in encouraging our Leaders of Tomorrow.
Congratulations to our winners from last year and good luck to all our 2012 exhibitors!
We wish you the best!
The Tradin’ Post has added an exciting opportunity to spark the entrepreneurial spirit of
our youth by providing a venue to offer a commodity with the educational aspect of
learning to understand product demand and exploring our consumer base, and everyone
loves the Pee Wee exhibitors.
Please carefully read all rules for TCJLS and TCYF. The rules will be followed as written
in our 2012 Show guide.
Your participation is greatly appreciated and we look forward to providing a great
experience for every one involved.
