to place a judgment on the exhibit or performance. It is therefore courteous to gracefully accept the decision of the judge,
realizing that it may be in conflict with an exhibitor’s personal standards. Every reasonable effort will be made to secure highly
qualified and conscientious judges.

TAMPERING WITH LIVESTOCK — Artificial coloring of any animal or any artificial means of removing or remedying physical
defects of conformation in exhibition animals, such as lifting or filling under the skin, will be considered as fraud and deception.
All animals giving evidence of such treatment will be barred from exhibition at the State Fair. If any animal is found by the
official veterinarian to have been tampered with as previously described, it shall be disqualified from competition. All prize
money that has been won at the current Oregon State Fair by the exhibitor on any animal or animals so disqualified will be
forfeited. The finding of the official veterinarian as to whether or not any animal has been improperly tampered with shall be
final and conclusive. The Oregon State Fair will not be responsible for the consequences, direct or indirect, of any animal or
exhibitor being so disqualified or debarred from showing.
4.
All swine exhibitors must remain in the barn until released by the livestock superintendent. If all animals belonging to an
exhibitor are sold either in the auction or by private treaty, the exhibitor and displays must be in place until officially released by
the livestock superintendent. Failure to follow these rules will result in penalties which include forfeiture of premiums and may
result in being barred from exhibiting at the State Fair.

any other measures as directed by the Swine Coordinator. No swine will be allowed in the show or sale ring that shows signs of
lice or eggs.
