Premium Auction Rules
21. The maximum number of market animals to be sold per specie will be based on a percentage proportional to the
percentage of exhibitors in that species out of 100 market animals to be sold.
The minimum per each class is guaranteed a place in the sale order. Exhibitors will show for the remaining sale lots
and alternates.
The minimum guaranteed per species to be sold would be as follows:
Steers
9 head
3 per class
Hogs
25 head
5 per class
Lambs
12 head
4 per class
Goats
25 head
5 per class
Broilers
12 pens
Top 12
The top 2 “sale” shop projects will be eligible for sale as lot #1 & #2 Ag Mechanics projects in premium auction.
Example based on 2012 exhibitors/species:
Target is for 100 sale lots to sell / 159 total market animal exhibitors = 63%
12 steer exhibitors *.63 = 7.7 = 8 head (9 head minimum)
49 hog exhibitors *.63 = 30.87 = 31 head
22 lamb exhibitors *.63 = 13.86 = 14 head
47 goat exhibitors *.63 = 29.61 = 30 head
29 broiler exhibitors *.63 = 18.27 = 18 pens
This would be 102 lots plus the 2 Ag Mech. lots for a total of 104 sale lots.
22. It is the responsibility of the parent or student to secure a buyer for their animal in the Premium
Auction. You are only guaranteed floor price for your animal in the Premium Auction.
23. A 5% commission will be subtracted from the sale price of your animal to offset the cost of the premium
auction and advertisements plus a $15 picture fee will be subtracted.
24. You may pull animals, other than Champion and Reserve Champion, out of the sale if you wish to keep them.
You must notify the superintendent of your division directly after judging if you wish to remove your animal
from the sale. This will help establish an accurate sale order. Once an animal is sold in the Premium Auction, it
is the property of the Buyer or the Floor Buyer.

TEXAS 4-H/FFA LIVESTOCK PROGRAM
This ethics policy applies to any 4-H/FFA member planning to exhibit animals at livestock shows in Texas. It
includes Junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. All classes of
livestock offered at the livestock event are included: Cattle (Beef and Dairy), Goats (Angora, Boer, dairy, meat,
Cashmere), Equine (Horses), Llamas and other specialty animals, Poultry, Rabbits, Sheep, Swine, and any other
livestock classes offered. This “Texas 4-H/FFA Livestock Program Ethics Policy” will be enhanced with additional
rules and guidelines which individual fairs and livestock shows adhere to on the local, county, state, regional, and
national levels.
The following practices or procedures are unacceptable and are defined as being deceptive, fraudulent,
unethical, and inhumane in the care, fitting, preparation and showing of all classes of livestock events is
prohibited. (see Guideline #5)
Proof of any animals being subjected to illegal and/or/ unethical practice(s) and/or procedure(s) described herein
subjects the animal to immediate disqualification. The animal is ineligible for exhibition at any livestock show on
the local, county, state, regional and national levels. The exhibitor will forfeit any premium, awards, or auction
proceeds, and may be prohibited from future competition at livestock shows in Texas, as well as being subject to
potential criminal prosecution.
The following is a listing of guidelines all 4-H/FFA exhibitors must follow to enter livestock at organized
competitive events.
1. Exhibitors must be bonafide members of a 4-H Club or FFA Chapter on the state of Texas and care for their
animals under the direct supervision of a County Extension Agent or Agriculture Science Teacher. Exhibitors
must be enrolled in, and attending, public or private and/or home school elementary or secondary schools in
Texas. Exhibitors must be between the ages of 9 (or 8 and in the 3rd grade) and 19.
2. 4-H members that plan to show horses at any if the twelve districts and/or the Texas State Horse Show should
submit a signed copy of this Ethics Policy with their entry forms. While items 3-9, listed below, do not apply to
the horse project, there are specifics on ethics in the publication Texas 4-H Horse Show Rules and Regulations
(AS 3-2.043) that do apply. The Texas State 4-H Horse Show and all of the district horse shows are conducted
under the rules and regulations contained in this publication and 4-H’ers are expected to comply with those rules
regarding ownership, management and treatment of horses.
3. All exhibitors must have viable proof (Junior division) of ownership available to prove length of time animals
have been owned. Market animals (Beef, Sheep, Swine, and Goats) must be owned and under exhibitor’s daily
care by the following dates: October 22 – Steers, January 12 – Sheep, Goats, and Hogs, to be eligible to
participate at any major livestock show within Texas. This also includes all small market animals (Rabbits and
Poultry). The official ownership date is the date shown on the bill of sale or receipt of sale, unless the animal was
bred by the exhibitor, in which calving or birth records will be utilized. (Individual show rules may determine
ownership requirements for non-market animals.) Registered breeding livestock must show the exhibitor as the
sole owner of the animal on the breed association papers or certificates.
Page 8 of 10
Revised August 13, 2013
Corrected October 16, 2013
4. Exhibitors must continuously own and personally feed and care for their animal(s) throughout the entire
feeding period. The feeding period begins with the specie validation date through exhibition at all shows. Prior
approval must be granted by the specie specific County State Validation Committee in the event the animal will
be ou8tside the care of the exhibitor. The animal(s) may not be out of the exhibitors care for a period exceeding
48 hours. Exception may be made with approval from the specific county State Validation Committee.
5. No exhibitor may show a market animal which has been previously sold at a county, regional, or major
livestock show auction or sale in which the ownership of the animal has changed hands after the state validation
deadline for that specie. Any method used to misrepresent the age of an animal for a class in which it is shown is
deceptive and considered a violation of the rules and guidelines. Showing an animal for another individual by
claiming ownership in order to show in a specific livestock class or event is prohibited. False ownership is a
violation of the rules and guidelines.
6. Treating an animal internally or externally, with any irritant, counter-irritant, or other substance used to
artificially change the conformation or appearance of an animal for show is considered unethical, inhumane, and
is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to the use of graphite, air, powders, hemp, artificial hair coloring,
common products such as fly spray, ointment or liniment used to point that is irritating, (useless required to
reduce edema at time of calving) or similar type products. The use of dyes, spray paint or other artificial coloring
which result in altering an animal’s true and natural appearance and/or color is prohibited. Adding false hair or
hair-like material, fleece, or skin at any point, spot or area of the animal’s body is illegal and will result in
immediate disqualification.
7. Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin and/or into the flesh of an animal to change
the natural contour, conformation or appearance of an animal’s body is illegal. This includes vegetable oil, air,
silicon or any other substance used to alter the shape of the animal. Acceptable practices of physical preparation
which are allowed include, clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, removal of ancillary teats, and
docking tails.
8. The use of inhumane fitting, showing and/or handling practices or devices shall not be tolerated.
9. The administration of the Texas 4-H and/or FFA Programs reserve the final and absolute right to interpret
these guidelines and to arbitrarily settle and determine all matters, questions, and differences in regard thereto,
or otherwise arising out of or connected with or incident to “Texas 4-H/FFA Livestock Program Ethics Policy”.
Any violation of the “Texas 4-H/FFA Livestock Program Ethics Policy” or specific rules as designated by individual
fairs and livestock shows may result in forfeiture of premiums and awards, disqualification, and may result in
probationary status and/or loss of eligibility for future participation in organized livestock competition. Possible
civil penalties may be imposed be the proper authorities based on evidence provided by the livestock show
of exhibitors in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act/ or the animal mistreatment, neglect,
and abandonment laws that apply on the local, state, and/or national levels. All rule violations will be dealt
with on an individual basis by the specie specific county State Validation Committee, the State Validation
Coordinators, and/or livestock show officials.
I am verifying that I have read the “Texas 4-H/FFA Livestock Program Ethics Policy” and understand the
consequences of and penalties involved for illegal, unethical, inhumane, and unfair practices in livestock
competition. I am also verifying knowledge that my family and I may be prohibited from future participation in
organized validation programs in the State of Texas, and could face possible criminal prosecution and/or
penalties if implicated in any of the aforementioned acts.
