"A SPECIAL THANKS
TO THE STOCKSHOW SPONSORS"
3
What is a Stockshow sponsor? A sponsor is someone who sees more than kids and animals at a
Stockshow. A sponsor also sees hard work, responsibility, goal setting, management,
determination, and success on display. A sponsor knows that a calf, lamb, or hog can teach
lessons that can't be learned in any other way, and believes that those lessons are worth learning.
Since 1939, exhibitors in the Southeastern Utah Jr. Livestock Show have relied upon generous
sponsors for support. We invite all Stockshow sponsors, past and present, to join us at the show.
As you sit in the bleachers, take a look around. You'll notice that yesterday's exhibitors are
today's parents, leaders, and sponsors. Thanks for believing in our youth. Your support is paying
off.
The Stockshow Committee extends a special thanks to those businesses, families, and
individuals who purchased animals in 2007.

UTAH STATE JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW ASSOCIATION
OVERVIEW OF RULES
2008 Show Season (revised 11/07)
These rules and guidelines are aimed at standardizing junior livestock shows in Utah. Standardization will
help provide the best possible educational experience for the young people of the state who have 4-H or
FFA livestock projects. The Utah State Junior Livestock Shows Association is given this responsibility by
the Utah Code Section 4-2-2 (Rule 65-8) through the Utah Department of Agriculture and the Utah
Legislature. These rules are to be printed in the premium book for each state-assisted livestock show and
any of your shows conflicting rules must be eliminated.
A total experience:
Exhibitors are encouraged to participate in the complete educational opportunity that junior
livestock shows provide, such as the rate of gain, carcass, fitting and showing, record book, and livestock
judging contests along with the judging of market and breeding animals. The purpose of these projects is
to help participants develop life skills and animal husbandry and marketing skills.
Tagging – Local Extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors will publicize tagging information regarding
date, places, etc., and arrange local tagging for state assisted shows. Suggested tagging dates are listed on
form 1. Animals must be tagged by ownership deadline dates. Possession and ownership requirements
must be met for each show entered.
Benefits of the tagging system – The tagging program has the potential to improve many aspects of the
junior livestock’s program, including the following:
Extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors will be able to see and verify member projects early to
provide more educational support.
Livestock shows will receive entries early enough to better plan their awards and sales.
The last-minute purchase of a show animal by a member or his/her parents will be eliminated.
Extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors will be able to coordinate and cooperate in the tagging
activities necessary in each county.
Code of Ethics:
The code of ethics applies to anyone exhibiting animals in livestock shows in the State of Utah. It
includes Junior as well as Open Class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. All
classes of livestock offered at the livestock events are included. The following practices or procedures are
unacceptable and are defined as deceptive, fraudulent, unethical, and inhumane in the care, fitting,
preparation, and showing of all classes of livestock:
The use of any illegal drugs is prohibited.
Legal or illegal substances used to phenotypical alter the appearance of an animals entered in
livestock events are prohibited.
Use of illegal drugs is considered a premeditated act.
Any information obtained in the practice of illegal alteration of an animal will be turned over to
the proper authorities for criminal prosecution.
This is a one-strike and you are out policy.
Exhibitors will forfeit any premium, awards, or auction proceeds, and will be prohibited from
further competition at shows in the State of Utah, as well as being subject to criminal prosecution if proven
guilty of any infraction of the Association rules..

OFFICIAL RULES
GENERAL RULES
Age -- Exhibitors must be in the third grade, but not less than 8 years of age as of January 1 of
the current year. Exhibitors can only show through the same season as their high school graduation, but
not past their 19th birthday. Exception: Disabled persons as defined by public law 98-527. In these special
cases, animals must still be the project animals of the exhibitor and be cared for daily by the disabled
person.
Group Affiliation -- An exhibitor may enter a given show only as a 4-H or FFA member, but not
both. Exhibitors must declare one or the other at time of entry.
Ownership of animals -- The exhibitor will own, posses, feed, and care for his/her project
animal(s) for not less than 100 consecutive days for market beef and 60 consecutive days for market swine
and market lambs immediately prior to the show they intend to participate in. No interruption of
ownership or possession can occur.
Fitting on show grounds -- The fitting of animals will take place in areas designated by the
livestock show committee. Parents, guardians, siblings, club leaders, Extension/4-H agents and FFA
advisors may assist, and are encouraged to assist the younger exhibitors. However, each exhibitor must be
working with the project animal and be in attendance with that animal during the entire fitting process.
Code of Ethics
Treating an animal internally or externally, with any irritant, counterirritant, 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, powders, hemp,
artificial hair, coloring, common products such as fly spray, ointment, or liniment used to the point that it
is irritating, or similar type products. The use of dyes, spray paint, or other artificial coloring, which
results 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. Any liquid or substance not considered part of an accepted and normal diet for
livestock is deemed illegal and inhumane. For example: the use of alcoholic or carbonated beverages as a
drench or filler, etc. Drenching will not be allowed unless the show veterinarian or a show official is
present and is needed for emergency purposes only.
The use of tranquilizers, sedatives, or depressants, which alter the physical or physiological state
of the animal, is illegal. Exceptions to this rule would be licensed, certified veterinarians, treatment for a
recognized disease or injury, or recommendation for tranquilizing breeding animals in heat that might
compromise the safety of others. The drugs must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration for
use in meat producing animals. All exhibitors will advise show management of any drug and/or
medication administered to an animal that might be detected at the time of showing or at meat inspection.
The name of the drug, its purpose, the person who administered the drug, time, and date of administration
will be presented to show management prior to the showing and sale of the animals. Failure to report this
information will result in severe penalty and/or disqualification. Any use of drugs or substances not
approved by the Food and Drug Administration is strictly prohibited. All animals entered into livestock
11
competition will be subject to testing for foreign substances that exceed acceptable levels established by
the FDA, FSIS, USDA, or EPA. During the livestock event, in the case of an animals requiring treatment,
all medication shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian and the livestock show officials shall be
notified.
Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin and/or into the flesh of animal to
change the natural contour, conformation, or appearance of an animal’s body is illegal. This includes
vegetable oil, silicon, or any other substance used to alter an animals shape. Acceptable practices of
physical preparations, which are allowed, include: clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, or
removal of ancillary teats.
The use of inhumane fitting, showing, and/or handling practices of devises shall not be tolerated.
For example: breaking of tails, striking of the animal to cause swelling or for bracing purposes, use of an
electrical contrivance, muzzles, etc. is not acceptable.
Direct criticism or interference with the judge, show management, other exhibitors, breed
representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited.
At the time an animal is sold at auction at the livestock show the exhibitors shall be held directly
responsible for animals that are rejected at the processing center due to the presence of foreign residues.
The seller may be liable to the buyer for an amount equal to three times the purchase price and may also be
liable for attorney’s fees and civil penalties. Show management may share acceptable intelligence and
evidence information with FDA or USDA. If, for any reason, the FDA or USDA inspectors must remove
any part of a meat animal carcass, the market price will be discounted.
Show management reserves the right to require animal health certificates. Health inspection and
diagnostic tests may be made before or after animals are on the livestock show premises for exhibitor and
animal safety, or to inaugurate disease control procedures which may become necessary in emergencies as
determined by animal health officials. Any violation of the “Utah State Junior Livestock Code of Ethics”
or specific rules as designated by individual fairs and livestock shows will 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 competitions. Possible civil penalties may be imposed by 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 national levels. Other cooperating shows will be notified of the action taken by show
management, which may affect the eligibility of the individual, group, or sponsoring organization for
participation at other shows. The decision of the livestock show management will be final.
Dress Code -- 4-H – A long or short sleeve shirt, which fastens down the front with a collar, is
mandatory. Shirts must be solid white in color and need not be Western style. Black blue or white pants
are to be worn. There is to be a 4-H emblem or patch on all 4-H member shirts.
FFA – Either a solid white shirt, tie and FFA jacket, or a solid white shirt with the FFA emblem
and tie.
The following will not be allowed: T-shirts, tank tops, tube tops, sleeveless shirts and vests.
Exhibitors who fail to abide by dress standards will forfeit prize money.
12
Sales Fee -- A sales fee not to exceed 5% will be withheld from sales checks by all state assisted
shows. Any purchaser(s) of animals from a Junior Livestock Show Auction must pay the Show the full
purchase price of sale regardless of buy-back.
Change of Ownership -- Once an animal has gone through any state assisted sale, regardless of
buyback or no-sale, it is no longer eligible to enter another state assisted show.
Show Eligibility -- Animals are eligible for any show for which they meet ownership and show
requirements.
Lamb Docking Rule -- Market Class market lambs must be docked so that a representative from
the State Veterinarian’s office is able to determine that at least one caudal vertebrae (a portion of the tail) is
remaining. The veterinarian’s determination is final.
Name Change – If an animals has been shown in a market show in-state or out-of-state, it must be
shown in the same exhibitor name as in all subsequent shows.
MARKET ANIMAL RULES:
Drug Withdrawal -- It is unethical and in most cases even unlawful to administer drugs to
livestock within 20 to 30 days of slaughter. Animals too unmanageable to show should be withdrawn from
their class rather than be tranquilized. The local show committee and the show veterinarian will monitor
this situation. By federal regulations, random testing will occur at slaughter, and animals will be
condemned which have been given any injection or oral dosages of tranquilizers, pain killers, antibiotics,
diuretics, steroids, or other foreign substances during withdrawal periods before slaughter. All sales
money will be withheld in such cases. Blot medicine and other medications with no withdrawal
requirements may be permissible. Exhibitors need to be aware of potential health hazards to
consumers who eat animals that have received any above-mentioned dosages. Please do not put
someone’s life in jeopardy.
Tagging -- The Extension/4-H agent, FFA advisor, or a member of their appointed committee
shall tag each animal and process the proper forms. Should a tag be lost or pulled out of the animal’s ear,
the exhibitor will advise the committee supervisor immediately so the tag can be replaced and the
appropriate paperwork can be processed

department head no later than two hours after the last market animal class in that species has been
shown.
7. Exhibitors who show two market animals must notify the Department Head within two hours
after the class has shown which animal will be sold through the auction and whether the
remaining animal will be floored, sent to slaughter or taken home. If the exhibitor fails to inform
the Department Head which animal is to be sold, the Stockshow committee will decide which of
the two animals will be placed in the sale order.
8. Exhibitors who fail to bring their animal to the sale ring at the appointed time in the sale order
