We have some very important information that we know some families have been waiting on. After much discussion and deliberation, this is the rule passed by the Sale Committee to clarify weight discrepancies and the use of back-up animals in the case a primary animal does not make weight. We want you to read this information very carefully as we want to continue making sure our weigh-in process runs smoothly and efficiently. If you have any suspicion that your primary animal will not make weight and you have any distance to travel you should be bringing that back- up with you, we will not run weigh-in beyond our scheduled time for individuals to travel and pick up animals. Also, if you have a back-up animal and your primary animal is most definitely going to make weight, this is not the time to be deliberating on what animal you want to show, that decision needs to be made prior to fair. These rules are here to make sure members have the greatest chance to participate in the case of extenuating circumstances so PLEASE read carefully and reach out to us with questions prior to weigh-in if needed.
New clarification:
1)Weight discrepancies that do not deal with an animal making minimum weight must be declared at the scale. The animal will be taken off the scale, scale will be balanced, and the animal will be reweighed. The second weight will be the weight that is used.
2) If a member weighs their primary animal and it does not make weight and they have a tagged back-up animal as an individual or household, they may opt to weigh and use the back-up animal at the end of the designated weigh-in time for that species.
3) If a member weighs their primary animal and it does not make weight and they do not have a tagged back-up animal, they may take their animal to their assigned pen in their designated barn and feed and water their animal using 4-H and FFA approved guidelines and bring the animal back for a reweigh at the end of the designated weigh-in time for that species. If the animal still does not make weight the member is still eligible to participate in showmanship and may put up a sign to sell their animal after the completion of the sale on Saturday.
