LIVESTOCK CARE AGREEMENT

By signing below, I agree to provide humane treatment to my livestock project animals. This includes but is not limited to proper feeding, watering, and cleaning of pens throughout the entire fair week. In the event the superintendent notes improper care of cleanliness of my pen, I accept the following consequences which will occur:

1. FIRST OFFENSE: Pen to be red-tagged. Cleanliness or proper feeding must be resolved within three hours. A form, signed by the superintendent and exhibitor, will be completed and turned in to the fair office by the superintendent. Parents and/or leader will be notified of First Offense.

2. SECOND OFFENSE: Defined by the cleanliness or proper feeding not being corrected after the First Offense and/or the second incident during fair week. Exhibitor will have $25.00 deducted from the exhibitor's Livestock Sale Check and/or premium monies. A form will be completed and turned in to the fair office outlining the offense, signed by the superintendent. Parents and/or leader of the exhibitor will be notified. In cases where the animal did not sell at the auction, the exhibitor's premium monies will be withheld.

3. THIRD OFFENSE: Defined by the cleanliness or proper feeding not being corrected after the First Offense, and notification that the Second Offense has been enforced and/or the third incident during fair week. The exhibitor will not be allowed to show livestock at next year's fair. A form outlining the offense will be signed by the exhibitor, parents and/or leader, and superintendent and filed with the fair office. Parents and Exhibitor must present to fair board.  If Third Offense takes place prior to the Jr. Livestock Sale, the exhibitor will be required to remove his/her livestock project from the county park immediately. The exhibitor will forego any premiums on said project and the right to sell his/her livestock at the Jr. Livestock Sale. If the livestock project has placed grand or reserve in its project area, the exhibitor in lieu of removing their project from the county park will be fined five percent of their sales price at the Jr. Livestock Sale, in addition to the Second Offense fine.

I further agree to clean my pen (s) and feed and water my livestock prior to 10 a.m. each day of the fair. I further agree to clean my pen (s) as necessary throughout the day, and feed and water my livestock by

7 p.m. each day. Definition of clean pen:
