MISSOURI STATE FAIR & PUTNAM COUNTY 4-H/FFA OWNERSHIP OF ANIMALS: One of the objectives in owning an animal is to learn new skills in animal breeding, feeding, management and health. To accomplish this, the member should secure the animal as early in the year as possible. Livestock shows and exhibitions set up minimum dates for length of ownership necessary for exhibiting. For the Missouri State Fair the dates are: Beef Cattle - Steers 3/1 Bucket Calf—7/1 Breeding Animals 6/1 Sheep - Breeding Animals 7/1 Market Lambs 6/1 Swine - Breeding Gilts 90 days Breeding Boars Since farrowing Market Hogs 5/1 - P C Date 6/1 Dairy Cattle - All Dairy Cattle 6/1 Dairy Goats - 6/1 Meat Goats - 6/1 Dogs - 4/1 Horses - 5/1 Rabbits - 6/1 Meat pen must be less than 62 days of age prior to show Poultry - Meat pen 8-10 weeks prior to show

All members of the Putnam County FFA Chapter and members of the Putnam County 4-H Clubs are eligible for competition in the Junior Livestock Division at the Putnam County Fair. Those classes open to out of county members are so noted in the individual division Rules and Regulations. All out of county exhibitors will be charged an exhibitor division entry fee. Premiums will be paid on the Danish System, except in Championship classes. Exhibitors cannot show in both 4-H and FFA in the same category (breeding cattle, steers, market lambs, etc).

FFA AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS PROJECTS

To be eligible for a Putnam County Fair Ticket you must have at least 10 points

1. Articles exhibited must have been constructed by FFA members either as part of their agricultural mechanics instruction in vocational agricultural or as part of their supervised occupational experience programs.

2. An article can be shown only once at the Putnam County Fair, but does not have to be constructed during the year it is exhibited.

3. All articles must be painted or properly treated in the case of feeders, etc. All articles must be clean and in presentable condition even though they may have been used.

4. Each exhibitor is limited to a total of two entries in each class. 5. The points assigned to projects are based upon the amount and difficulty of the work involved, difficulty

and cost of moving, and the cost of materials. The points given below are for average projects of the kind listed. The FFA teacher may adjust the points up or down within a range of 50 percent when a project is unusual in size or difficulty, and it appears necessary in order to keep the points in balance.

6. Projects built to be used as one unit should be entered as one entry and not entered separately (example: trailer ramps should not be entered separately from the trailer if the trailer is being exhibited). The FFA teacher will make the final ruling if a question arises.

THOU SHALT be sure that thy child has animals entered and registration papers in order by the designated deadline. THOU SHALT NOT feed, train and care for the animal, for you are trying to teach the child responsibility and discipline. THOU SHALT forgive a child for making mistakes in the show ring, for thou hath made mistakes too. THOU SHALT NOT get mad when thy child forgets items in the show box, for one day thou may forget the show box. THOU SHALT help the show management, for they are doing a job thou would not want to do. THOU SHALT NOT complain about the judge, for it is his opinion that has been sought. One persons opinion on that day. THOU SHALT see that thy child is on time for all show activities, for thou would not want to wait on another. THOU SHALT teach thy child that winning a Blue Ribbon is a desirable goal, but making friends along the way is a more worthy goal. THOU SHALT remember that livestock projects are teaching projects, not necessarily money-making projects. THOU SHALT remember that thy livestock project is a family project that shall be enjoyed by the entire family!
