The 4-H/FFA Livestock Premium Recognition will be held on Sunday, the last day of the fair, in the Livestock Show Arena. Participants must dress in show attire. (See Dress Code in General Livestock Rules). Exhibitors who show beef, horse, dairy, bucket calf, sheep, swine, goats, rabbits and poultry are eligible. We do understand that there are circumstances beyond your control and/or conflicts that occur. If a 4-Hers animal is unable to be present when required or will be removed before the scheduled release time, the 4-H exhibitor MUST submit in writing a letter explaining his/her circumstance and request permission for such an exemption. This letter must be presented to the Cedar County 4-H Council prior to their July meeting. By submitting this letter, 4-Hers are aware that they WILL NOT be eligible for Livestock Premium Recognition (if applicable), premiums on the animal(s) being removed, or eligible for Round Robin. Due to emergencies that arise at the fair regarding a 4-Hers animal, there is an Emergency 4-H Animal Removal Form in the back of the fairbook or on the website. This form needs to be filled out with the proper signatures and handed directly to a Nebraska Extension staff member in Cedar County. Removal of animals without proper documentation will result in the forfeiture of all premium monies including premium recognition monies. All premiums solicited from donors will be used for the current years’ premium which will be pooled and divided among participating 4-H and FFA exhibitors. The most equitable formula will be used in calculating premiums. 4-H members will bring in their Premium Recognition thank you cards to the Extension Office prior to receiving their money. If they bring their cards to the Extension Office, we will mail them, pay for postage, and they will pick up their money in person.
