DEPARTMENT LIVESTOCK SHOWMANSHIP
- Each exhibitor can show only in one division for each species of livestock.
- An exhibitor must show his own livestock.
- The animal used for showmanship must have been exhibited during the current fair.
- An animal can be shown in only one showmanship class.
- Exhibitors are required to wear the county 4-H t-shirt or a white shirt (or blouse) with the official 4-H chevron or FFA emblem attached, a 4-H T-shirt, or a FFA T-shirt. Dark blue jeans and hard soled shoes or boots are required. No hats, caps or other types of headgear are to be worn in the show ring.
- Showmanship judging is based on preparation of animals for show, their apparent training and the appearance and behavior of the showman. Minor technical points are not to be overemphasized, nor do minor infractions disqualify. Primarily in showmanship, it is the skill of the showman in presenting the animal before the judge that counts, while individual excellence of the animal does not.
- The division superintendents may disqualify any 4-H’er from showmanship for any violation of rules or unsportsman-like conduct at the Nance County Fair.
- BLOW & GO - See General Livestock Rules for more information. Fly spray is allowed.
