RABBITS
YQCA is required. Please see general 4-H rules.
Not more than 10(ten) rabbits may be entered by an exhibitor and up to 2 (two) entries per class in Section 961, 962 and 963 and one (1) entry per class in Section 964, and Skllathon classes do not count as part of the 10(ten). Tattoos must match the information found on the 4-H Affidavit. Rabbits whose tattoos are not readable or do not match the 4-H affidavit will not be allowed to show at the fair.
SHOWMANSHIP
Any 4-H’er with a rabbit may enter the competition. The participant may use any rabbit they choose, so long as it was raised and trained by the 4-H’er.
Basis for judging-showmanship is based on grooming and training of the rabbit and the appearance and behavior of the exhibitor. The exhibitor must vocally explain the steps in their routine and the merit of the rabbit. Primarily showmanship is the skill of the exhibitor in presenting and explaining the rabbit before the judge. The excellence of the rabbit is not considered in scoring.
Information on rabbit showmanship is found in 4-H 339, Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits; NATL4H 08080 Rabbit 1: What's Hoppening?, NATL4H 08081 Rabbit 2: Making Tracks and NATL4H 08082 Rabbit 3: All Ears and other resources may be available at the county extension office.
See rule #15 for dress code in General Rules pg 30. Protective arm guards are optional.
