General Information:
- Market beef and breeding heifers must be shown by the exhibitor unless excused by the superintendent.
- Heifers must be registered with proof of identification and registration provided prior to the show to be eligible for the registered breeding heifer class.
- Market heifers that have calved prior to show date are not consistent with the intent and purpose of this show and therefore not eligible to be shown at the Hall County Fair.
- Market beef animals must be tagged and identified by June 15.
- Market beef classes will be shown by weight at fair check-in. Heifers must weigh 850 and steers 900 pounds at entry time to be considered as market-ready beef. Lighter weight beef will be eligible for pre-market class exhibit but are not eligible for champion. No re-weighs permitted.
- Handling Equipment – Halters with throat straps, nose leads, barbed or studded show halter chain leads, and other equipment determined to be distracting or severe to the animal by the division superintendent will not be permitted.
- Grooming of Livestock – All Beef Shows will be “Blow and Go.” Animals may be clipped, blown, brushed or combed to enhance their appearance. Guidelines for the “Blow and Go” show: All animals will be shown free of any adhesive, glue, paint or powder products. Any compounds that have adhesive qualities that when applied cannot be combed or brushed through, or alter the color of the animal are forbidden. Alcohol, water, oil, foam or any water or alcohol-based products with no adhesives or glue qualities, or artificial colorings are permitted.
- Feeder calves must be born during the current year but before June 1. Feeder calves will be exhibited and released the same day. For County Fair the calf may be purchased or raised, and must be tagged and identified by June 15. In the cow/calf class the calf may be shown as a feeder calf.
- Champion and reserve rate-of-gain steer and heifer will be selected.
- The Bred and Fed class is limited to those animals that were born and raised by the exhibitor and/or immediate family.
