Clover Kid Animal Guidelines
· Age, size, and temperament of animal projects must be appropriate for the exhibitor’s age and size.
· For Bucket Calf, Goat (Meat or Dairy), Swine, and Sheep: Clover Kid animal exhibits are to be no more than six months of age and no more than 350 pounds at time of show.
· For Bucket Calf, Goat (Meat or Dairy), Swine, and Sheep: exhibited in the Clover Kid Class must be checked in by specific species check in time and must stay until check out time on Sunday of Fair.
· Clover Kid mentoring program – Clover Kids may purchase their own animals to show at the York County Fair. However, the Clover Kid Mentoring Program is an option for Clover Kids to show an animal without purchasing that animal.
· A current York County 4‑H Member may share an animal with one Clover Kid throughout the year. In order to show that animal, the Clover Kid must complete the identification process and turn in their own identification sheets by proper due dates.

· Clover Kid animal entries MUST abide by the “Care of Exhibits” and “Livestock/Animal Health Requirements” found in the General and Animal Rules and Regulations and by the “Dress Code” for the species exhibited
