market goats must compete in one of the pre-Fair District Shows or
Kentucky Junior Livestock Expos sponsored by Kentucky Department
of Agriculture, Division of Show and Fair Promotion. Qualifying
shows are subject to Kentucky Department of Agriculture and 4-H
and FFA guidelines. Novice exhibitors of market animals are not
required to attend a qualifying show to be eligible to compete at the
Kentucky State Fair. The Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo is not
a qualifying show.
Youth market hog exhibitors whose animals orginate from and are
raised and maintained within a closed swine herd shall be exempted
from the qualifying show rule provided the following conditions are
met:
1. The youth exhibitor or their parents or legal guardians currently
operate a legitimate, closed swine herd. [NOTE: A closed swine herd
is one in which, due to herd health considerations, off-site animals are
4-H/FFA Youth Livestock
not allowed into the herd, and one in which animals that have been
transported off-site are not allowed to return to the herd.]
2. The youth exhibitor’s market hogs orginate from and are raised and
maintained as a part of the closed swine herd.
3. Youth exhibitors that are exempted from the qualifying show
rule may still participate in any KDA-sponsored swine show or the
Kentucky State Fair. For example, any KUIP tagged market hog that
is removed from a closed swine herd and shown at a KDA-sponsored
swine show is ineligible to participate in another KDA-sponsored
show or the Kentucky State Fair.
4. Youth exhibitors requesting exemption from the qualifying show
rule must contact Zach Bartenslager by July 10 for a Qualifying
Show Rule Exemption Request Form, which must be signed and
returned to Zach Bartenslager indicating the conditions listed above
are applicable and will be met.
