4-H & FFA EXHIBITOR GUIDE

    any further 4-H/FFA show or sale anywhere. Exhibitor not complying with this regulation will not be
    allowed to participate in the Fair the following year and will forfeit all proceeds from the sale of
    their animal.
65. The Canyon County Fair Market Livestock Sale is a terminal sale as defined by Idaho 4-H Policies and

    Canyon County Fair Market Livestock Sale cannot be returned to the 4-H member (seller) and
    continue as a project animal in the current program year.
66. Exhibitor is responsible for market animal until it is loaded on the truck. If an animal dies prior to
    that time, the circumstances will be reviewed by the Market Livestock Sale Executive Committee to
    determine payout, if any. Each 4-H Club/FFA Chapter will make arrangements with members to see
    that the animals are fed and watered prior to shipping. The Fair and Extension Office are not

    the packer by a member of the Market Livestock Sale Committee or their designated hauler. Animals
    purchased for personal use may be picked up with appropriate bill of sale at the designated time set
    by the Market Livestock Sale Committee.
68. A deduction will be made from the total amount of the sale of each animal before checks are
    distributed. The amount deducted will be determined by the Market Livestock Sale Committee
    based on actual costs. This money will be used for expenses such as promotion, buyer recognition,
    sale operation, and trucking.
69. A $2.00 fee for beef and a $1.00 fee for sheep, goats and swine is assessed from each animal sold
    and these fees will be used to maintain a condemned carcass fund, which will be available to
    reimburse an exhibitor for any carcass condemned by the packer due to natural causes. Any carcass
    condemned from the effects produced by use of illegal or prohibited treatment or by neglect or
    abuse is the responsibility of the exhibitor. The exhibitor will not receive any funds from the sale of
    these animals. All market beef sold in the sale will be slaughtered at a designated location so carcass
    data can be available.
70. Sale checks will be mailed to individual members, using addresses from the online fair entry system.
    Please verify your mailing address is correct. Checks will be released in two batches: The first in
    early September and the second in late October. Exact dates will be published in the September

    until all support of that member has paid the Canyon County Fair Market Livestock Sale Committee.
