  • All youth who qualify to show in the Round Robin must be able to show all species of animals which include: horse, swine, sheep, goat and beef. A youth who is uncomfortable with showing all these species can pass and the opportunity will go to the next youth who qualified.

  • No waddle swine breeds will be accepted by the floor buyer in 2026. Families can still show them and take them through the premium sale.
  • The showing of all species of livestock will be a No-fit Show, except for horses. "No Fit" is defined as using no adhesive, glue, paint, oil, polish, or powder products. Water only is acceptable for fitting. Animals may be clipped, blown, brushed, or combed to enhance their appearance. This rule applies to the livestock shows and the Stanley Stout Memorial 4-H Auction.
  • Animals that do not make the minimum weight will show in an underweight class and will not be eligible to show for Grand or Reserve Grand Champion in market hog, lamb, goat, and beef classes. They will not be allowed to sell in the Livestock Auction.
