TROY FAIR/4-H ROUNDUP DAIRY SHOW POLICIES:
SUBSTITUTIONS: If for some reason, an animal you enter is not able to show, substitutions may be made. You may substitute “junior” animals, under 2 years of age, for junior animals and “senior” animals, 2 years or older, for senior animals.
ROUND-UP CHAPERONES: Each club must have at least 1 adult chaperone staying with 4-H members in the barns the night before Round up. RADIOS WILL BE TURNED OFF BY 11:00 P.M. Quiet time will be enforced after 11:00 p.m.
***PLEASE NOTE: ONLY 4-H AND FFA DAIRY EXHIBITORS WHO HAVE CATTLE PRESENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO STAY OVERNIGHT IN THE DAIRY BARNS. ALL OTHER YOUTH MUST BE OUT OF THE BARN AREA BY 11:00 PM
MANURE REMOVAL POLICY: Exhibitors are responsible for the removal of all wet manure/bedding from the barns to a central location point. We suggest you bring a wheelbarrow to share with other club members. Stalls are to contain dry bedding only when you leave the barn.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: There is no other event in our area that draws a larger number of people with little or no agricultural background than the Troy Fair. This is a great opportunity for 4-H and FFA members to show agriculture in a positive light and to educate the public on the very positive aspects of agriculture and the dairy industry.
Exhibitors should be willing to explain daily tasks and to answer questions from people viewing their animals. If you are asked a question you are not sure how to answer, find the nearest leader, extension agent, or parent and have them help you explain. Showing dairy cattle is a learning experience for the 4-H member as well as the people visiting the fair.
