The Clover Buddies Bucket/Bottle Calf show is open to any Plymouth County youth who are not yet old enough to be enrolled in 4-H, or are a first-year junior 4-Her, but are not exhibiting in the 4-H/FFA beef shows.
RULES
Any orphaned or newborn calf born between Jan. 1 and June 1, 2023 may be shown.
Calf must be bottle or bucket fed. No nursing calves permitted.
Only one calf may be shown at the fair.
No pre-registration with the Extension Office is necessary. There will be a short form to fill out when checking in the day of the show. The calf does not need to come to the check-in table, just the exhibitor and a parent/guardian.
Each exhibitor will be judged at the fair grounds on Wednesday, July 26 in regard to care and raising the calf. The judging, 5 to 10 minutes long for each exhibitor and will consist of a couple questions by the judge.
Calves must be shown at halter and broke to lead.
Calves shown in this class are not eligible to be shown in other classes at the fair.
No evidence of warts, ringworm, pinkeye, or infectious conditions.
Participation awards will be given to each exhibitor. There will be no placings determined.
No grooming or clipping. Washing and brushing is the only preparation needed prior to showing.
Calves will be released following the show. Due to tight space issues this year, all bucket/bottle calves will need to go home that night and will NOT be stalled on the fairgrounds.
Trailer parking will be available and calves will be stalled in the trailer.
