4. Each member may tag more than two (2) animals of each species and may show all in the market class for which they are eligible. If two animals are in the same weight class, another Apache County 4-H/FFA member may show the other animal. Whenever possible, members must show their own animal. Only one animal of a species per member may be sold through the sale. Additionally, a member is limited to selling two animals through the sale with each animal being a different species. They must meet weight requirements and receive a red or blue ribbon in the market class.
5. MARKET WEIGHT REQUIREMENT AT OFFICIAL WEGHT-IN AT THE APACHE COUNTY FAIR:
Lamb: 110-160 (Dry Weight) Swine: 220-290 Beef: 1,000+
Goat: 70-110 (must have milk teeth)
6. Records must be kept by the 4-H’er itemizing all costs, returns, starting and final weights. The 4-H Record Book must be submitted to the Apache County 4-H Office by August 27, 2012.
7. To ensure all buyers are purchasing a finished quality product at a premium price, an announcement will be made during the auction regarding animals that are not market ready.
8. If the judge deems that an animal is not market ready the livestock committee, seller or buyer will:
– designate a feeding location.
– purchase feed for the designated time period.
– have feed and maintenance cost deducted from member’s
livestock check.
9. Only those animals receiving a red or blue ribbon will be sold. No white ribbon animals will be sold as they are not in market condition. Only animals that meet the market weight requirement will be allowed to participate in the market class. All 4-H project animals can participate in showmanship regardless of the animal’s weight.
10. Sale order will be determined by the Livestock Committee.
11. Parents, 4-H exhibitors and project leaders will serve as a committee to advertise and enlist buyers for the Apache County Jr. Livestock Auction. Marketing the finished project is part of the learning connected with animal projects.
12. There is a 5% deduction or a minimum charge of $15.00, whichever is more, for every animal sold, to cover expenses.

20. In 2012, it is strongly recommended that a 4-H member raise and show a lamb, hog and/or goat prior to raising and showing a steer for the first time. Safety of the 4-H member and all other 4-H members in the wash area and show arena is a major concern.
