1 DEFINITIONS
(a) For the purpose of Classifications, an exhibit shall be interpreted as follows: All purebred registered animals, whether owned by one person or by more than one person (individually or jointly), are considered to be the production of the farm or breeding unit on which they are maintained.
(b) A Breeding Unit is defined as follows: In each classification where the same or common interests are involved in more than one breeding operation, such operations are considered as one Breeding Unit. In all cases where there is any doubt that more than one breeding unit exists, the interpretation shall be that only one breeding unit exists. The responsibility of proof of separation of breeding units shall rest with the exhibitor(s).
2. Number of exhibits Per Breeding Unit. A fair has the authority to increase the number of exhibits from a breeding unit from 10 to 12 exhibits to allow 4-H calves to be shown by 4-H members in open classes. Such additional exhibits will not be eligible to compete in the Breeder’s Herd class. All exhibits must be owned by and registered as purebred in the name of the exhibitor. Note exceptions in the Breeder’s Herd Class. There is no restriction on multiple exhibits in any classes excluding the Breeder’s Herd class.
