NEW for 2018! YQCA Certification requirement. All junior exhibitors exhibiting livestock and small animals must be YQCA certified at the time of entry. The YQCA certification program is a national education program built around foundational pillars of (animal welfare, food safety and character education) animal agriculture. The program is offered online or in person at regional locations throughout Wisconsin. For more information go to YQCA.org. 1) An exhibitor may enter, bring, and show up to 3 breeding gilts and up to 2 market barrows for a total of 5 animals. Exhibitors may NOT enter more animals than the total allowed to show. Barrows may be eligible to show in the following divisions: market, bred and owned and performance if the barrows meet the division qualifications and are entered appropriately. Examples: 1) Sally Smith is entering 2 market barrows (barrow A and barrow B) in the market show but not entering those two barrows (again, barrows A and B) in the performance division, Sally Smith may NOT enter different barrows (barrow C and barrow D) into the performance division. 2) Sally Smith is entering one market barrow (barrow A) in the market show but not entering that same barrow (again, barrow A) in the performance division. Sally Smith could enter ONE different barrow (barrow B) in the performance division. 3) Sally Smith is only entering 2 performance barrows (barrows A and B) in the performance division (and not the market show), Sally Smith cannot enter any other barrows in the performance division or the market division. Junior Exhibitors may enter the same breeding gilt in both the Open and Junior Shows. Junior Exhibitors may NOT show the same market barrow in both the Open and Junior Shows. Open and Junior department fees must be paid with separate checks or money orders along with proper entry forms by the respective entry deadline. 2) Entries with proper fees, must be submitted directly to Wisconsin State Fair. Breeding gilt entry: must contain complete information including class number, birthdate, ear notch, name and registration number or they will be returned. A copy of the official breed registration certificate for the officially entered breeding gilts must accompany entry (registration certificate for substitute breeding gilts need not be submitted at the time of entry). Special consideration may be granted for registration certificates not available by the entry deadline. Please entryoffice@wistatefair.com no later than June 1 st if registration certificates are not available by the entry deadline. Exhibitors entering online must provide a copy by one of the following methods: uploading a pdf with online entries OR faxing a copy to (Attn: Entry Department) by June 6 th (Please note: a cover sheet MUST be included which includes the exhibitor s name and number of pages being faxed) OR ing a copy to entryoffice@wistatefair.com by June 6 th OR mailing a hard copy postmarked by June 6 th. Market barrows entry: all barrows must be listed as Market Barrow. The breed, tattoo and DNA and RFID tag number need not be listed at the time of entry. Registration Certificates for market animals need not accompany entry forms but must be presented at the Fair. Substitution: Breeding gilt: For every breeding gilt entered a potential substitute can be identified (within department) at the time of entry. Example: An exhibitor enters 3 swine (2 breeding gilts and 1 market barrow) the exhibitor can identify no more than 2 additional breeding gilts as potential substitutes. For breeding gilts, animal name, birthdate, registration number, tattoo/tag and breed must be listed. All potential breeding animal substitutes must be declared at the time of entry (June 6 th ). Registration certificates for potential breeding gilt substitutes do not need to be submitted at the time of entry (June 6 th ).

5 certificate. To activate a potential substitute animal after July 30 th, please notify the department staff at check in and present the animal s registration certificate. Market barrow: Need only be listed as market barrows. Specific market barrow substitutes need not be declared at the time of entry because these barrows were previously DNA and RFID identified through WLIC by the Wisconsin State Fair deadline. To streamline the check-in process we will list the RFID ear tag number on the entry form for those exhibitors who know which barrow(s) they are bringing to the Fair; however, it is not mandatory to list the RFID tag number on the entry form. 3) Animal Registration: Breed association issued registration certificates for all registered animals must be submitted to Fair management at check-ins.
