The Cattle for Kids committee reserves the right to review or change any of these rules on an annual basis before the new Fair Book is printed. Entry forms for these two “Special Awards” programs can be found on the following page and online at www.weldcountyfair.com. Please send these completed forms with your Breeding Beef fair entry. A. $200 COW CALF INCENTIVE AWARD. 1. Cattle For Kids will award $200 to an exhibitor the first time a previously shown (at Weld County Fair) female is brought back to a future Fair as the cow in a cow/calf pair. 2. An exhibitor may enter a female in this program while showing her at the Fair by filing, with Fair staff, the information which will permanently identify this female. That information will be kept on record so the female can be identified to receive the $200 award when she comes back the first time, to a future Fair as the cow in a cow/calf pair. (It does not have to be the first year after she was entered in the program). 3. To receive the $200 award the cow must be owned and shown by the same exhibitor that owned and shown her when she was entered in the program. 4. An exhibitor may not receive more than two (2) $200 awards from this Cow/Calf Incentive program in a given year. 5. A heifer calf initially shown as part of a cow/calf pair will be eligible for the $200 award if she returns to a later Fair as the cow of a cow/calf pair if the required identification documentation is provided (as with other heifers). 6. A cow shown as part of a cow/calf pair that was not previously entered in the program, may be entered and be eligible to receive the $200 award when she is brought back to the Fair in a future year with another calf at side. 7. It will be the responsibility of the exhibitor to provide documentation of a female’s permanent identification, as follows, when she is entered in the Cow/Calf Incentive program.
For registered females:
a. A copy of the female’s registration papers MUST be turned in with the entry form to Cattle For Kids b. A legible tattoo as indicated on the registration papers.
For commercial females:
a. At least a two-digit (preferably 3 digits) tattoo in at least one ear (preferably same tattoo in each ear). Tattoo must be legible; Bangs tattoo does not qualify.
B. $2,000 HEIFER PURCHASE AWARD: A drawing to award, to eligible exhibitors, $2,000 for use toward the purchase of a registered heifer. 1. All 4-H or FFA members that show a breeding beef animal at the 2021 Weld County Fair and who will be eligible to show at the 2022 Weld County Fair can participate in the drawing, except previous winners of this award. Eligible exhibitor may only enter at one fair. 2. The drawing will be held at the Weld County Fair Awards Program. All eligible participants (one entry per exhibitor) will have their name put “in the hat” and the name(s) drawn will be the winner(s) of the award. 3. The award money is intended for purchase of a breeding beef prospect that meets the following conditions: a. The animal must be a heifer prospect that is of the appropriate age to be shown at the next Weld County Fair. (i.e. a heifer calf prospect) b. The animal must be a registered heifer of any breed of cattle. Commercial or “non-papered” cattle will not qualify for use of this award. c. The animal must be purchased from a breeder in Weld County or in a county contiguous to (bordering) Weld County in Colorado, but not from the family of the award recipient. Counties contiguous to Weld County in Colorado are Logan, Morgan, Adams, Boulder and Larimer. A breeder will be considered to be located in these counties if the operations and management headquarters for the breeder’s cattle business is located within these counties. 4. A check for the award money will be payable to the seller of the animal – not to the winning exhibitor. The $2,000 does not have to be the maximum amount spent for a heifer. The winner may choose to add some of their own money toward the purchase of a heifer. Documentation of the registration (or eligibility) of the heifer to be purchased must be provided to the “Cattle For Kids” committee before a check will be issued. 6. The winning exhibitor has until February 1, 2022 to identify the purchased heifer and the seller who is to receive the $2,000. 7. If the award is not redeemed by February 1, 2022 a runner up winner will be chosen and will have until May 1, 2022 to identify the purchased heifer and the seller who is to receive the $2,000. 8. The winning exhibitor must enter and show the purchased animal in its respective Registered class at the 2021 Weld County Fair. For 4-H members, the deadline for enrolling a 4-H project is April 30 each year. 9. Each exhibitor will be asked to fill out a form verifying that he or she is eligible to show at the next Weld County Fair and that they wish to participate in the drawing. The final pool of names to be in the drawing will be reviewed by at least two Cattle For Kids committee members and an appropriate Extension Office to confirm eligibility. 10. The Cattle For Kids committee reserves the right to do the following: a. If the winning exhibitor elects to not purchase an eligible heifer, elects to not show at the next Weld County Fair and/or does not purchase an eligible heifer by the designated deadline the Cattle For Kids Committee may give the award to the next runner up. b. If, for any reason, the winner or back-up winner does not redeem the $2,000 for purchase of an eligible heifer, then Cattle For Kids reserves the right to put the money back into the CFK account for use in the future.
