PROTESTS MINNESOTA YOUTH LIVESTOCK EXPO - WWW.MNYOUTHLIVESTOCKEXPO.COM

Any protest must be made in writing and accompanied by a deposit of $500, of which the deposit will be forfeited if the protest is not sustained. Said protest must state plainly the cause of complaint or appeal, and must be filed with the MYLE Management Committee within five hours after the award was made, being considered when the award was made when a ribbon or premium card was placed. In addition to the right to protest herein guaranteed to exhibitors, management reserves the right to take cognizance of fraud consummated or attempted in connection with an exhibit and take such action as may be deemed just and proper and as may be warranted.

All Other Disputes All questions of dispute or differences not provided for under the rules and regulations shall be referred to the MYLE Management Committee, whose decision shall be final.

OBJECTIONABLE EXHIBITS MYLE Management Committee reserves the right to remove from the grounds any exhibit, animal, stand or show that may be falsely entered, or may be deemed unsuitable or objectionable, without assigning a reason therefore, and, if necessary in MYLE sole discretion, return any money already paid for space or stalls which shall exonerate MYLE from any liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, suits, actions, injuries, demands, proceedings and claims whatsoever on the part of the exhibitor or purchaser.

DAMAGE, LOSS OR INJURY Any damage, loss or injury caused to the fairgrounds, another exhibitor or their exhibits will be the liability of the person(s) causing the damage. The Minnesota Youth Livestock Expo and associated show management shall in no way be held liable or responsible for the damage or injury caused.

ANIMAL HEALTH REQUIREMENTS ALL SPECIES. Livestock Health Regulations and Identification. All animals will be inspected by the official veterinarian the opening day of the exhibition and daily during the exhibition. The official veterinarian will order the immediate removal to a quarantine facility, or from the exhibition premises, any animal showing clinical signs of any infectious, contagious or communicable disease, including ringworm and warts.

All Beef, Sheep & Goat entries must be ID’d with an acceptable form of official identification: USDA Federal tag or 4-H tag.

Please see https://www.bah.state.mn.us/official-id/ for an official acceptable list of identification. Examples are listed on page 11 and 27.

All Swine entries will be identified with Animal Identification Number (AIN) System which consists of 15 digits beginning with the official country code - ‘840’ for the United States. Minnesota 4-H tags do fulfill the 840-tag requirement.

Any animal showing evidence of any disease, abscesses, or any open contagious lesions will not be allowed to exhibit or show, and will be subject to isolation or expulsion depending on the nature and seriousness of the disease, abscess or lesion in question. If illness of any nature is suspected in any animal, said animal is subject to examination by the State Veterinarian and owner or exhibitor of said animal must abide by the decision of this veterinarian. Animals with warts or ringworm may not be shown. A statement from a veterinarian that an animal is being treated for these diseases is not acceptable. Animals known by the exhibitor to have an infectious, communicable disease or to have been exposed to an infectious, communicable disease, or to be from a quarantined flock may not be entered in an exhibition.

Identification. The goal of these ID requirements is to uniquely identify animals so they can be traced to their source in a disease outbreak. All cattle, swine, sheep and goats exhibited at the expo must have official identification (ID) that meets the requirements of both state and federal animal identification rules. The type of ID used in each species may vary, but each official ID is unique to that animal within the United States. For pictures of official ear tags and more information about official ID in livestock, visit the Board of Animal Health Official ID page at bah.state.mn.us/official-id/, examples are also available on page 11 for the Fairmont (Beef, Sheep and Goat) exhibits and page 27 for the Jackson (Swine) exhibits. There are no state or federal requirements at this time to officially identify rabbits.
