Livestock Bowl
Friday, August 19, 1:00 PM
Show Barn

Clarke County youth will have the opportunity to win a steer, lamb, pig, goat or a pair of meat rabbit breeders to be shown and sold at the 2012 Clarke County Fair. The Livestock Bowl will be divided into the following divisions: (a) Beef, (b) Sheep, (c) Swine, (d) Goats and (e) Meat Rabbits.
Each division is open to any Clarke County 4-H/FFA member who has not won an animal in that division in the past. Each division will consist of three sections:

1. Livestock Trivia
2. Judge one class of appropriate species
3. Stockman’s Quiz

Each of the three areas will be worth 50 points. The individual(s) with the highest point total in each division will receive a steer, lamb, pig, goat or pair of meat rabbit breeders to raise, show and sell at the 2011 Clarke County Fair. If more than one steer, lamb, pig, goat or meat rabbit is donated, the individual with the highest point in each division will select their choice of steer, lamb, pig, goat or meat rabbit and the individual with the next highest point in that division will receive the other animal. A contestant may enter all five divisions but may be a winner in only one division. The steer will be given by October 1, 2011, and the lambs, pigs and goats will be given by the June 2012 Weigh-In. Meat rabbit breeders will be given by March 2012.The winner of the pair of meat rabbit breeders will be required to breed the rabbits and raise the litter. He/She will then select three 10-12 week old babies and enter them in next year's fair as a Pen of Meat Rabbits.
