education as represented by the bureau of agricultural
education with its headquarters at the state education
building, Sacramento, California.

state and Puerto Rico, under the supervision of the

Exhibits produced by youth exhibitors while
enrolled or participating in 4-H, FFA or any
other junior farm organization programs are
allowed to exhibit within the Youth & Teen
Department.
Each Entry in these divisions shall have
been made, collected or produced by the
exhibitor not more than one year prior to
opening day of the Fair. Use the Junior
Department Entry Form.
State, Local rules and score cards apply to
all entries in corresponding Adult
Departments and shall be used unless
otherwise specified in the Youth & Teens
Department,
Exhibitors must check carefully for size
restrictions and any other “limits” particular
to a division.
JUDGING:
At every opportunity the value of the blue
ribbon should be stressed. The blue ribbon
represents, or should represent, the
perfection for which the Youth & Teen
exhibitors are striving with their products.
The educational and moral value of
achieving this perfection should result in a
future economic return which will be far
greater than the immediate return in the form
of cash awards.
DANISH JUDGING SYSTEM will be used
for exhibitors ages 5 through 18 in all
contests. It is based upon established
standards of quality for each type of product.
In this system each exhibit is judged
according to how well it meets that standard
rather than how it compares with other
exhibit.
The following guidelines shall be used by
the judge(s):
Quality:

are witnessing many changes and
different opinions in the beef industry
today as to what constitutes the ideal
market animal. Variations in yields of
retail cuts among beef carcasses are
accounted for mainly by the amount of fat
that must be trimmed in preparing the
cuts, and thickness and fullness of the
muscling.
