🐄🐑🐖 It’s that time of year! The Junior Livestock Committee (JLC)

will hear suggested rule changes on:

📅 Monday, September 22, 2025
🕕 6:00 p.m.

📌 Deadline to Submit Suggestions

All rule change suggestions must be submitted in writing to the Calaveras County Fairgrounds by:
📅 Wednesday, September 10, 2025
🕔 5:00 p.m.

✉️ Submission Options

📌 What You Need to Know

  • Local rules may be stricter than State Fair rules, but never less strict.
    👉 Example: State requires 120 days ownership for a market steer. A local fair may require 150 days, but not 90.

  • Meeting covers rule changes or enhancements only – not management or policy issues (judge selection, weigh-in schedule, etc.).

📌 Next Steps

1️⃣ JLC will take a position on each suggestion.
2️⃣ Recommendations move to the Fair Board for a final decision.
