New dairy feeder calf show

Posted on 6:24 AM by Unknown
Have you wanted to show cattle at the Fair, but haven't had the opportunity? Are full-grown animals just too large or expensive for you to show? 

The Ohio State Fair's newest livestock show might just give you the chance. 

New for 2014, the Fair will offer junior livestock exhibitors the opportunity to show dairy feeder calves. The show will run July 28 through 30 in the Cooper Arena during the 161st Fair.

The feeder calves that will be shown in the competition are typically born in February or March of 2014 and will weigh in between 300 and 600 pounds during the Fair, July 23 - August 3.

The cost to care for young calves is typically lower, making this show more accessible for young Ohioans. These animals are also smaller and easier to handle. 

The Fair hopes that offering this show will allow new junior exhibitors who may have not previously entered livestock competitions at the State Fair to get the chance to participate, and hopefully take home a blue ribbon!

Entries will be limited to pure-bred Holstein, Red and White, and Brown Swiss dairy calves. Calves will not be sold at the conclusion of the show, and therefore may be entered in county or other livestock competitions following the Ohio State Fair. Information on how to enter can be found online at ohiostatefair.com. Entries must be submitted online or by mail no later than June 20.

More than $20,000 in scholarships available

Posted on 9:13 AM by Unknown
The Ohio State Fair offers scholarships to high school students and recent graduates in an effort to recognize their accomplishments as junior fair exhibitors. Applications for the 2014 scholarships are currently available online now. Completed applications must be postmarked by June 15, 2014

High school juniors and seniors during the current (2013-2014) academic year, as well as recent high school graduates who are continuing their education at an accredited institution in an undergraduate course of study in any field, are eligible to apply.

Applicants will be judged on scholastic standing, citizenship and leadership, Ohio State Fair participation, county fair participation and financial need. Scholarships will be presented during the Sale of Champions at the Ohio State Fair held on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014.

Established in 1995, the Youth Reserve Program’s was developed to reward junior exhibitors who participate in the Ohio State Fair. Funds for the program come from the dollars received over a cap that is placed on the amount an exhibitor can receive from the Sale of Champions. The funds from the program are distributed among carcass contests, scholarships, outstanding market exhibitor program, outstanding breeding exhibitor program, showmanship, skillathons, 4-H and FFA. The Youth Reserve Program has awarded $2,291,925 to approximately 31,500 youth exhibitors since its inception.
