www.royalfair.org THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL WINTER FAIR 2014 BEEF CATTLE COMPETITION november 7 – 16, 2014 With the right advice, the Martins were able to raise more than cattle. TD is committed to helping farmers build for the future. When the Martin family wanted to raise the productivity of their dairy business, they turned to Dalton Potter for guidance. Dalton is a seasoned TD Canada Trust Agriculture Specialist and a farmer himself, and with his help, the Martins were able to buy a new farm in a prime location. Our understanding of agriculture and financing, combined with a personalized approach, is how we’re helping families like the Martins get exactly what they’re looking for.

As we build on our traditions and incorporate new features, this year’s Fair promises to be our best ever. Showcasing Canadian agriculture is our mission — it’s in our history and it’s in our blood. The Royal is passionate about providing an opportunity for exhibitors to display their very best, in competition with each other and to showcase our best to the world through shows and sales. Paul Larmer President Royal Agricultural Winter Fair This year, The Royal is pleased to once again host multiple national livestock shows including the Simmental, Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Holstein and Jersey shows in addition to the Canadian Meat Goat Association East National Show. The TD Youth Congress Weekend will showcase Canada’s young and aspiring 4-Hers as they compete in various venues and competitions. Over 1200 youth will showcase their talent and in the process, they’ll be building their skills for future leadership in agriculture. The Road to The Royal is challenging for these young people. The path to The Royal takes on new relevance as we increase the Fair’s exposure to local food and cuisine through our Road to the Royal Chef Challenge. Following regional competitions at local fairs, The Road To The Royal winners will come to this year’s Fair to compete against other winners in exciting, crowd-pleasing competitions. That’s just the beginning of what you can expect to see in food at The Royal. From the For The Love of Food feature exhibit to The Amazing Food Journey to jam and jelly competitions, everyone stands to learn and experience the farm-to-fork story we present at The Royal. It all adds up to “farm fresh fun” for city and country visitors alike. As the world’s premier indoor food and agricultural fair, this 10-day event demands the dedication and support of hundreds of exhibitors, staff and volunteers. On behalf of The Royal’s Board of Directors, I extend our sincere appreciation to all our exhibitors, corporate and government sponsors, private donors, volunteers and of course our Canadian and global visitors for their continued support of this remarkable event. We’re building on 92 years of tradition — and the best is yet to come. Follow us at www.royalfair.org to ensure you don’t miss anything this year’s Fair has to offer.

Charlie was a major supporter of many junior shows, and the one that he held closest to him was the junior show at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Both of his children exhibited at this show for many years, which he felt was the highest accomplishment they could achieve during their years in 4-H. Although Charlie judged countless shows throughout North America and the rest of the world, the pinnacle of his judging career was to be selected to take part in the 2004 Junior Beef Heifer show as the conformation judge. He had waited many years for his children to finish their tenure with this show, with the hopes that one day he would have the privilege of being selected to judge it himself. It is with his spirit and memory in mind, that we, the Watson Family offer this award. The Wat-Cha name has been synonymous with world-class breeding and home-grown genetics. As such, it is with great pride that we designate the Charles John Watson Memorial Award to the person who has both bred and raised the best 4-H animal. Exhibitors must check the appropriate box on the Youth Livestock Entry Form to be eligible for this award. 59 2014 QUEEN’S GUINEAS COMPETITION SECTION 100 COMPETITION INFORMATION Chairman: Len Dobbin Committee Andrew Barfett Jennifer Dobbin Margie Fenner Brad Gilchrist Jess Gilchrist Kristie Gilchrist Wade Graham Dave Kearns Johnathon McNeil Brad Miller Katie Sinclair Jeff Scott Amanda Scott Laura Scott Entry Closing Date: Time of Arrival: In Place By: Time of Release: Monday, September 29, 2014 Wednesday, November 5, 2014 8:00 a.m. Thursday, November 6, 2014 12:00 p.m. Friday, November 7, 2014 immediately at the conclusion of the sale JUDGING INFORMATION Date: Friday, November 7, 2014 Time: 11:00 a.m. Location: Scotiabank Ring of Excellence, West AUCTION INFORMATION Date: Friday, November 7, 2014 Time: 4:30 p.m. Location: Scotiabank Ring of Excellence Important Note: The Committee encourages each exhibitor to contact buyers; exhibitors can contact The Royal for complimentary tickets for buyers. 60 2014 QUEEN’S GUINEAS COMPETITION SECTION 100 RULES AND REGULATIONS 1.

If for any reason an animal loses its CCIA tag, notification in writing must be made to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF). One acceptable nose print, along with the Queen’s Guineas Nomination Form must be mailed to The Royal. If the first nose print is not acceptable, the second one must be, or exhibitor will be barred from show. Nose print is the responsibility of the exhibitor. Please note in 2014 no additional ear tags are required to enter the Queen’s Guineas Show. 3. Calf must reside in Ontario at the location specified at the address stated on the NOSE PRINT card as of May 29, 2014.

The Queen’s Guineas Competition is a multi-element show and all exhibitors must participate in all elements of the show. As with all RAWF Youth Activity events, 100% participation is expected by all participants. 6. The committee may inspect calves anytime and calves will be nose printed. 7. All cattle presented to be shown at the Queen’s Guineas will be less than 30 months of age. This rule will be enforced by a combination of dentition (looking at the teeth) and the use of pedigrees or CCIA age verification if available. If a pedigree or CCIA age verification cannot be presented, the animal’s age will be determined solely by its teeth. The animal will be ineligible to be shown if it has more than 2 adult teeth present. Should the animal have 3 adult teeth present it will be allowed to be shown if either a pedigree or CCIA age verification for that animal can be provided. In the event that more than 3 adult teeth are present, the animal will be determined to be older than 30 months of age regardless of the pedigree and/or CCIA age verification. This rule is consistent with rules applied by inspectors at abattoirs. 8. The height division and sale weight of each animal will be determined at the RAWF, based upon verifications prior to the show. Weight will be displayed on exhibitor number card in the show ring 9. Steers or heifers may be culled for any of the following reasons: a. The presence of horns or stubs over 2 inches in length b. Overfinish, underfinish or inferior type c. Any condition that in the opinion of the culling committee is undesirable (e.g. staginess) 10. At the time of measuring and identification verification, entries will be examined for evidence of tampering (RAWF LIVESTOCK RULE # 23). 11.
