All entries in the Junior Livestock Show must be exhibited by the owner/exhibitor, except when the exhibitor has more than one (1) entry in a class or cannot be present to show their own animal due to circumstances beyond their control. In these cases, a substitute showman may exhibit the animal provided that the substitute showman meets all Junior exhibitor criteria and is approved by the Superintendent of that department. A substitute showman may not exhibit animals for an owner/exhibitor participating in other events or activities (UIL competitions, school sports, etc.) or just being absent from the competition. If the exhibitor is scholastically ineligible to participate, as determined by the respective school district, the exhibitor and their entries are ineligible for competition. Parents, Agricultural Science Teachers and County Extension Agents will not be allowed in the judging arena. An animal will be disqualified from the Show if it is being trimmed, fitted or dressed by anyone other than exhibitors, County Extension Agents or Agricultural Science Teachers from the State of Texas, or other feeders or leaders within the county or school district from which the animal is entered. Exhibitors must remain in charge of their exhibits and care for them for the duration of the Show or have a competent caretaker, who will be on duty at all times, in charge of them. NO PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICES (I.E., CELL PHONES, RADIO, ETC.) MAY BE USED BY EXHIBITORS DURING COMPETITION IN SHOW ARENAS. EXHIBITORS USING SUCH DEVICES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED. 11.
