The Stephens County Fair & Expo Center will coordinate the Claud Gill Arena to provide trailer parking and housing of all swine that are not entered in the Fall Classic shows and sales. A $50 fee per vehicle, will be charged for all vehicles with swine that are housed at the Claud Gill Arena.
General Information
Entry fees must accompany the entry form. All late entries will be charged double the regular entry fees. Entry fees are non-refundable. The NSR reserves the right to close entries after the printed deadline. Entries must be postmarked by Oct. 14, 2011.
All hogs entered at the Fall Classic must have been owned by Sept. 18, 2011, by the exhibitor.
All hogs must arrive on the grounds between 8 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 16, and 9 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 17.
Crossbred boars: Stress status of your entry will be placed in the show and sale catalog (this is a show and sale requirement). A documented stress test must be presented at check in.
All entries must be ear notched using the official NSR system (starting with litter number 1 in January and again in July each year). All entries must be recorded by Nov. 4, 2011, or they will be charged a rush fee.
Entries will be divided into classes as equal as possible by farrowing date.
Exhibitors & Eligibility
Exhibitors must be an active member of the NSR, or they will be required to pay the $75 NSR maintenance fee.
Entries are limited to four boars and four open gilts per breed (Duroc, Hampshire, Yorkshire) per exhibitor. All entries must be farrowed on or after April 1, 2011, and must have at least six teats on each side.
Each hog must be accompanied by a registration certificate and meet their respective breed requirements. Entries that do not meet these requirements will not be allowed to show or sell at the Fall Classic.
Breeding Animal Sale
A minimum of 60 percent of the number of each sex (boars and gilts) shown will be selected for the sale. These animals will be selected with no set number selling from any single class. Animals not selected for the sale can be consigned to the sale for an additional fee of $20 per head. If the animal sells, the fee will be applied toward the sale commission. If the animal does not sell, the fee is forfeited.
All animals selected and cataloged for the sale must go through the auction. Sale commission will be 15 percent for all animals. If an animal that is selected and cataloged for the sale does not go through the sale ring, the exhibitor will be banned from exhibiting at NSR events for one year and will be charged 15% of the average selling price of their respective breed sale. This amount must be paid before reinstatement will be allowed. The exception to this rule will be if the animal has become injured or ill and the animal is inspected by a NSR staff member prior to the sale. The NSR acts only as the agent between the buyer and seller. If proper payment is made by the buyer in a timely manner, the NSR will make settlement with the seller in approximately 30 days after the sale.
If an exhibitor has an account that is past due, funds from the sale of their animals will be applied to their NSR account.
