All animals shown that qualify for sale MUST go through the
sale and be delivered immediately to buyer.
No animals will be loaded prior to the end of the sale. Buyers
must have a Bill of Sale before animal will be loaded.
One hundred animals will sell. The number of market animals to
sell will be an equal percentage of each species based upon the total
number of animals that qualify for the sale. The market animal with
the highest rate of gain in each of the market animal species will
sell, as well as the top 5 placing animals in the live show. Any
animal that qualifies only on the basis of rate of gain or live show
placing will sell at the end of the sale order.
Sale order will be posted at 8 AM the morning following the live
show. Animals not making the sale may be sold at base bid or
taken home.

Any animal not within the weight range is eligible to show for
premiums but will not sell.
11. Animals that are sold through the market sale will not receive
premiums from the live show.
12. Live classes will be determined by weight.
13. Steer, Hog and Lamb index will be based on 40% live show, 40%
carcass score, and 20% rate of gain.
14. No steer with a broken mouth may be shown; meaning a full set of
baby teeth is required. This will be checked at weigh-in.
15. Market hogs may be barrows or gilts. Wether or ewe lambs are

MARKET STEER SCORING SYSTEM
Animals must be weighed in (February 8, 2014 and weighed out (July
8, 2014) for rate of gain calculation, must be scanned (ultrasound) for
carcass data collection (fat thickness, rib-eye area and percent ether
extractable fat) and must be shown in the live animal show to be
eligible for premiums. Carcass data will be generated from ultrasound
measurements taken by a qualified/certified technician. No animals
will be harvested for data collection.
1. To be eligible for Champion or Reserve Champion beef carcass;
carcasses must be from steers with a minimum average daily gain of 2.2
pounds. A carcass that qualifies on the basis of yield grade and quality
grade but does not qualify on the basis of weight and or average daily
gain will not be named Champion or Reserve Champion
2. Initial ranking of carcasses will be derived from the USDA yield
grade equation:
USDA Yield Grade=2.5+(2.5 x fat thickness)
+(0.2 x estimated %KPH fat (2.5%))
-(0.32 x ribeye area)
+(0.0038 x hot carcass weight (62% of live weight).
3. The numerical yield grade derived from this formula will then be
adjusted for ultrasonic ribeye area (REAU), ultrasonic fat thickness
(FTU), hot carcass weight (HCW) and ultrasonic quality grade
(%FATU) using the following adjustment factors for the final Beef
Carcass Index (BCI) to determine points for the carcass portion of the
market steer show.

MARKET SWINE CARCASS CONTEST
All market hogs will be measured with ultrasound at the time of weigh
in for estimation of 10th rib fat thickness and 10th rib loin eye area.
These measurements, plus carcass weight (72% of live weight) will be
used to calculate % percent lean. No animals will be harvested for data
collection.
Hog carcasses must have a minimum 10th rib fat thickness of .25 inches
and a minimum loin eye area of 4.50 square inches to be named
champion or reserve champion swine carcass. Carcasses meeting the
above minimum requirements will be ranked using the USDA Percent
(%) Lean muscle Yield Equation:
% Lean Yield = (88.307 - (.036 x Hot carcass weight (72 % of live weight) (18.574 x 10th rib fat thickness, inches) + (3.734 x 10 th rib loin eye area, square
inches)/170) x 100

MARKET LAMB CARCASS CONTEST
All market lambs will be measured with ultrasound at the time of weigh
in for estimation of 12th rib fat thickness, 12th rib body wall thickness
and 12th rib loin eye area. These measurements, plus carcass weight
(52% of live weight) will be used to calculate Percent Boneless Closely
Trimmed Retail Cuts (%BCTRC). No animals will be harvested for
carcass data collection. Lamb carcasses must meet a minimum ribeye
area standard (1.4 + (HCW x .02)) for their carcass weight, have no
more than a USDA Yield Grade (YG) of 2.9 (USDA YG = 0.4 + (10 x
12th rib fat thickness, inches) and have a minimum 12th rib fat thickness
of .10 inches to be named champion or reserve champion lamb carcass.
Additionally, lambs must have all baby (temporary) teeth in place at
weigh in and scanning. Carcasses meeting the above standards will be
ranked using the Estimated Percent (%) Boneless Closely Trimmed
Retail Cuts equation (%BCTRC):
%BCTRC = 49.936 - (.0848 x Hot Carcass Weight (52% of live weight)) - (4.376
