1. NOTE: Read all General Rules and Regulations for Livestock before making entry.
2. The times for the different livestock shows are listed in the front of the book under Calendar of Events.
3. ELIGIBILITY OF FLEECES: Each fleece must represent not more than 12 months growth, except that in the case of yearling fleeces, 16 months growth will be allowed.
4. QUALIFICATIONS: Any fleece entered in competition shall be
discriminated against if:
   a. Can be tied with heavy white cotton string and large garbage bag.
   b. Showing any paint or tar brands (soluble branding fluids permissible)
   c. Showing excessive dung locks or tags
   d. Discolored by excessive moisture
   e. Cotted
   f. Showing a weak staple or break in fiber
   g. Containing any excess burrs or other vegetable matter
   h. Fleeces may be shown only 1 year.
5. PREPARATION OF FLEECES: Spread out the fleece on a clean table or floor, skin side down, taking care not to pull or open fleece as it is handled.  The fleece will look like a pelt or hide. At this stage, before rolling or tying, remove all heavy tags, stained wool ,any foreign matter. Rolling the fleece takes four easy steps:
1) Begin at one side and loosely fold 8 to 10 inches of the edge toward the center of the fleece.
2) Do the same on the other side, but fold toward the center two times - until the twice folded portion lies on top of the first fold.
3) Fold in the head wool.
4) Roll the entire fleece from the breach toward the shoulder and long side wool. Fleece is now ready to be tied. Using paper fleece twine, wrap it in two directions and tie as you would a package. There should be no loose ends hanging from the fleece. It should be loose enough to make judging easy, yet compact enough to prevent it from falling apart when handled.
