The decision of the judges will be final and no appeal will be considered except in case of protest.
No unworthy animal will be awarded a premium. When there are fewer animals shown in the class than the number of premiums offered, the judge may, at his discretion, award a prize or prizes of such grade as the animal or animals deserve.
The Fair Management will use diligence to ensure the safety of livestock entered for exhibition or display, but under no circumstances will it be responsible for loss, injury, theft or damage by fire, lighting, wind or any other agency, to such livestock on exhibition or display.
