3. Champion and Reserve Champions will be selected.

5. All small animals must be healthy. No certificate required. All entries are subject to inspection by the Fair and are to be free of parasites and disease. Unhealthy animals will be removed.

6. If you are planning on exhibiting birds in North Dakota, you have one of three choices:

• Become a National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) flock  OR
• Test exhibition birds within 90 days of the exhibition  OR
• Purchase exhibition birds from NPIP sources (flock, hatchery or retail location selling from an NPIP-approved source) 
• AND complete a Poultry Exhibition Statement of Origin form SFN 60329      (2-2013), including required signatures. This form must accompany the birds to exhibits/shows. The form can be found on the ND Department of Agriculture’s website: www.nd.gov/ndda/program/national-poultry-improvement-plan
•  AND have the birds banded prior to exhibition. Banding can be as simple as a safely applied zip-tie.
