RECORD BOOKS RULES (taken from General Rules)

40. A record book is required for each animal show the exhibitor is entered in. It is to be done by the exhibitor and not an adult. Only one record book may be submitted per show. If more than one is submitted by the exhibitor, no book for that exhibitor will be judged for that show.
