- Youth have the option of opting out of the auction. They can choose to do the project only and not raise funds, or they can choose to raise funds, not participate in the auction, and turn collected money in by the following Monday after the show.
- Youth have the option of showing multiple species (previously only 2). However, they can only take one animal through the auction unless they place as a champion with multiple species.
