The agreement should state that only marked trees will be removed and by a certain date. The agreement should also state that the logging company has porary incisors in place; reserve ram; second, get of sire, born on exhibitor's property, group of three with full mouth milk teeth, by same sire; second, breeder's flock bred and owned by exhibitor, group of four, both sexes and fourth, ram with first pair of temporary incisors in place, born on exhibitor's proper- ty.
