INTERNATIONAL ASSOC. OF FAIRS & EXPOSITIONS
NATIONAL CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS

Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics,” fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels.

All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada.

The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events:

HEALTH RULES & REGULATIONS

All animals admitted to the Fair shall be identified by a unique and permanent ear tag, tattoo, brand or records of unique physical attributes.

1. Animals known to be infected with or exposed to any contagious, infectious or external parasitic disease, and animals restricted by quarantine may not be assembled for show purposes.

2. All animals admitted to the Fair must comply with applicable state or federal rules.

3. Animals presented for exhibition will be subject to inspection by show officials and will be rejected if evidence of infectious, contagious or parasitic disease is apparent or if health certification or identification documentation is not acceptable.

RED TAPE LETTER:

Dear Livestock and Dairy Exhibitors,

In recent years, there has been concern for animal husbandry practices at the fair. We must take into consideration that what we show the public directly influences their view of agriculture. To continue to promote the exhibits to the best of our abilities, the Kutztown Fair Ag Committee has decided to enact a fee for animal(s) not cared for/cleaned up in a timely manner.

Approximately one hour prior to fair opening each day, an Ag representative will walk each barn isle and will mark with a red tape any animal(s) that have not been cared for that day. This excludes animals that may have recently made a mess of themselves (pooped laying down etc.) The exhibitor will then have one hour to make their animal(s) presentable or they will be fined $25 per animal.

If an exhibitor is not present while they receive a red tape, it is their responsibility to have someone notify them. The fair will not notify individuals receiving a red tape. Market animals must be washed and presentable Saturday morning or they will be excused from being sold at the sale. The regular good housekeeping walk through will still be done during the open fair hours Monday through Friday.

Thank you,

Kutztown Fair Ag Committee
