IOWA EXHIBITOR YOUTH CODE OF ETHICS Youth are expected to be sincere, honest and act in sportsmanlike ways at all times. Youth represent the entire program and their behavior reflects on their parents, leaders, club and the entire youth program. All adults involved with the youth program, leaders as well as parents, are expected to set positive examples and serve as positive role models by what they say and do. Any youth who breaks the Code of Ethics or allows another person (adult or peer) to talk them into violating the Code of Ethics agrees to forfeit all prizes, awards and premiums. The youth may also be prohibited from exhibiting at this and future exhibitions including the Iowa State Fair and other county, state or regional exhibitions. Youth agree to follow these guidelines: 1. I will do my own work, appropriate for my age and physical and mental development. This includes research

and writing of exhibit explanations, preparing exhibits (such as sewing, cooking, refinishing, etc), care and grooming of animals, etc. Adult assistance should help guide and support me, not do it for me

2. All exhibits will be a true representation of my work. Any attempt to take credit for other’s work, alter the conformation of animals, or alter their performance is prohibited. Copyright violation or allowing others to complete your exhibit is considered misrepresentation and is prohibited.

3. I will treat all people and animals with respect. I will provide appropriate care for animals. 4. I will present exhibits that are safe for consumption. All food exhibits will be safe to exhibit and for judges to

evaluate. Other exhibits will be safe for judges to evaluate and for exhibition. 5. All food animals that may be harvested immediately following the show shall be safe for consumers, and

shall have met all withdrawal times for all medications, and be free of violative drug residue. 6. If any animal requires medical treatment while at the fair or exhibition, only a licensed veterinarian may

administer the treatment. All medications that are administered shall be done according to the label instructions of the medication used.

7. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, including medications, external applications and surgical procedures. Any animal that is found to have changed its appearance or its performance shall be disqualified from the show, and have penalties assessed against the exhibitor, parent and/or guardian by the management of the fair or exhibition.

8. I will follow all ownership and possession rules and, if requested, will provide the necessary documentation. 9. I will follow all livestock health requirements for this fair or exhibition, according to the state health

requirements as printed in the premium book of the fair or exhibition. I will provide animal health certificates from a licensed veterinarian upon request from the management of the fair or exhibition.

10. By my entering an animal in this fair or exhibition, I am giving consent to the management of the fair or exhibition to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. If the laboratory report on the analysis of any sample indicates a presence of forbidden drugs, this shall be evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample tested by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all procedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the exhibitor, parent and/or guardian to prove otherwise.

11. I am responsible for my exhibit and I will not allow others to violate this code on my behalf. By my entering an exhibit in this fair or exhibition I will accept any disciplinary action taken by the management of this fair or exhibition for any violation of this code of ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or exhibition without recourse against the fair or exhibition.

12. I want my exhibit to be an example of how to accept what life has to offer, both good and not so good, and how to live with and learn from the outcome.

13. I will not be involved in any illegal activities while participating in 4-H and FFA events, including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco or drug use.

I agree to conduct myself in an honest, ethical, and upstanding manner and I understand that disciplinary actions will result if these rules are violated. I understand that I am expected to represent the program in a positive manner. I have read, understand and agree to follow this code of ethics, and any other rules of competition of the fair or exhibition as printed in its premium book.

ANIMAL & LIVESTOCK DIVISION RULES Schedule/Classes/Rules are ALL subject to change with COVID-19 restrictions/regulations.

1. Exhibits must have been owned, raised, cared for and managed by the member during this 4-H or

FFA year. Animals in purebred breeding beef classes must show ownership and pedigrees at fair check-in time. Registration papers of purebred animals are acceptable if: 1) they are in the name of the 4-H/FFA member; 2) in partnership with a family farm name; 3) in a name used by the family for registration of other animals on that farm; 4) the name of the landlord if the 4-H/FFA member is the son or daughter of the tenant of the landlord.

2. Exhibitor tents, grooming chutes, personal property/equipment can NOT be delivered and/or set up before 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday evening before the fair. The Fair Board will provide bedding free of charge in the cattle barns to a depth of 8 inches.

3. Any exhibit which has been offered for sale in an auction at a fair is considered to have changed ownership and is ineligible to be exhibited in future 4-H classes.

4. For safety and liability reasons, all 4-H youth participating in any 4-H equestrian event or activity MUST wear American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Safety Engineering Institute (SEI) approved protective head gear with chin strap and properly fitted harness when mounted and riding in any Johnson County 4-H-sponsored 4-H horse riding activity.

5. During the county fair, dog exhibits are only permitted on the grounds up to 2 hours before their show and are restricted to the South Arena. This guideline is for the safety of all who attend the county fair. Dogs are not allowed in and around other livestock at any time.

6. Animals may not be unloaded on fairgrounds until their designated vet check and check-in time. 7. Project Leaders have the authority to move and re-stall exhibits as they see fit in order to

enhance the display, provide move for animal comfort or to provide more room for club tack. 8. All animals (beef, bucket bottle, dairy cattle, dog, goat, horse/pony, pet, rabbit, sheep, and swine

must match official 4honline ID submitted by May 15th or they will be disqualified. Lost ear tags must be reported to the Extension Office. FFA exhibitors must turn in official animal ID form by May 15th.

9. Tie-outs will only be in areas designated by the Fair Board. No tie-outs will be allowed in show rings. Over-night tie outs are allowed in the tie-out facility west of Barn 5. Cattle may only be in the tie-outs during the hours from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. Neckties are recommended for all market beef and breeding heifers.

10. Exhibitors are expected to display humane treatment and utilize safe, accepted management practices with animals. No abuse of animals will be tolerated. Unnecessary roughness or discourtesy will dismiss the exhibitor from further competition for the entire show. Each exhibitor must keep his/her animal under control or be excused from the show ring.

11. One arm-card with exhibitor ID should be picked up at the scale house and used while showing all animals. If two animals belonging to one member are shown in the same class, ask for a second ID arm card.

12. Animals should be groomed by 4-H/FFA exhibitors, with assistance from immediate family members or other 4-H/FFA members. Non-family members may assist with grooming as long as the effort is an experiential process. Non-family members may assist with grooming if the exhibitor is occupied in the show ring exhibiting another animal.

13. Grooming chutes should not be set up in alleys. Members are expected to clean up after themselves in the tack and grooming areas. The only person permitted to groom a calf in the show ring/ staging area is the exhibitor of the animal. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor/4-H family to monitor the show’s progress and be ready to enter the ring when the class is called; after the final call, judging will commence.

14. You may have a generator, however, if it interferes with any event or show you may be asked to shut down for the duration of the event. Tack areas are to be used for their intended purpose; couches, TVs, and other items of a similar nature are not permitted.

Page 12: Johnson County Fair

15. Water tanks WILL NOT be provided. Butt fans for cattle are not allowed. All fans must be 5 ½ feet off the ground for liability reasons (except for fans deemed necessary and approved by the Fair Board).

16. All livestock except animals to be sold at auction Thursday are released at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday. All loading of cattle will be done from the south end of the tie out facility. In case of sickness, animals may be removed earlier by approval of Project Leader and County Youth Coordinator. Failure to secure approval from the Project Leader, Extension Council Chair, and Fair Board President will be grounds for withholding premium money. Exceptions: Dairy Cattle are released Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.; horse/pony (not stalled at fair), pets, and dog are released immediately after their shows. This release policy will facilitate the family enjoyment of the fireworks, entertainment, and the youth activities on Wednesday evening.

17. The state 4-H office has implemented YQCA, Youth for the Quality Care of Animals requirement. All youth exhibiting in beef (breeding & market), bucket bottle, dairy cattle, goats, rabbits, poultry, swine, and sheep must participate in an online training class prior to the county and state fair. This certification is annual. Certification deadline is July 1st. Failure to complete certification by July 1st will result in disqualification from county fair. FFA exhibitors must comply as well.

18. Premise IDs are required for swine exhibits and must be on file in the Extension Office no later than June 15. We recommend that all large animal exhibitors (beef, dairy, goats, sheep and/or swine) apply for and obtain a premise ID from IDALS. Applications are on-line at www.agriculture.state.ia.us/animalIndustry/pdf/premiseIDapp.pdf.

19. Animals cannot be shown at more than one county fair per year. If animal is shown as a 4-H exhibit in one county, it cannot be shown as an FFA exhibit in another.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS FOR ANIMALS ANY EVIDENCE OF WARTS, RINGWORM, FOOT ROT, PINK EYE, DRAINING ABSCESSES, OR ANY OTHER CONTAGIOUS OR INFECTIOUS CONDITION WILL ELIMINATE THE ANIMAL FROM THE SHOW. ANIMAL(S) EXHIBITING ANY OF THE ABOVE WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FAIRGROUNDS IMMEDIATELY. THE VETERINARY INSPECTOR IN CHARGE SHALL ORDER ANY ANIMALS, POULTRY OR BIRDS, WHEN FOUND TO BE INFECTED WITH ANY CONTAGIOUS OR INFECTIOUS DISEASES, TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FAIR OR EXHIBITION. No individual Certificate of Veterinary Inspection will be required on animals or poultry exhibited at County 4-H & FFA Fair, but the animals must be inspected when unloaded or shortly thereafter by an accredited veterinarian. Each show must have an official veterinarian. Quarantined animals or animals from quarantined herds cannot be exhibited. Sheep and goats with prolapses cannot be exhibited and will be sent home. SWINE Swine exhibitors must sign and present an owner affidavit that the animals being exhibited did not originate from a quarantined herd and, to the best of their knowledge, swine dysentery has not been in evidence in their herd for the past 12 months. Premise IDs are required for swine exhibitors. All swine must originate from a herd or area not under quarantine and must be individually identified. All swine are required to have individual official identification. All 4-H and FFA tags bearing the US shield are official identification tags. Swine are required to be inspected either before being unloaded or before leaving a designated isolation and inspection area (prior to mixing with any other pigs)

OBTAINING PERMISSION TO USE COPYRIGHT MATERIALS • Often we get “ideas” by observation of others’ works of art, crafts, recipes, etc. It is very

important to give credit to those individuals or companies who have created materials, resources, logos, trademarks, photographs, etc., that you may want to incorporate into a 4-H exhibit for the county fair. In many cases, requesting permission can do this.

• A sample letter is available from the Extension Office to help you with this. Getting permission to use someone’s work often takes a long time. Think ahead for the 2021 fair season. You will want to send two copies of your letter to the person or company from whom you are requesting permission. They will keep one copy and return the other to you. You should also send a self-addressed, pre-stamped envelope to aid in their convenience to respond to you. Remember-they do not have to grant you permission, but if you explain fully how you plan to use their work, they are more likely to grant permission.

• It is important to remember that giving credit to someone else is very important in any area of your work. In written papers it may be through the use of footnotes; with exhibit items, credit and permission should be included in the accompanying folders. As you put your ideas together, be sure to keep a list of where you got your ideas. If it is a book, magazine, or other printed material, include the name of the publication, the issue, volume, year, and page number from which it was taken. This type of documentation supports your efforts to give credit to the original individual or source. Remember-when in doubt, ask permission.
