In the case of military obligations, official orders must be on file in the Exten-sion Office prior to the start of the fair.

The substitute showman must be an eligible Cedar County 4-H or FFA member and approved in advance of the show by fair show superintendents and/or the Ex-tension Office.

Participation in school or school activities will not be considered. For those who are ill or injured, a doctor’s note is highly recommended.

An exhibitor, who has more than one animal in a class, need not secure approval for another eligible showman to exhibit one of his/her animals. However, it is ex-pected such cases will be brought to the attention of the clerk checking animals into the check-in area or show ring.

11. CODE OF ETHICS – Youth are expected to be sincere, honest and act in sports-manlike 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 exhibi-tions.

Youth agree to follow these guidelines:A. I will do my own work, appropriate for my age and physical and mental develop-

ment. This includes research and writing of exhibit explanations, preparing exhib-its (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.

B. All exhibits will be 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 my exhibit is con-sidered misrepresentation and is prohibited.

C. I will treat all people and animals with respect. I will provide appropriate care for animals.

D. 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 evalu-ate and for exhibition.

E. All food animals that may be harvested immediately following the show shall be safe for consumers, and shall have met all withdrawal times for medications, and be free of violative drug residue.

F. If any animal requires medical treatment while at the fair, only the Official Fair Veterinarian may administer the treatment. All medications that are administered shall be done according to the label instruction of the medication used.

G. My animal’s appearance or performance shall not be altered by any means, includ-ing 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 me, my parent(s) and/or guardian by the Management of the fair or exhibition.

H. I will follow all ownership and possession rules and, if requested, will provide the necessary documentation

I. 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 exhi-bition. I will provide animal health certificates from a licensed veterinarian upon request from the management of the fair or exhibition.

J. By entering an animal in this fair or exhibition, I am giving consent to the manage-ment 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

95

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 pro-cedures of said collection and preservation, transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample is 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.

K. 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 I will accept any disciplinary ac-tions 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.

L. 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.

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

N. I agree to conduct myself in an honest, ethical, and upstanding manner and I un-derstand 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 competi-tion of the fair or exhibition as printed in its Premium Book and other exhibitor material.

12. Any attempt to misrepresent an animal in any way will be considered fraud and deception, and can result in disqualification and barring from this fair or exhibi-tion. In addition, any exhibiting family whose animals are found suspect of using illegal drugs or barring for any other reason at any fair or livestock show holding membership in the International Association of Fairs and exposition will be barred indefinitely from showing at the Cedar County fair.

A. Should fraud or deception, and proof, as determined by the fair show superinten-dents be discovered after the animal or animals have been shown and prior to the sale: such animal shall not be permitted to sell. If the grand Champion is disquali-fied, at the discretion of the fair show superintendents, the reserve Grand Cham-pion will become the grand Champion. No other animals will be advanced.

Should violation be discovered after the sale, all sale money shall be returned to the buyer and the animal carcass or carcass value (established by the USDA market for dressed meat as of day of sale) shall be returned to the exhibitor. All placings in the show will stand. No animals will be advanced.

Any Carcass suspected of being tampered with or suspected of containing drugs will be detained until the investigation is complete.

When a rule violation and/or the eligibility of an animal to compete is in ques-tion, a formal complaint must be made in writing and presented to the Cedar Coun-ty Extension Office before noon of the day following the one on which the viola-tion or eligibility question arises OR in the case of drug testing within 24 hours following receipt of the results; accompanied by a $100 “good faith” cash deposit. All expenses of proof must be paid by the party filing the formal complaint. This money will be refunded unless the claim is not substantiated. If the claim is valid and proof of illegal activity exists the exhibitor in question is responsible for all costs incurred.

96

B. TAMPERING AND/OR MISREPRESENTTION as to breeding, age, ownership and any other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception.

C. To maintain a high degree of confidence and integrity in the livestock shows, the fair show superintendents reserve the right to disqualify any animal fitted in an unethical manner and disqualify the exhibitor and the exhibitor’s assistants who fitted the animal involved.

D. Unethical fitting shall include any cutting or tearing of the hide, cutting or tearing underneath the hide or removal of tissue in any attempt to alter the shape or ap-pearance. It shall also include attempts to disrupt or change normal dental develop-ment; dyeing or coloring hair; adding artificial tail heads, switches, polls, hair and heels; as well as any attempt to change the conformation and degree of firmness by administration of fluids internally or externally in a liquid or solid state.

E. Any artificial means of removing or remedying physical defects or conformation in exhibition animals (i.e. lifting or filling under the skin) will be considered fraud and deception. No unnatural means of providing an animal feed, water or other fluids (i.e. stomach pump, IV) will be allowed. All exhibitors whose animals give evidence of such treatment will be barred indefinitely from exhibiting at the Cedar County Fair. All exhibitors, their immediate family and any other parties involved in the unethical fitting and showing at the Cedar County fair and will forfeit all premiums, prizes monies and awards won in any division.

F. CARCASS CONDEMNATION at the packing plant due to unethical or illegal practices shall be grounds for disqualification in the on foot and carcass division of the show. Additionally, all premiums and sale money shall be forfeited and the loss of the animal be incurred by the exhibitor.

13. No drugs or medications of any kind may be administered at the fair except by the order of the Official Fair veterinarian. All animals will be subject to chemical testing and analysis of saliva, urine, blood, other excretions or tissues to determine whether a substance or drug has been induced or whether a substance or drug has been introduced to interfere with the testing procedure. Positive tests, except for residues which are within FDA tolerance levels, will result in immediate disqualifi-cation of the animal, forfeiture of ribbons, trophies, premiums and sale prices,. The exhibitor of that animal and the exhibitor’s family may be barred from participa-tion in future Cedar County fairs. A re-test may be done at the exhibitor’s expense.
