skin and/or into the flesh of an animal to change the natural contour,
conformation or appearance of an animal’s body is illegal. This includes
vegetable oil, silicon or any other substance used to alter the shape of
the animal. Acceptable practices of physical preparation which are
allowed include, clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, de-horning, or
removal of ancillary teats.
7. The balancing of the udder by abnormal means that includes the use
of a mechanical contrivance or the injection of fluid or drugs, setting the
teats and/or occluding (sealing the ends) with a mechanical contrivance
or with the use of a chemical preparation is illegal. Treating or
massaging the udder or its attachments with an irritant or counterirritant is prohibited.
8. The use of inhumane fitting, showing and/or handling practices or
devices shall not be tolerated. For example, breaking of tails, striking of
the animal to cause swelling or for bracing purposes, use of an electrical
contrivance, or use of overly severe bits is not acceptable.
9. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, show management,
other exhibitors, breed representatives or show officials before, during,
or after the competitive event is prohibited.
10. At the time an animal is sold at auction at the livestock show, the
exhibitor shall be held directly responsible for animals that are rejected
at a processing center due to the presence of foreign residues. The seller
may be liable to the buyer for an amount equal to three times the
purchased price and may also be liable for attorney’s fees and civil
penalties. Show Management may share acceptable intelligence and
evidence information with FDA and USDA. If for any reason, any part of
a meat animal carcass must be removed by the FDA or USDA inspectors,
the market price will be discounted.
11. Show management reserves the right to require animal health
certificates. Health inspections and diagnostic tests may be made
before or after animals are on the livestock show premises for exhibitor
and animal safety, or to regulate disease control procedures which may
become necessary in emergencies as determined by animal health
officials.
Any violation of "The Show Ring Code of Ethics" or specific rules as
designated by individual fairs and livestock shows will result in forfeiture
of premiums and awards, disqualification, and may result in
probationary status and/or loss of eligibility for future participation in
organized livestock competition. Possible civil penalties may be
imposed by the proper authorities based on evidence provided by the
livestock show of exhibitors in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic act/or the animal mistreatment, neglect, and abandonment
laws that apply on the local, state, and national levels. The decision of
the livestock show management will be final. Other cooperating shows,
(The International Association of Fairs and Expositions, The American
Livestock Show and Rodeo Managers Association, and Western Fairs
Association) will be notified of the action taken by the show
management, which may affect the eligibility of the individual, group, or
sponsoring organization for participation at other shows who are also
members of these organizations.
By making entry in this livestock show or event you are verifying you
have read The Show Ring Code of Ethics and understand the
consequences of and penalties involved for illegal, unethical, inhumane,
and unfair practices of competition. You also verify that you and your
family may be prohibited from future participation in organized fairs and
livestock shows in the United States, and could face possible criminal
prosecution and/or civil penalties if implicated in any of the
aforementioned acts.
