Benewah County Junior Show and Sale Show Ring Code of Ethics (Adapted from the National Show Ring Code of Ethics) This code of ethics applies to anyone exhibiting animals at the Benewah County Junior Show and Sale. All classes of livestock offered at the livestock event are included. The following practices or procedures are unacceptable and are defined as deceptive, fraudulent, unethical and inhumane in the care, fitting, preparation and showing of all classes of livestock. The use of any illegal drugs is prohibited. Legal or illegal substances used to phenotypically alter the appearance of an animal entered in livestock events is prohibited (see Rule #4). Use of illegal drugs is considered a pre-meditated act! Furthermore, any information obtained in the practice of illegal alteration of an animal will be turned over to the proper authorities for prosecution. THIS IS A ONE STRIKE AND YOU ARE OUT POLICY! Exhibitor will forfeit any premium, awards, or auction proceeds and will be prohibited from further competition at the Benewah County Junior Show and Sale, as well as being subject to prosecution if proven guilty. The following is a listing of guidelines all exhibitors must follow to enter livestock at organized competitive events. The following is a listing of guidelines all exhibitors must follow to enter livestock in the Benewah County Junior Show and Sale. 1) All exhibitors must have viable proof of ownership available to prove the length of time the animals have been owned. Market animals (Beef, Sheep, Swine, and Goats) must be owned and under exhibitors daily care according to established rules and regulations for the livestock show. This also includes all small market animals (rabbits and poultry). The official ownership date is the date shown on the bill of sale, unless the animal was bred by the exhibitor, in which calving or birth records must be shown. Registered breeding livestock must show the exhibitor as the sole owner of the animal on the breed Association papers or certificates. 2) No exhibitor may show an animal which has previously sold at an auction or sale as a market animal through another fair, livestock show, whether or not there is an actual change of ownership. 3) Any method used to misrepresent the age of an animal for a class in which it is shown is deceptive and considered illegal. Showing an animal for another individual by claiming ownership in order to show in a specific livestock class is prohibited. False ownership is illegal. 4) Junior Show exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at the fair. Adults, including parents, leaders and Junior Show and Sale members are allowed to physically assist in the preparation of the animal while at the show only when the safety of the youth exhibitor or animal is of concern. Verbal instruction is allowed. Any violations of this rule will result in immediate disqualification from the show. 5) Treating an animal internally or externally, with any irritant, counter-irritant, or other substance used to artificially change the confirmation or appearance of an animal for show is considered unethical, inhumane and is prohibited. Only approved fitting supplies used as labeled for the intended use will be allowed. Adding false hair or hair-like material, fleece, or skin at any point,

August 2013


spot or area of the animal’s body is illegal and will result in immediate disqualification. Any liquid or substance not considered part of an accepted and normal diet for livestock is deemed illegal and inhumane. For example, the use of alcoholic or carbonated beverage as a drench or filler, etc. 6) The use of tranquilizers, sedatives, or depressants, which alter the physical or physiological state of the animal is illegal. Exceptions to this rule would be a licensed, certified veterinarian’s treatment for a recognized disease or injury, or recommendation for tranquilizing breeding animals in heat that might compromise the safety of others. The drugs must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in meat producing animals. All exhibitors shall advise show management of any drugs and/or medications administered to an animal that might be detected at the time of showing or at meat inspection. The name of the drug, its purpose, the person who administered the drug, time and date of administration shall be presented to show management prior to the showing and weighing of the animal. Failure to report this information to the show management will result in severe penalty and/or disqualification. Any use of drugs or substances not approved by the Food and Drug Administration is strictly prohibited. All animals entered into the livestock competition shall be subject to testing for foreign substances that exceed acceptable levels established by the FDA, FSIS, USDA, or EPA. During the livestock events, in case of animals requiring treatment, all medications shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian and the livestock show officials shall be notified. 7) Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin/or flesh of an animal to change the natural contour, confirmation or appearance of an animal’s body is illegal. This includes vegetable oil, silicon or other substance used to alter the shape of an animal. Acceptable practices of physical preparation, which are allowed include clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, or removal of ancillary teats. 8) The balancing of an 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 chemical preparation is illegal. Treating or massaging the udder or its attachments with an irritant or counter irritant is prohibited. 9) The use of inhumane fitting, showing and/or handling practices shall not be tolerated.
