IOWA 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.

2. Exhibitor tents, grooming chutes, personal property/equipment can NOT be delivered and/or set up before the day of your show. All items must be brought in and taken with you the day of your show.

3. 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.

Lost ear tags must be reported to the Extension Office. FFA exhibitors must turn in official animal ID form by June 1.

5. 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.

6. One arm-card with exhibitor ID should be picked up at check-in and used while showing animals. If two animals belonging to one member are shown in the same class, ask for a second ID arm card. Arm cards will be available each show day.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Water tanks WILL NOT be provided. Butt fans for cattle are allowed for fair 2020 only due to the show and go style of fair. All fans must be 5 ½ feet off the ground for liability reasons (except for fans deemed necessary and approved by the Fair Board).

11. 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.

12. Premise IDs are required for swine projects and must be on file in the Extension Office no later than June 15.

13. Animals cannot be shown at more than one county fair per year. If animal is shown as a 4-H project in one county, it cannot be shown as an FFA project 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. 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 with prolapses cannot be exhibited and will be sent home. SWINE Swine exhibitors at county fairs that do not require a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection 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. No testing is required for swine at an exhibition that involves only market classes, provided all swine are consigned directly to a slaughter establishment from the exhibition. Premise IDs are required for swine exhibitors. SHEEP AND GOATS All sheep must have an individual Scrapie Flock of Origin identification tag. All goats must be identified with an individual Scrapie Flock of Origin identification tag/collar or by an official registered tattoo. The required scrapie identification, for all sheep and goats, is because local sale barns may require that all sheep and/or goats sold through their facility have an individual scrapie tag. POULTRY AND BIRDS All poultry exhibited must come from U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid clean or equivalent flocks, or have had a negative Pullorum-Typhoid test within 90 days of public exhibition and an authorized tester must have performed the test. This has been waived for the Johnson County 2020 Fair due to serum availability. DOGS AND CATS All dogs and cats exhibited must have a current rabies vaccination certificate. DECISION OF THE OFFICIAL SHOW VETERINARIAN WILL BE FINAL. These requirements are only a partial listing. To obtain a complete report on health requirements contact the Extension Office. ***WARNING*** UNDER IOWA LAW, A DOMESTICATED ANIMAL PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES SUFFERED BY, AN INJURY TO, OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT RESULTING FROM THE INHERENT RISKS OF DOMESTICATED ANIMAL ACTIVITIES, PURSUANT TO IOWA CODE CHAPTER 673. YOU ARE ASSUMING INHERENT RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN THIS DOMESTICATED ANIMAL ACTIVITY. A number of inherent risks are associated with a domesticated animal activity. A domesticated animal may behave in a manner that results in damages to property or an injury or death to a person. Risks associated with the activity may include injuries caused by bucking, biting, stumbling, rearing, trampling, scratching, pecking, falling, or butting. The domesticated animal may react unpredictably to conditions, including, but not limited to, a sudden movement, loud noise, an unfamiliar environment, or the introduction of unfamiliar persons, animals, or objects. The domesticated animal may also react in a dangerous manner when a condition or treatment is considered hazardous to the welfare of the animal; a collision occurs with an object or animal; or a participant fails to exercise reasonable care, take adequate precautions, or use adequate control

Page 11: Johnson County Fair - extension.iastate.edu · 1 Johnson County Fair Fair Book COVID Updates 2020 July 25-31, 2020

when engaging in a domesticated animal activity, including failing to maintain reasonable control of the animal or failing to act in a manner consistent with the person's abilities.

SHOWMANSHIP 1. 4-H and FFA members owning and showing livestock/animal projects are eligible and

encouraged to compete in the showmanship contest in each livestock department in which they have exhibited. Exhibitors must show their own animals.

2. There is no pre-entry for showmanship classes. 3. Showmanship is based on the appearance and attitude of the exhibitor, the condition of the

animal, personal safety, grooming (clipping/cleanliness) of the animal, and presentation of the animal.

4. Banners will be awarded to winners in each grade division in beef, sheep, swine, dairy cattle, dog, pets, dairy goat, meat goat, horse, pony, rabbit, and poultry. The divisions are Junior (grades 4-6), Intermediate (grades 7 and 8), Senior (grades 9-12), and Premier (beef, dairy cattle, dairy goat, meat goat, sheep, and swine). There will be junior (grades 4-7) and senior (grades 8-12) divisions only for dairy cattle.

5. Showmanship may be won only ONCE per grade division per department. 6. Once an exhibitor wins their age division, the next year they are moved up to the next age

division up. (Example: the champion junior showman in 2018, would show in intermediate in 2019 and would continue to show in that division until they win the Intermediate Division or they are old enough to move to the senior division.) Once an exhibitor has one the senior division, they will be moved to the Premier Showmanship Division.

7. Once an exhibitor reaches the Premier Showmanship division, they are allowed to continue to show in this division the rest of their 4-H/FFA career.

8. The champion senior showman will show in the premier division, the same year they win the senior division.

9. Winners of the premier showman category will be eligible to compete in the Supreme Showmanship Event

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 2020 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.

an outfit, they may be constructed or selected. 6. All other accessories and undergarments may be constructed or selected.

CLOTHING SELECTION 1. The purpose of this category is to select and/or purchase an outfit that represents the 4-H

member’s goal or intended use for the selected outfit. 2. Judging is based on fit, color, style, suitability, attractiveness, quality and construction

features, stage presentation, required care, and cost comparison. 3. There is no consideration in the judging on the amount spent, only in the process of

recordkeeping and reflection on the cost of the individual items as a part of the process. 4. Outfits may be purchased at a department store, boutique, online store, sidewalk sales, retail

shops or mall stores. Outfits may also be purchased at garage sales or other second hand venues with a total price of over $15.

5. Home-sewn clothing that was not sewn specifically for the participant are acceptable, such as purchases from a used clothing store

THE $15 CHALLENGE 1. This category is designed to expand the 4-H member’s shopping experience to shopping

venues emphasizing recycling, reducing and reusing. Outfits must be purchased at a garage sale, consignment store, Goodwill, Salvation Army, or similar place.

2. Online venues are allowed, must be second-hand in nature. Shipping and handling is not included in the total calculations.
