IAFE NATIONAL CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS)
Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this
competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all
livestock offered in any event at a livestock show.
All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or
questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine
example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards,
and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respective fairs and livestock
shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition
at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada.
The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events:
1. All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership and age of all
animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited.
2. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians
upon request by fair or livestock show officials.
3. Junior exhibitors, their family members, or other 4-H members are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock
shows, in accordance with grooming rules in the 4-H State Fair Premium Book.
4. Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of drugs. The act of entering an animal in a livestock
show is the giving consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain
any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which
culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with the applicable federal,
state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal,
state, and provincial statues, regulations and rules affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event.
If the lab report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden drugs
or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is
presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the approved 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 owner, exhibitor, fitter,
trainer, or absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise at any hearing in regard to the matter conducted by the fair or livestock show.
At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications,
shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian except in breeding classes for sound management practices such as mastitis or pneumonia
control.
5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant,
or similar substance) which could affect the animal’s performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation or appearance, except external
applications of substances to hoofs or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a
duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohibited.
6. The use of showing and/or handling practices or devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other
similar practices are not acceptable and are prohibited. The use of drenching, mechanical pumping devices, or other abnormal methods to
administer water or fluids to animals will not be permitted, except for veterinarian approved treatments for dehydration.
7. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show
officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock
show management, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation, and respect and no person shall direct abusive or
threatening conduct toward them.
8. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person shall conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate
this code of ethics or knowingly contribute or cooperate with another person or persons either by affirmative action or inaction to violate
this code of ethics. Violation of this rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action.
9. The application of this code of ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or
participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention
of the code of ethics.
10. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or absolutely responsible person to have
disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show against such individuals published in any publication of the International
Association of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and Expositions and any special notices to members.
11. The act of entering an animal in a fair or livestock show is the giving of verification by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or absolutely
responsible person that he or she has read the IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics and understands the consequences of and
penalties provided for actions prohibited by the code. It is further a consent that any action which contravenes these rules and also in
violation of federal, state or provincial statues, regulations or rules may be released to appropriate law enforcement authorities with
jurisdiction over such infractions.

or sisters. A livestock resource is defined as someone who is
working with the 4-Her/4-H family to help them learn management
and fitting and grooming skills in their project area. A livestock
resource identified person would be allowed to work with the 4-Her
and their family during the fitting and grooming process to guide
and teach these skills. The 4-Her exhibiting the animal should be
present and involved in the fitting process at the county fair.
To show in the registered breed classes, animals must meet the
registration requirements for that breed and registration papers
must be available. Animals without proper registration papers
(crossbreeds and grades) must be shown as commercial.
All animal health regulations as stipulated by the Minnesota Board
of Animal Health and the County Agricultural Society will be in
effect.
All feed, hay and straw or wood shavings must be furnished by the
exhibitor. Bring your own watering and feed equipment. Identify
any grooming chutes or stands with club name.
PLEASE NOTE: All manure must be placed in designated areas.
Failure to do so will result in a zero in herdsmanship for the 4-H
club. Also, the Fairboard may withhold premium checks for parties
not following manure guidelines.
All livestock must be washed in the wash rack. Washing of animals
in any other area may result in the Fairboard withholding premium
checks of parties involved.
There is a minimum number of animals/entries required per class.
If the minimum number is not met, the class will be dropped or
combined with another class.
Herdsmanship
All 4-H members are required to care for their animals, poultry and
rabbits. Clubs will be scored on:
a. Neatness of stalls, pens and cages, including proper use of
feed, straw and water.
b. Appearance of animals.
c. Neatness of alley and walkway.
d. Courtesy and conduct of exhibitors to other exhibitors and to
the general public.

champion club will receive champion ribbons.
2. A traveling plaque will be awarded to the champion club overall.
To receive this award a club must have at least five exhibitors and
three different species of livestock. Top Club Herdsmanship Award:
$25.00 sponsored by Minnwest Bank.
Showmanship
There will be a Showmanship Contest in Beef, Swine, Sheep, Dairy,
Horse, Dog, Poultry and Rabbits. There will be Junior and Senior age
divisions. Trophies will be awarded at the Parade of Champions on
Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
Premier Showmanship
The Champion and Reserve Champion for Senior Showmanship in Beef,
Dairy, Swine and Sheep are eligible to compete. Each participant must
show all four species. The best overall showman will be named “Premier
Showman” and will receive a trophy and $25. A 4-H’er may win this
award only once during their 4-H career.
4-H Ribbon Auction
Auction will be held Saturday, July 30. 4-H’ers must sign up for the
auction by 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 29. Cost is $2 per 4-H’er.
Auction information:
1. Purpose of the Rock County 4-H Livestock Auction:
a. To give 4-H’ers incentives to be involved in 4-H livestock
8.
projects since livestock production is a major resource in Rock
County.
b. To encourage 4-H’ers to learn proper selection, feeding
management and showmanship techniques for their livestock
projects.
c. To award 4-H’ers for excellence in their livestock projects and
provide incentives to encourage improvement in their livestock
projects.
d. To provide 4-H’ers with a premium for their livestock projects
to offset the high costs of purchasing, feeding, and caring for
their livestock projects.
e. To provide funds for the 4-H Foundation Fund with these
funds to be used by the total 4-H program in Rock County.
f. To make businessmen in Rock County and the surrounding
area more aware of the 4-H livestock projects and the total 4-H
program in Rock County.
Each 4-H’er is eligible to sell one MARKET animal ribbon for
premium in the 4-H Auction. Eligible for the Auction are steers,
market heifers, barrows, market gilts, wethers, market ewes,
dairy, and market pens of poultry and rabbits. Baby Beef and
Showmanship ribbons cannot be sold at the Auction. NOTE: The
Rock County Auction is a ribbon sale. No animals are sold. Each
4-H’er must go through the auction themself.
All buyers must make settlement for premiums before leaving the
Sale Arena.
No breeding animal ribbons are allowed in the Auction except
dairy. A dairy animal ribbon may be sold for premium only once
in the 4-H Auction. A 4-H’er must have a different dairy animal to
sell in the Auction every year. The exception to this would be the
Champion and Reserve Champion dairy animals which would be
eligible to sell more than once.
The selling order for the 4-H Auction will be: All red ribbons, blue
ribbons, purple ribbons, Reserve Champion and Champion ribbons.
White ribbons are not eligible for the auction.
Auctioneers will be asked to implement a suggested starting price
of $50 for all entrants.
A minimum of 20% of the total auction proceeds will go into the
Rock County 4-H Improvement Fund (formerly the Rock County
Foundation fund). The funds in the 4-H Improvement Fund will be
used by the total 4-H program in Rock County and may include the
costs of trucking, busing and other expenses for out-of-county trips,
costs of livestock tags, special 4-H programs and events, as well
as many other possible uses. A special committee will be set up to
control the use of the funds in this 4-H Improvement Fund. Each
year accounting on the use of these funds would be made available
to businessmen who purchased premiums in the 4-H Auction and to
the 4-H families.
Scholarship Auction: the 4-H Scholarship Auction will follow the
4-H Ribbon Auction.

What may & may not be grieved:
A grievance committee may be convened for the following situations:
Alleged wrong-doing; Rule violation. A Grievance Committee WILL
NOT be convened for the following situations: Decisions made by judges
which are final; Issues related to deadlines for membership enrollment,

established process.
Who may grieve an issue:

Program Coordinator. The committee may vary depending on the appeal.
Process for filing a grievance:
During the county/state fair, grievances must be filed within
24 hours (1 day) of the incident. These must be turned in to
At the Grievance Hearing:
The grievance committee will address the written grievance via a
face-to-face meeting or by utilizing technology. It is the choice of the
individual(s) filing the grievance whether or not they are present at the
meeting. Only those individual(s) directly impacted by or involved in the
situation being grieved may speak at the hearing.
Participants in the grievance hearing are expected to act in a civil
manner. Use of profanity or other inappropriate behavior by either party
will not be tolerated and may result in termination of the hearing.
All parties are expected to provide documentation/evidence at the
hearing. If individuals are uncooperative and refuse to provide/bring
requested information, the grievance committee may terminate the
grievance process or the grievance may not be determined in favor of the
uncooperative party.
After all relevant information is presented, the committee will meet
privately to discuss the issue and come to a decision. Decisions will
be based on a majority rule. Committee members are expected to keep
discussions confidential.
Once a decision has been determined, the individual(s) filing the

Extension staff. Decisions made by the committee will be final.
The resolution of the issue will be filed in writing and kept as a
permanent record of the hearing at the Extension Office.
Role of the Extension Office Staff:
Extension staff members will forward grievances to the committee
promptly and will convene all meetings at which grievances are heard to
ensure that all sides are heard and all options/ alternatives are considered.
Extension staff will facilitate the meeting but will not have a vote in
the final decision. Extension staff will notify the individual(s) filing the
grievance of the decision.
Who will be called upon in the case of a grievance:
The committee members called upon in case of a grievance will be drawn
from the grievance committee pool, which consists of 4-H members (9th
grade and above) and volunteers who meet the requirements outlined in
the grievance committee position description and who have agreed to
serve on the grievance committee.

Requirements:
- Demonstration/Illustrated Presentations may be related to any
project that the member is enrolled in or to any area of interest or
expertise the 4-Her has. Presentations may be an individual or a twoperson team. Individual presentations shall not exceed 15 minutes in
length and team presentations should not exceed 25 minutes in length.
- Demonstrations are an oral presentation that includes actually
demonstrating the hands-on steps required to accomplish a task or
process. This most often includes the use of physical objects and actual
doing or showing. For example, a demonstration could involve using
bedding plants, potting soil and related items to demonstrate how to
plant a flower pot. At the end of the Demonstration there should be
something of a “finished product”. Demonstrations may also include the
use of supporting visuals like posters, charts or overhead transparencies.
Supporting visuals can include technology based options like
presentation software (i.e. MS PowerPoint). However, the focus of the
Demonstration should be on the “doing”, not the supporting visuals.
- Illustrated Presentations are an oral presentation that presents an
idea, concept, viewpoint or experience in an educational or informative
format. For example, an Illustrated Presentation could be a report
on leadership lessons learned through a trip to Washington DC or an
educational presentation that explores sustainable energy options.
Illustrated Presentations most often consist of interaction with supporting
visuals like posters, charts or overhead transparencies. Supporting
visuals can include technology based options like presentation software
(i.e. MS PowerPoint). Supporting visuals may include tangible items, but
generally little or no activity takes place with the item.
- Youth in Action presentations are interactive, continuous presentations
that are approximately 45 - 50 minutes in length. Topics selected for
a Youth in Action demonstration may be related to a project in which
the member is enrolled or to any other area of interest or expertise the
member has. Involving the audience in the process is the primary focus
of Youth in Action and constitutes a major portion of the evaluation
results.
- Presentation Software (i.e. MS PowerPoint) may be used for both
Demonstrations and Illustrated Talks. If Presentation Software is used
in a Demonstration, the presentation software should supplement the
Demonstration (hands on demonstrating should still be the basis of the
entry). If used for an Illustrated Talk, the presentation software can be
the basis for the entire talk; however the member must interact with
the presentation and information - not just step to the side and let the
presentation play. (Self-presenting entries created with presentation
software should be burned on to a DVD and entered in the “Video”
class.)
Special NOTE: if presentation software is utilized in either a
Demonstration or an Illustrated Talk, the 4-Her is responsible for
securing any equipment necessary for judging. Extension staff may be
able to assist in this process, but it is the responsibility of the exhibitor
to contact Extension staff WELL BEFORE the scheduled judging. The
ideal situation is to deliver the presentation with a computer and LCD
projector, but the use of transparencies and an overhead projector is also
possible.

Individual must use the fabric we
have selected. The fabric may be
purchased from The Sewing Basket,
204 E Main St, Luverne, MN.
The fabric must be used in the
project, but you can select as many
other fabrics as you desire to create
your project.
Selected fabric is limited to a
maximum of ½ yard. We highly
suggest that you do not use the
fabric as the backing for the project.
Placemats may be any size or
pattern the seamstress selects. The
4 placemats may be identical or all
can be different. They each need to
at least have the selected fabric.
Project will be judged on creative
use of selected fabric, quality of
construction, and overall appeal.
Entry times are July 25th from 5-8
pm or July 27th from 3-7:30 pm at
the Ida Reverts Memorial Hall at
the fairgrounds.
All projects must remain at the
fairgrounds for display until 9 pm
July 30th. They may be picked up
after that time or Monday, Aug. 1st
at 6 pm.
