IAFE (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS)
NATIONAL CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS
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. In addition to the
"IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics," fairs and livestock shows may have
rules and regulations, which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial, and national levels.
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 official,
proof 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 responsible persons shall provide
animal health certificates from licensed veterinarians upon request by fair or
livestock show officials.
3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at
fairs or livestock shows.
4. Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food
chain free of violate drug residues. The act of entering an animal in a
livestock show is the giving of, consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer
and/or responsible person for show management to obtain any specimens of
urine, saliva, blood, or other substance from the animal to be used in testing.
Animals not entered in an event that culminates with the animal entering, the
food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with
applicable federal, state and provincial statures, 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 laboratory report on the
analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other samples taken from livestock
9
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 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, the 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 and the sample
was taken, with the burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or
absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise. At any time after an animal
arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the
use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health
of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian.
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 application of
substances to the 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 the
animals to cause swelling using electrical contrivance or other similar
practices are not acceptable and are prohibited.
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 responsible person shall conspire with
another person or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or
knowingly contribute or cooperative 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 this 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 for violation of this code of Show
Ring Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or livestock show
without recourse against the fair or livestock show. The act of entering an
animal is the giving of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary action
10
taken by the fair or livestock show may be published with the name of the
violator or violators in any publication of the International Association of Fair
and Expositions, including Fair and Expositions and any special notices to
members.
11. The act of entering of 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 is also in violation of federal, state, or provincial
statues, regulations, or rules may be released to appropriated law
enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions.

General Prohibitions and Requirements

No person shall bring or have present an animal on the fairgrounds during a fair which is
not qualified under NYS regulations.
 No person shall present an interstate or intrastate certificate of veterinary inspection that
has been altered by anyone other than the issuing veterinarian or an authorized agent.
 Animals demonstrating clinical signs or other evidence of infectious, contagious or
communicable diseases shall not be allowed on the fairgrounds during a fair.
 Representatives of the Commissioner may deny admission to or require removal from
the fair premises, or require the segregation of any animal showing signs of or exposed
to any infectious, contagious or communicable disease.
NOTE: The fair board of directors has the authority to reject unworthy or unsightly exhibits for
reasons other than infectious, contagious or communicable disease (Part 350.10). The state
13
veterinarian or animal health inspector will bring questionable exhibits to the attention of the fair
board.

All animals presented that originate from a location other than New York shall meet all
New York State importation regulations appropriate to the species in addition to the fair
animal health requirements.
Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)



Cattle, sheep, goats, swine, llamas, alpacas, deer, and misc. ruminants, require a valid
CVI to enter the fairgrounds.
The CVI must be issued by a Category 2 accredited veterinarian.
All animals must be officially identified. All manmade ID must be recorded.
Refer to Animal Identification section below for more information.


Only one species is allowed per certificate.
The type and duration of certificate required depends on the origin of the livestock.
New York Origin Livestock:



A valid intrastate CVI (AI-61) is required.
Each animal must be individually identified on the CVI (see below).
The CVI must be issued on or after May 1 of the current year.
Out of State Origin Livestock:



All animals entering New York State must satisfy import health and test requirements for
that species and be accompanied by a valid interstate CVI.
The interstate CVI is valid for 30 days from the date of CVI inspection. During the fair
season (July 1 through Labor Day) valid CVI’s can be used multiple times for entrance
into fairs. The initial entrance into a fair must be within 30 days of the date of CVI
inspection. In order for the CVI to be used for a later fair, it must be dated and initialed
by a state official noting the location of the initial fair. A change in health status or
eligibility of an animal necessitates the generation of a new CVI.
Questions regarding import requirements should be directed to the Division of Animal
Industry at 518-457-3971, or at the division’s import/export homepage:
http://www.agriculture.ny.gov/AI/import_export.html

of Agriculture and Markets. A sketch or photograph signed and dated by an accredited
veterinarian is also acceptable identification for llamas and alpacas.
Misc. ruminants must be identified by Department of Agriculture and Markets approved
identification.
NOTE: A complete written description is sufficient identification for horses entering New York
accompanied by a CVI. The description must match the EIA test record. Horse sketches and
descriptions should reference color pattern, hair whorls, chestnuts, scars and other markings as
necessary to uniquely identify the horse. Tattoos and microchips if any should be included. “Bay,
no markings” is not an acceptable description for a CVI or EIA test record.

LA vaccine used in sheep which protects for 3 years after the second annual vaccination
(consult your veterinarian).
The rabies vaccination requirement must be met on the day of admission even if the
animal was previously admitted to a fair when too young to vaccinate.
NOTE: Individual fairs can require animals for which there is no approved rabies vaccine to be
vaccinated for rabies. The requirements outlined above would apply. The fair is responsible for
notifying exhibitors. The New York State Fair requires rabies vaccination for all livestock
species entering the grounds.
