Exhibitors of animals (beef, dairy, goat, horse, poultry, rabbit, sheep, dog, and swine), at all animal science activities and events shall at all times conduct themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to all 4-H ers who participate in structured classes of competition and animal science activities and events in 4-H. This code applies to all animals offered in any animal science activity, event, or show. All youth leaders (including parents and UME Volunteers) working with 4-H 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 who violate the code of animal science ethics will forfeit premiums, awards, and auction proceeds and may be prohibited from future participation. 4-H Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all animal exhibitors. Infractions will be reviewed by a 4-H Board of Review, on the local or state level, as appropriate to the event in question and may be subject to a fair oversight committee. In addition, some acts may be subject to review of the State 4-H Office and/or UME based upon the 4-H Behavioral Expectations (4-H 418) and/or UME policies. The following is a list of standards for all exhibitors and all animals in competitive events and activities: 1.

Animals shall be presented to activities and events, where they will enter the food chain, free of drugs. The act of entering an animal in an animal show activity, or event is giving the consent by the owner for event managment to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, hair, tissue, or other substance from the animal to be used in testing. Specimens may also be utlized to determine the identity of the animal. Animals entered shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state, and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Animals shall not be

3 164 Fair of Dreams Country Nights & Carnival Lights The Great Frederick Fair exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state, and provincial statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal s performance or appearance at the event. If the laboratory report on the chemical analysis of saliva, urine, blood, hair, tissue, 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 accurateand 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 to prove otherwise at any review in regard to the matter conducted by the fair or livestock event or 4-H. At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or animal science event premises, a licensed veterinarian shall administer all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications. 5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counter irritant, or similar sub-stance) which could affect the animal s performance or alter its natural contour, conformation, or appearance, except external applications 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.

All swine may be clipped prior to an event, however may not be clipped once at the 4-H event or activity. The length of the clipped hair is not to be less than 0.5 inches in length when measured at any location on the body. 8.

Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair, or animal show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show officials before, during, or after the event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges fair and animal management, or other event officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation, and respect and no person shall direct abusive or threat-ening conduct toward them or exhibitors participating in the activity. For disciplinary procedures, please refer to 4-H No owner shall violate this Code of Ethics or 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. 11. The application of this code of ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal s condition to the owner 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. 12. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, parent, or guardian to have any disciplinary action taken by the fair, animal science event, UME or 4-H for violation of this Code of Animal Science Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair, animal science event, UME or 4-H without recourse against the fair, animal science event, UME or 4-H.

7 172 Fair of Dreams Country Nights & Carnival Lights The Great Frederick Fair Bullying & Harassment Policy among exhibitors Adopted: 2017 Everyone has the right to feel respected and be treated with dignity. The Great Frederick Fair encourages that exhibitors are to act in a courteous, honest manner, to provide an optimal competitive environment for achievement and be free from verbal assault, violence and harassment. This includes both in the exhibit area and the show ring. Superintendents establish clear behavior standards and make every effort to be aware of problems, provide proper guidance and supervision and consistently and fairly enforce policies. If a mutual agreement cannot take place. Then a letter must be sent with the superintendent or directly sent to the Fair Office. Bullying incidents, however, usually tend to occur out of sight of fair-going public. While poor sportsmanship may also be interpreted as bullying or harassment, care should be taken and clear narratives of any incident should be documented. A comprehensive approach that includes youth, youth leaders, parents, superintendents, show staff, and exhibitors has the most promise in reducing bullying. It is not helpful to simply tell a person to ignore bullying or encourage a person to fight the bully. It is important to report bullying because it may not stop without help.
