This year s BIG HITTER Award is dedicated to one of the Seneca County Fair s biggest hearted persons. Larry always had a smile, a story and a helping hand for all drivers, pit crew members and fans. He especially loved to make the youngest fans in the grandstands laugh. If you were lucky enough to sit near the area he flagged, he made you feel welcome to be at our fair. Sadly this year he will not be with us physically, but still in our hearts. Larry, we loved you and will miss you - God Bless You and Rest in Peace.

19 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. 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 ). The state 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 , or at the division s import/export homepage: export.html Animal Identification Cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and deer/elk must be identified by USDA approved official identification. Cattle, swine and deer/elk must be identified by official ear tag. Sheep and goats must be identified by official scrapie identification (see sheep and goat sections below) Seneca County Fair Premium Book 19 Animal Health Requirements For Admission to New York State and County Fairs (Part 351 of NYS Agriculture and Markets Regulations) NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets/Division of Animal Industry 10B Airline Drive, Albany, NY New for 2015: Exhibitor Prefair Guidelines have been added to help exhibitors prepare for the fair season. It is included at the end of this document and is also available as a separate document for separate distribution. Also llamas and alpacas must be identified by microchip or official eartag. Llamas and alpacas must be identified by official ear tag or microchip. Misc. ruminants must be identified by unique eartag or microchip. 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. NOTE: If you are exhibiting animals identified by microchip a working reader must be supplied by the exhibitor. For questions on animal identification please contact your veterinarian or our office at Rabies Vaccination Rabies vaccination is required for all species for which there is a USDA licensed vaccine available (cattle, horses, sheep, dog, cat, ferret) and that are 4 months of age or older on the date of admission to the fair. Vaccine must have been administered within the past 12 months. The exception is Imrab 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. Acceptable Proof of Rabies Vaccination Acceptable proof of rabies vaccination must include a signed written statement from the veterinarian administering the vaccine or a valid certificate of veterinary inspection that has the vaccination listed and is signed by the Category 2 accredited veterinarian. Acceptable proof of rabies vaccination must include the name of the product used, the date of administration and the duration of immunity if longer than one year. If the statement of rabies vaccination is included on an EIA test record, it must be signed separately in addition to the required EIA test record signature. NOTE: Rabies titers are not acceptable proof of rabies protection and cannot be used to meet entry requirements. Acceptable proof of vaccination for dogs is a valid vaccination certificate or a copy of the dog license that contains the rabies vaccination information. BVD-PI Testing All cattle, llamas and alpacas exhibited at NY county fairs or the State Fair must be negative to an approved test appropriate to detect Bovine Viral Diarrhea persistent infection (BVD-PI). The testing veterinarian is responsible to make sure the proper test is conducted. This is a once in a lifetime test that must be reported on the required certificate of veterinary inspection. The issuing veterinarian is responsible for verifying the validity of the test, the identification of the animal and recording the test date on the CVI. If a previous test is not verifiable the test must be repeated. Continued page 21

22 Seneca County Fair Premium Book Exhibitor Prefair Guidelines Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Swine, Llamas and Alpacas, Cervids, Misc. Ruminants Review the animal health requirements booklet including information for your species before your veterinarian arrives to inspect your animals. If you have any questions ask. Your veterinarian is responsible for inspecting your animals and completing the certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI). Call early to avoid the last minute rush when mistakes are made and there is no time to correct. Make sure official eartags are present on cattle and swine and USDA approved scrapie ID is in place on sheep and goats. Llamas and alpacas require a microchip or eartag. If a microchip is utilized make sure the veterinarian confirms the microchip ID or places one. ALL IDENTIFICATION MUST BE RECORDED. Make sure it is. Review the CVI carefully upon receipt to make sure all the information is correct including any required test or vaccination information. DO NOT stuff it in an envelope and assume all is well. The time to correct is before pulling them out at the fair. The CVI is your document and you share responsibility if it is incorrect. If you are importing livestock from out of state make sure the interstate requirements are met and you have a valid interstate certificate of veterinary inspection. Poultry Schedule pullorum flock inspection and testing well ahead of the fair if your flock is participating in the NPIP program. If you re having your birds tested within 90 days of the fair you must go to a pullorum clinic. Available clinics are listed on the Dept. website. No individual testing is available if you miss a clinic. Birds qualified by 90 day test must be identified by official leg band.

25 Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deport themselves with honest 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 officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership, and age of all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited Seneca County Fair Premium Book 25 IAFE (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS) NATIONAL CODE OF SHOW RING ETHICS If the laboratory 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 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 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 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. 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 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 volatile 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 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 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 statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal s performance or appearance at the event. 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. 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.

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 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 Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and Expositions and any special notices to members. 11.

The criteria should be known prior to the evaluation process by the 4-Her, leader, parent/guardian and judge. When determining how closely a product or presentation meets the standard, we must always think in terms of the capabilities of individuals of similar developmental groups. There is no limit to the number of items that can receive each level of award (Blue, Red, and White). With very few exceptions, every item is awarded a ribbon of some kind. Judge s written comments provide encouragement and point out the path for improvement. This evaluation serves that same purpose as a teacher s correction of a student s school work; it gives the participants an opportunity to learn from their work and thus is an essential part of the educational process. Ribbons or ratings indicate the general quality of workmanship achieved. Blue (Excellent) The workmanship shows little room for improvement compared to the relative standard. Comments could suggest something to try in the future as abilities grow. Red (Good) The workmanship is satisfactory or average, but there are definite areas for improvement, even considering the age and abilities of the child. White (Worthy) The workmanship shows that little effort has been made and that the finished product is useable for the purpose intended. However, there is much room for improvement, even considering the age and abilities of the child. Green (Cloverbud) This is given to recognize the participation and achievement of Cloverbud members in the judging process. This is to eliminate comparison and misunderstanding among young members. Cloverbuds are not evaluated as regular 4-H members are at the fair. They have the opportunity to talk to a judge about their 4-H project. State Fair Selection Ribbons: Entries that are selected for the State Fair are divided into two categories: Judging and Display. Projects for State Fair are selected both by the judges and the 4-H staff. Ribbons will be attached to items selected by the 4-H Staff. Purple: Items selected at the Seneca County Fair for New York State Fair JUDGING. Projects must have received a blue ribbon and exhibitor must be 9 years old by September 30 of the current year. Rainbow: Items selected from the Seneca County Fair for DISPLAY at the New York State Fair. Cloverbuds and all other 4-H members may have projects selected for display.
