A. Define unethical practices as broadly stated in the IAFE and general rules as any act that alters the normal
color, conformation, handling or behavior of the animal or any act by the exhibitor or his/her
representative or family that may intimidate, influence, threaten or abuse show or sale officials, directors,
judges or fellow exhibitors.
B. Monitor or investigate any unethical practices that may be observed or alleged.
C. Have the rule and final authority to deal with that situation (this may include, but not be limited to, close
physical inspection, random or selective blood testing or other testing) which may, by the determination
of this committee, result in barring or disqualifying calves from the show and/or sale and/or barring or
disqualification of exhibitor from that year's event or future year's event.
8. Decisions by the Standards and Practices Committee may not be reversed during that year's event by the
Board of Directors or any sponsoring agency. Exhibitors may appeal to the Board of Directors in writing any
decisions of the Standards and Practices Committee by December 1 of the year of the event.
7Appendix I: Animal Health Program
General:
Consignors must begin pre-vaccination programs for calves participating in the Livestock Roundup in July
and no later than July 31, 2021. Because calves will be comingled/shipped and many heifers are retained
for breeding, Haemophilus somnus and Leptospirosis are strongly recommended but not required.
Heifers should be pre-vaccinated and boostered with 5-way Leptospirosis. All vaccinations must be
administered according to Beef Quality Assurance Guidelines.
The health program (pre-vaccination) will be initiated either by the producer and/or the attending
veterinarian; however, booster vaccinations must be administered by the attending veterinarian and the
“Certificate of Vaccination” form completed and signed. The completed Certificate of Vaccination must
accompany calves upon arrival at Jackson’s Mill.
Listed below are sample vaccination protocols utilized by the WV Beef Quality Assurance Comprehensive
Herd Health Program. Please review the programs with your veterinarian and select the protocol of your
choice. To assist animal health diagnostic procedures, please complete vaccinations utilizing a single
protocol. If questions arise, please contact Kevin Shaffer at 304-293-2669 or by email at
Kevin.Shaffer@mail.wvu.edu .
NOTE: Pre-vaccination of all calves at this time as part of a comprehensive herd health program is
required, and all Beef Quality Assurance best management practices are strongly encouraged.

BRSV (Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
7-way Clostridium
Pasteurella
Haemophilus somnus (optional)
Lepto 5 (5 strains of leptospirosis) (optional)

Boostered for IBR, PI3, BVD, BRSV
Livestock
7-way Clostridium Initial Booster
Vaccination Vaccination Roundup
Pasteurella July 7-31 Sept. 16-20
Dewormed/Grubicide
Lepto 5 (optional)
Deadlines to vaccinate and wean for the Livestock Roundup: 21 to 30 d 30- 45 days
to booster
Pre-vaccination: July 7-31
Booster: 21-30 days from pre-vaccination
Calves should be weaned minimum of 45 days (by August 1)
It can be challenging to design health protocols for producers and 4-H’ers exhibiting and marketing
livestock at county fairs and festivals. Emphasis on food safety and biosecurity as related to herd health
and consumer safety requires scrutiny by fair boards and/or livestock committees. At a minimum, herd
health protocols should be followed for animals that are exhibited and returned to the farm. Risk
management assessments should be practiced when animals are assembled from different farms within
or out of the state. Biosecurity risk is related not only to contact with animals but also by other exhibitors
or spectators touring the barns or attending the shows.
The animal health program used for calves being marketed through the West Virginia State Livestock
Roundup is extensive and complete. Select a pharmaceutical company and design health programs within
product line rather than mixing products from various companies. In the event that technical services are
needed, help is readily available if products originate from a single company. The key date is sale day! All
vaccines, feed additives, dewormers, or antibiotics administered must meet required withdrawal times
on the day of or prior to sale.
Always follow the label!! Not all products are created equal. Some have 60-day withdrawal periods, and
others have 30 days. Some feeds contain antibiotics. Caution must be taken to follow the labeled
withdrawal times on feed. If you have a question about withdrawals, consult a veterinarian or check the
West Virginia Beef Quality Assurance Handbook’s compendium of veterinary products. Your goal is to
provide a quality product and excellent eating experience for the buyer of your livestock project.
Biosecurity at a livestock show is difficult to control so producers must be responsible for taking measures
to protect their investment. A good animal health program should be developed with the consultation of
a large-animal veterinarian. All animals returning to the farm should be held in isolation 21 to 30 days
before being exposed to the resident herd.

International Association of Fairs and Expositions National Code of Show Ring Ethics
Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall, at all times, conduct 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 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 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 violative 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.
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.
