Their conduct in this competitive environment hall, 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.

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 with the approval of the Official Show Veterinarian. 5.

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 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 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 proceeding 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.

Once all samples have been collected, both sets will be transported to a secure facility as determined by the Arkansas Livestock & Poultry Commission. One set will be tested for drug violations. Any violations found will be submitted to ASF Management, which will then form a committee to make a determination regarding the violation. Information regarding the committee and penalties for the violation are listed in the Junior Division General Rules. All sample collections and testing are supervised by the Arkansas Livestock & Poultry Commission. See detailed collection procedure information in the General Rules of the Arkansas State Fair Livestock Show. DNA COMPARISON Prior to nomination into the ASF Market Show, exhibitors are required to submit a hair sample for DNA comparison for each animal nominated. DNA Samples MUST include hair follicles. Original samples that are submitted without follicles in tact or empty envelopes may be subject to disqualification, premiums being withheld, and auction money being withheld. If the sample is deemed inconclusive by the laboratory because of missing hair follicles, the test will be considered a mismatch and appropriate penalties will be applied.

Only one person at a time shall lead animals into the show ring. Any product administered internally or used externally to alter the conformation and/or appearance of an animal for exhibition is prohibited. This includes the covering of white skin, false tail heads (or use of any false hair), use of graphite, powders, hemp or other similar substances externally and steroids, growth stimulants or artificial filling internally. Any animal found to be in violation will be barred from showing. The exhibition of cattle displaying false hair will not be allowed, with the exception of false tail switches. For an exhibitor to be eligible at shows for premium monies contributed by the American Angus Association, each exhibitor is subject to Part 3, Section IX of the Association s rules entitled Eligibility Conformation and Structure of Animals Presented for Exhibition. Included in this is rule 11: Effective July 1, 2004, at any show for which the American Angus Association appropriates funds toward the payment of premiums, no exhibitors, and individuals assisting exhibitors or member owners at such show be allowed to use any coloring agents, on any animal exhibited. The Association may adopt and implement various tests designed to monitor this prohibition, including but not limited to a white towel or white glove test. No aerosol cans or other pressurized containers will be allowed in designated make up areas. DNA MARKER OR BLOOD TYPE FOR PARENTAGE VERIFICATION -- Under the Association Rules, each animal for which entry application (registration) is received, may be subjected to a DNA marker type or blood type test to verify ACCURACY OF PARENTAGE as covered under Association Rules. Staff of the American Angus Association must supervise the collection of DNA or blood samples. Animals are often sampled at shows, fairs, or events where the American Angus Association contributes premiums or where Association personnel participate. If a recorded parent is excluded (as a parent) as a result of DNA or blood type, the owner may request, at his own expense, the Association to determine the actual parent. Failure to determine the sire and dam disqualifies the animal s eligibility in the Angus Herd Book, and the registration certificate becomes null and void. 61

JUDGE: Darrell Pitchford SPECIAL RULES Animals must be registered in the American Brahman Breeders Association to be eligible to compete in association-sponsored shows. The Registration Certificate for each entry must be available for presentation to show personnel at the time entries are verified prior to judging. The registration number and animal identification number (number branded on animal) of (1) each animal must be entered in an individual class, (2) the sire of each get-of-sire entry and (3) the dam of each produce-of-dam entry must be listed on the entry form of each animal entered. Entries that have not complied with rules one (1) and two (2) above will not be eligible to show, receive premium monies or earn points in the association s Register of Renown. Animals to be eligible to be shown in group classes must be entered and shown in individual classes. Entries will be listed numerically according to age (youngest first) in catalogs and judging schedules. Include animal identification number (number brand) as part of identification. When entering the arena for judging, the handlers will line cattle up numerically in same order. Judges will be allowed to comment on placings in selected classes when conditions permit. Each animal will be presented in the show ring in its natural conformation and structure without alteration or modification. Alteration or modification shall be defined to include any surgical or circulatory constriction including banding or other appearance change, save only branding, tattooing, foot trimming or dehorning. Injections of foreign substances internally for cosmetic purposes, steroids, growth hormones, or stimulants is prohibited. If, to the satisfaction of the ABBA staff, officers, executive committee or board of directors, any animal that has had its natural conformation and structure altered or been administered steroids, growth hormones or stimulants; then the said animal shall be ruled ineligible to compete until such time the Show Committee and owner/owners have reviewed the case. Any violators, both owner & fitter will be ineligible to exhibit cattle at ABBA Approved Shows for 5 years. If any exhibitor/owner/showman interferes in any way with the judge or shows disrespect to him or to the show in the ring, the exhibitor/owner/showman may be dismissed by the judge or show management from the ring. The management may withhold from each exhibitor/owner/showman any premium monies that may be awarded or take other steps deemed desirable. In cases where families, companies, corporations, etc. are operated as a unit under the same management but have cattle also registered in the name of the individual partners, said cattle, even though bearing a different ownership brand, are eligible to be shown in competition under the firm name provided they have not been and will not be shown in the name of the individuals. Arkansas State Fair requires that all entries are made in the name of the owner. For females being shown in the three oldest classes, exhibitor must have a certificate of pregnancy issued by a licensed veterinarian to be presented to show officials at time of check in. The show reserves the right to perform pregnancy determination by palpation for females in the above classes at any given ABBA approved show if an official protest has been filed. For Fall Shows, the last class of females is required to

74 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Swine Last Updated 6/25/2014 have a calf at side. The only exemption from this rule will be cows that have already weaned a calf and the registration certificate of the calf MUST be presented to the judge. All bulls will be shown with a nose ring or nose restraint with lead attached. For bulls showing in the oldest class, exhibitor must have a certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian stating the bull has produced viable semen. This certificate must be available for inspection by the judge on request. This deals with the produce of dam classes and the Get-of-Sire classes: Embryo Produce of Dam Two animals from the show classes produced by one dam by embryo transfer either or both sexes may be represented. Group entries must be made in one exhibitor s name and must be made during entry process. No ownership requirement. Natural Produce of Dam Two natural born animals produced by one dam from the show classes, either or both sexes may be represented. No ownership requirement.. Get-of-Sire Four animals from at least two dams by one sire from the individual show classes, both sexes must be represented. No ownership requirement.. No exhibitor shall be permitted to show more than one produce or embryo-produce-of-dam per dam. Cows that are exhibited with calves at side must be in a lactating stage. Calves must be shown and exhibited with their dams and said calves must not exceed 240 days of age on day of judging. The judge will be made aware by the ring steward of those cows whose calves are ineligible to show by this rule. Cattle will not be allowed to show if their switches have been balled or glitter applied to their skin. The owner of record of any registered animal entered in an ABBA-approved show and/or his/her agent, exhibitor, fitter, handler and/or representative releases ABBA and its representatives from any and all liability that seller/owner might claim as a result of injury of any kind sustained before, during, or after handling cattle for any ABBA board approved activity. For shows to remain approved point shows by ABBA, they must maintain a 20 head average for the previous two years. ALL animals MUST have a Birth Weight submitted to be eligible to show in ABBA Approved Shows The official ABBA rules and procedures governing showing and exhibiting of registered Brahman cattle supersede any rules printed in any show catalog In an attempt to insure that all animals receive an equal evaluation, classes with more than 30 entries may at the discretion of the Show Management and/or ABBA Officials be split by age as evenly as possible. Brands and registration papers will be checked during check in. Original registration papers must be presented at check in. (No copies will be accepted) Entries must be made in the name of the Owner. Animals showing signs of warts or other disease will be disqualified and will be required to leave grounds. 74

78 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Swine Last Updated 6/25/2014 OPEN BRANGUS DIVISION 1003 MAY ARRIVE IN PLACE SHOW DATE RELEASE Tuesday, October 14 Wednesday, October 15 Thursday, October 16 Friday, October 17 All Day 8:00 AM Immediately following Junior Brangus Show 6:00 PM JUDGE: Darrell Pitchford SUPERINTENDENT: Kevin Rieff SPECIAL RULES Animals must be registered with the International Brangus Breeders Association to be eligible to compete in Association-sponsored shows. Animals recorded in the IBBA appendix registry are disqualified. The registration certificates for each entry must be available for presentation to the Superintendent or Manager of the show at the time entries are verified prior to judging. Arkansas State Fair requires that the original registration certificates are presented at check in. Photocopies are not accepted. The IBBA, and its representatives, have the authority to require such tests as they deem necessary to verify the accuracy of the classification and pedigree of exhibited Brangus animals. Said authority shall extend to, and cover the enforcement of, all show rules as adopted by the IBBA. The registration number and animal identification number (brand or tattoo), birth date and sire of each animal entered in an individual class, and the sire of each entry, must be listed on the entry form of each animal entered. All calves exhibited at the side of a Brangus female must be registered with the IBBA and meet all rules required for show eligibility and inspections of exhibits. Animals eligible to be shown in group classes must be entered and shown in respective individual classes. Cows exhibited in the cow/calf classes are not eligible for the group classes. Prior to check-in, heads of breeding animals must be clipped of all hair (including topknots), and be free of scurs and/or slick spots. Any animal found to have scurs and/or slick spots, or evidence of incisions, surgical or otherwise, in the following areas: head, testicles, sheath, navel or dewlap; including scars from caesarean sections, will be disqualified from showing. Animals with illegal white (white in front of the navel) or any indication of brindling (a color pattern characterized by red streaks mingled with black) are ineligible for show. Any animal upon check-in, which does not have a legible tattoo or brand corresponding to its registration certificate, is ineligible to show. Once disqualified due to an incorrect or illegible tattoo/brand, animals cannot be re-tattooed and rechecked at the show. The brand/tattoo can be corrected and rechecked at the next available show. All bulls (shown as individual entry) must be shown with a nose ring or nose restraint with lead attached Any Brangus animal recorded in the IBBA Registry that has a Parentage Dispute listed in its 78

79 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Swine Last Updated 6/25/2014 first three-generation pedigree is ineligible for participation in Brangus shows and exhibitions. If the dispute is resolved, the listing will be removed from the pedigree and show eligibility will be restored. In IBBA-sanctioned shows, no animal may be shown that has been artificially filled with any amount of liquid at any time once the animal enters the grounds of a show. The fitter or ranch entity involved with an animal being artificially filled will be banned from the show ring for one year and the animal will be disqualified from exhibition at that particular show. The official show veterinarian may administer liquids orally, if so needed, without disqualifying animal(s) from exhibition. Arkansas State Fair has strict guidelines regarding this rule and other penalties may apply. No animal may be shown that has had any foreign object glued to or otherwise attached in a manner so as to alter its conformation or change its appearance. Tail ties and hair nets used on the tail and switch are the only exception. Paint or coloring agents of any kind are not to be used on any animal exhibited at IBBA sponsored shows. The use of aerosol products will not be permitted in the line-up area for the show. Animals will be toweled in the line-up area prior to entering the show ring. Animals found in violation of these policies will be disqualified from the show ring. All Brangus bulls 15 months of age or older that are exhibited at IBBA sponsored shows must have passed a fertility examination given by a licensed veterinarian to be eligible to show. The results of this examination must be available at check in. Once a bull has a positive examination retesting is not required. All females 20 months of age or older exhibited at IBBA sanctioned shows, must have available at the time of check-in, a certificate of pregnancy issued by an accredited, non-owner veterinarian, or blood test results certificate. If the female is open due to being in an embryo transfer program, this fact must be verified in a written statement by a non-owner embryologist. If verification cannot be produced, the female may be allowed to participate if the exhibitor can produce a qualified veterinarian to examine the female at the show site and verify pregnancy. Entries that have not complied with all of the above rules will not be eligible to show, to receive premium monies, or earn points in the IBBA s Sire of the Year, Show Bull of the Year, and Show Heifer of the Year awards. All IBBA and IJBBA members will abide by the show rules as adopted. In addition, any show, fair, event or display in which Brangus cattle participate should follow these rules as adopted by IBBA. All Brangus entries are subject to the provision of a rule of the IBBA entitled Inspection of Exhibits Tattoos/brands and registration papers may be checked during check in. Original registration papers must be presented at check in. (No copies will be accepted) Entries must be made in the name of the Owner. Animals showing signs of warts or other disease will be disqualified and will be required to leave the Fairgrounds. 79

80 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Swine Last Updated 6/25/2014 INSPECTION OF EXHIBITS The IBBA, and its representatives, have the authority to require such tests as they deem necessary to verify the accuracy of the classification and pedigree of exhibited Brangus animals. Said authority shall extend to, and cover the enforcement of, all show rules as adopted by IBBA. Each exhibitor shall submit his or her registered Brangus cattle to such tests and examinations as requested and/or required by the IBBA, its authorized representatives, or the authorized representatives of the relevant show. For, and in consideration of, the opportunity to participate in any Brangus function, each exhibitor hereby releases the IBBA, its officers, directors and representatives from negligence, any and all claims, suits, and judgments past, present, or future, arising from or connected with the administration or use of such test or examination and the resulting decisions there from. Dental Inspection: All entries may be classified for judging on an age basis and should be entered in class according to age. Teeth may be inspected by a veterinarian designated by the IBBA in order to determine whether dental development is within allowable limits for the class so entered. If the veterinarian determines that, in his or her opinion, dental development exceeds maximum allowable limits, the animal shall be moved to an older class as determined by the veterinarian and shall remain in that class until determined otherwise by subsequent mouthing or favorable appeal to the IBBA Executive Committee. If it is not possible to move an animal, the animal may not be exhibited in such show. Any exhibitor desiring to dispute or challenge the results of any such test, exam, or show rule enforcement, as applied to his or her animal, shall do so in accordance with procedures established by the Rules of the IBBA. Appeal: An appeal from the decision of the veterinarian or IBBA-designated association representatives under Sections 1 and 4 of the Inspection of Exhibits may be made to the Executive Committee of the IBBA if the following requirements are satisfied: (1) The appeal is in writing and is signed by the appealing party, and (2) the appealing party files the written appeal with the IBBA Executive Committee as soon as possible after the veterinarian s or designated association representative s decision was made. If an appeal satisfying the foregoing requirements is filed with the IBBA Executive Committee, the Executive Committee shall hold a hearing at which the appealing party, and the veterinarian or designated association representative, whose decision is being appealed shall present statements and other evidence that are relevant to the matter following which the Executive Committee shall render a decision which shall be final and conclusive. IBBA Blood Typing for Parentage Verification: Each Brangus animal for which an entry application or registration is received may be subjected to a blood typing test in order to verify both accuracy of parentage and blood type, according to Rules 1 and 2 of the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) Inspection of Exhibits. At selected shows and fairs, blood samples will be taken from all division champions and reserve division champions for the purpose of verifying parentage and blood type. Staff of the IBBA will supervise the collection of blood samples, which can be taken at shows, fairs, and events where IBBA contributes premium money or where IBBA staff personnel participate. Cost of the blood typing procedure will be paid for by the IBBA. If a recorded parent is excluded (as a parent) as a result of blood typing, the owner of the animal may request, at his or her own expense, further determination of the actual parent. Failure to determine the sire and dam will result in the animal being ineligible for future shows and exhibitions. 80

167 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Rabbits Last Updated 6/25/2014 ASF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR DRUG AND IDENTIFICATION (DNA) TESTING DRUG TESTING POLICY & PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS Any exhibitor and all other parties found in violation of the Arkansas Livestock Show Association Drug Policy or the IAFE Show Ring Code of Ethics are subject to penalties as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Arkansas State Fair. The purpose of drug testing at the Arkansas State Fair is to ensure that no animal has an unfair advantage because of drug use. Urine samples will be collected, transported to and analyzed at the state laboratory facilities by and under supervision of authorized personnel of Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission. Some of the ways that drugs can be used to create an unfair advantage are: 1. Masking the signs of pain (for example, drugs that treat lameness). 2. Altering the behavior of an animal (for example, sedatives). 3. Enhancing weight gain or muscle mass (for example, anabolic steroids). The ASF does not compile a complete and specific list of acceptable drugs, as this list would be very lengthy and constantly changing. Further, we believe this is more appropriately determined by ALPC, and subject to the following basic requirements, as stated in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics, the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal; and those that will not affect the animal s performance or alter its natural contour, conformation or appearance. Any exhibitor and all other parties found in violation of the Arkansas Livestock Show Association Drug Policy or the IAFE Show Ring Code of Ethics are subject to penalties as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Arkansas State Fair. IDENTIFICATION (DNA) POLICY AND PENALTY As a condition for participation in Livestock Shows at the Arkansas State Fair, every exhibitor in the market shows agrees to submit DNA validation/registration samples of any and all animals entered by exhibitor for purposes of identification. Market Shows require that the animal exhibited at the Show be the same as the animal enrolled during the nomination procedure. The Show specifically reserves the right to obtain and maintain hair and/or blood DNA samples and have analysis made on any animal entered for the competition. The conclusion reached by the testing company/laboratories shall be final, without recourse against the Show or its service providers. If the animal s identity (taken at the show) is found to differ from its validation/registration sample, then the exhibitor will forfeit any prize money and/or sale proceeds and may forfeit all rights and privileges of future participation, and will be subject to penalties as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Arkansas State Fair. All incidents of misconduct will be documented by Arkansas State Fair Officials and will be reported to the National Livestock Show & Rodeo Manager s database of IAFE Show Ring Code of Show Ring Ethics offenders. Being reported in this database could impair exhibitor s ability to participate in livestock shows throughout the nation. 167

180 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Rabbits Last Updated 6/25/2014 ASF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR DRUG AND IDENTIFICATION (DNA) TESTING DRUG TESTING POLICY & PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS Any exhibitor and all other parties found in violation of the Arkansas Livestock Show Association Drug Policy or the IAFE Show Ring Code of Ethics are subject to penalties as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Arkansas State Fair. The purpose of drug testing at the Arkansas State Fair is to ensure that no animal has an unfair advantage because of drug use. Urine samples will be collected, transported to and analyzed at the state laboratory facilities by and under supervision of authorized personnel of Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission. Some of the ways that drugs can be used to create an unfair advantage are: 7. Masking the signs of pain (for example, drugs that treat lameness). 8. Altering the behavior of an animal (for example, sedatives). 9. Enhancing weight gain or muscle mass (for example, anabolic steroids). The ASF does not compile a complete and specific list of acceptable drugs, as this list would be very lengthy and constantly changing. Further, we believe this is more appropriately determined by ALPC, and subject to the following basic requirements, as stated in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the IAFE National Code of Show Ring Ethics, the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal; and those that will not affect the animal s performance or alter its natural contour, conformation or appearance. Any exhibitor and all other parties found in violation of the Arkansas Livestock Show Association Drug Policy or the IAFE Show Ring Code of Ethics are subject to penalties as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Arkansas State Fair. IDENTIFICATION (DNA) POLICY AND PENALTY As a condition for participation in Livestock Shows at the Arkansas State Fair, every exhibitor in the market shows agrees to submit DNA validation/registration samples of any and all animals entered by exhibitor for purposes of identification. Market Shows require that the animal exhibited at the Show be the same as the animal enrolled during the nomination procedure. The Show specifically reserves the right to obtain and maintain hair and/or blood DNA samples and have analysis made on any animal entered for the competition. The conclusion reached by the testing company/laboratories shall be final, without recourse against the Show or its service providers. If the animal s identity (taken at the show) is found to differ from its validation/registration sample, then the exhibitor will forfeit any prize money and/or sale proceeds and may forfeit all rights and privileges of future participation, and will be subject to penalties as stated in the General Rules and Regulations for the Arkansas State Fair. Incidents of misconduct will be documented by Arkansas State Fair Officials and may be reported to the National Livestock Show & Rodeo Manager s database of IAFE Show Ring Code of Show Ring Ethics offenders. Being reported in this database could impair exhibitor s ability to participate in livestock shows throughout the nation. 180

181 Arkansas State Fair and Livestock Show Rabbits Last Updated 6/25/2014 ARKANSAS MEAT GOAT ASSOCIATION ARKANSAS BRED WETHER PROGRAM The members of the Arkansas Meat Goat Association are sponsoring the Arkansas Born and Bred Wether Program to promote the Arkansas meat Goat Industry. The Arkansas Bred Wether Program Committee will determine the official payout based on the number of entries in the show. Rules for the ArMGA Wether Program 1. Breeders participating in this program MUST be a member in good standing for the ArMGA. Breeders participating in the program must nominate their wethers by filling out an ABW Breeders Form and submit it to the ArMGA address listed on the form, along with your payment for the number of ear tags you requested. Once the office receives the official form, a representative of the tagging committee will call to make arrangements to come verify the listed wethers on the form and tag them. 2. The purpose of the Arkansas Born and Bred Wether Program is to promote the showing of wethers born and bred by Arkansas producers. Does will not be allowed to show. 3. Breeders that were a member of the ArMGA by January 1st of that show year will pay a nomination fee of $10.00 per head. If you join the ArMGA after January 1st of that show year, you will be charged a nomination fee of $15.00 per head. By filling out the breeders form and paying your nomination fee, you are stating the animal meets all requirements to participate in the ABW program. This form must be completely filled out and must include the scrapie tag number. Breeders forms and payment must be postmarked no later than June 2, All wethers participating in the program must be tagged by July 15th of that show year, by a member of the tagging committee. Wethers must be tagged by the tagging committee prior to leaving the breeders farm with the official ABW ear tag and the herd of origin scrapie tag # that was submitted on the form. Members of the tagging committee cannot tag their own animals. 5. July 15th is the ownership deadline for exhibitors. 6. Exhibitors may nominate up to 6 wethers but only show 3. There will be a $25.00 per head fee for each wether nominated. Exhibitors of these wethers will be the only ones allowed to exhibit them at County, District, or State Fairs. Exhibiting them at any other Fair in the name of another individual or family member could make them ineligible to participate in the program. An exhibitor cannot apply to participate in the program until after the wether has been verified by the tagging committee at the breeder's farm. A member of the tagging committee will place an official ABW ear tag in the animal s ear when all the requirements have been met. 7. It is recommended that wethers be dehorned but that is not mandatory. However, wethers with horns must be blunt tipped to the size of a dime. 181
