As an animal exhibitor in the Chino Fair Livestock Program:

I believe my participation should demonstrate my own ability, knowledge, and skill. I understand the need to be responsible for developing the skills necessary to take my animal from the farm to the show ring. I understand that no adult may take responsibility for the washing, grooming, fitting, handling, and showing of my animal(s).

I will follow the competition rules, and will not use abusive, questionable, or unethical techniques in the feeding, caring, fitting, and showing of my animal(s). I will not resort to fraudulent, illegal, or deceptive practices while fitting or preparing the animal for show. I also will not allow my parents, supervisor/ leader, or any other adult or minor to employ such practices on my animal(s).

I have read and understand the rules and regulations found in the Contest Book. I have asked my parents and the supervisor/leader of my project not to break the rules or make exceptions on my behalf. I want my animal project to be an example of how to accept what life has to offer – good and bad - and how to live with the outcome.

I realize that I am responsible for:

•    The proper care and humane treatment of my animals.

•    The production of wholesome food if my exhibit animal is designated for market.

•    The development of sound moral character in myself.

Under penalty of perjury, we the undersigned certify that:

•    No unauthorized chemicals have been used which could cause the carcass to fail USDA and Food and Drug Administration Standards.

•    The withdrawal time required of any medication (*including medicated feed) fungicide or pesticide administered has been adhered to.

As the owner of this market animal, I acknowledge I will be responsible for my animal if it is rejected at the processing center due to the presence of drug residues.  If drug residue is detected I may be liable to the buyer for an amount equal to three (3) times the purchase price and may also be liable for Attorney’s Fees and Civil Penalties (Food and Agriculture Code Section 14363)

I understand and agree that when I, my parents, my supervisor or leader or any other adult or minor connected with my project  or  animal(s)  break  the  rules,  I  will  live  by  the  final  decision  of  the  Fair  Management  regarding  the disqualification of myself and or my animal, loss of premium awards, forfeiture of auction participation, loss of future eligibility, and forfeiture of any award(s).

I accept that these entries are subject to the rules and regulations as published in the official Contest Book. I agree to indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Chino Fair Association, its officers, directors, agents and employees from any and all claims and losses occurring or resulting to any and all persons, firm or corporation in connection with my participation in the fair or who may be injured or damaged as a result of my participation. I further declare that all statements made in connection with these entries are true. I certify that I made or produced all items listed.

By signing this code, I agree as an adult associated with this youth exhibitor project and animal(s) that I will encourage the exhibitor to comply with the rules. Further, that I will not take any action or assist others to violate the rules contained in the Contest Book governing the animal(s) entered by the exhibitor.
