RULES, REGULATIONS AND INFORMATION
Jr. Show Exhibitors : Exhibitors must be six (6) years of age on January 1 of this year and have not reached their 21st birthday on January 1 of this year. THE PUREBRED DAIRY CATTLE ASSOCIATION SHOW RING CODES OF ETHICS The showing of registered dairy cattle is an important part of the promotion, merchandising and breeding program of many breeders. Additionally, it is an important part of the program of the various dairy breed associations to stimulate and sustain interest in breeding registered dairy cattle. This relates to both spectators and exhibitors. In this connection, the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association believes that it is in the best interest of the breeders of registered dairy cattle to maintain a reputation of integrity and to present a wholesome and progressive image of their cattle in the show ring. PDCA endorses this code of ethics in all breed shows and will give full cooperative support to the judges and the respective national breed associations to keep show procedures within these guidelines. It is recognized that there are certain practices in the proper care and management of dairy cattle that are necessary in the course of moving dairy cattle to and between shows that are advisable to keep them in a sound, healthy state so they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal condition. Conversely, the following practices or procedures are considered unacceptable in the showing of cattle: (1) Misrepresenting the age and/or milk status of the animal for class in which it is shown. (2) Treating the animal, particularly the udder, internally or externally, with an irritant or counter-irritant, or other substance to artificially improve the conformation. (3) Surgery or insertion of foreign matter under the skin or into body cavities, performed to change the natural contour or appearance of the animal's body, though not to preclude practices required or involved in normal management. (4) Criticizing or interfering with the judge, show management or other exhibitors while in the show ring, or other conduct detrimental to the breed or the show.
