2023 Large Livestock Exhibitor Guide

1. Member, veterinarian, species leader or Livestock Coordinator representative must administer all pharmaceuticals. 2. ALL PHARMACEUTICALS administered to livestock at the fair must be approved by show management prior to use. Exhibitors are required to submit a completed Livestock Medical Form to the Livestock Office to obtain this approval. Failure to do so could result in disqualification of exhibit or other appropriate discipline. 3. Any vet expenses occurring during fair time are the responsibility of the exhibitor. The Fair reserves the right to perform a postmortem exam of any animal that dies at the fair, at the exhibitor’s expense. 4. If there is an indication of any unhealthy animals at the Fair, such animals, herds, or flocks will be removed immediately and will not receive cash awards, if awarded. 5. To eliminate delay in treatment of a sick or ailing animal, the owner extends authority to take such action as deemed expedient and necessary by the Fair Management, when and after diligent attempt have been made to contact the owner or agent of said exhibit. Fair Management has Power of Attorney for the exhibitor in this instance and by virtue of entry into competition; the Alameda County Fair Association will not assume any cost for action taken pursuant to this rule. 6. Drenching of animals is NOT allowed unless medically necessary and must be performed by official fair veterinarian.

7. Only sheep purchased from scrapie compliant breeders, and meeting state- mandated identification requirements, are allowed on fairgrounds. See State Rules.
