Ethics Workshop - Florida State Fair Agriculture

Florida State Fair

ETHICS WORKSHOP

The Youth Livestock Show Ethics and Animal Care Workshop is designed to educate students on the mandatory procedures and requirements that will be in effect for the Florida State Fair. Certifications are valid for three (3) Fair seasons, not 3 calendar years.

The Florida State Fair, along with some County Fairs throughout the State of Florida, believes that every youth exhibitor should receive proper training and information for raising and showing a youth animal project. With this in mind, the Youth Livestock Show Ethics and Animal Care Training Program were developed.

We are continuously adding additional workshops to our calendar of events. Be sure to check back regularly for additional dates.

EXHIBITOR

REQUIREMENT

Many Fairs throughout the State are now requiring exhibitors to attend a training workshop. Check the rules, for the Fair you are attending, to see if it is required. This program has been endorsed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the University of Florida, Institute of Flood and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS). For the 2023/2024 Fair Season, Certification Numbers starting with 22, 23 and 24 are valid.

EDUCATIONAL

TRAINING WORKSHOP

It is important that the exhibitors understand the purpose of youth livestock projects and importance of ethics in youth livestock projects. Proper animal handling and management practices are the core of all successful livestock projects. This workshop also educates students on the difference between animal welfare and animal rights and to become an ambassador for animal agriculture.
