JUDGE: Tamara Taylor - Era, Texas

The South Florida Fair believes that every youth exhibitor should receive proper training and information for raising and showing a youth animal project. It is important that the exhibitor
understand: The purpose and importance of ethics in youth livestock projects, proper animal
handling and management and the difference between animal welfare and animal rights. The MANDATORY Youth Livestock Show Ethics and Animal Care Workshop is designed to certify students to meet these requirements. Certification is valid for a 3 year period if taken in 2006. This program has been endosed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the University of Florida, IFAS. Click here for more information
