The difference between animal welfare and animal rights
How to become an ambassador for animal agriculture
Promote and sell animals to prospective buyers in the Livestock Market Auction

ALL Youth Exhibitors WHO ARE ENTERED IN THE 2024 SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR YOUTH SHOWS MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE ETHICS TRAINING WORKSHOP OR HAVE A CURRENT ETHICS NUMBER BEFORE January 1 TO SHOW AN ANIMAL AT THE 2024 SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR.

**NOTE: While most Florida fairs have adopted this ethics program, the rules governing the exhibitors differ from fair to fair. It is the exhibitors' responsibility to make sure they are in compliance with EACH particular fair where they are showing an animal.
