RULES AND REGULATIONS:
1. All exhibitors must comply with the following CCIA (Canadian Cattle Identification Agency) Regulation 183(2) Subject to section (6), an animal may be removed from its farm or origin, without having an approved tag applied to it, to a community pasture, exhibition site, test station or veterinary clinic as per the Compliance and Enforcement Strategy. Animals that are being transported from their farm of origin to an approved community pasture, exhibition site, test station or to a veterinary clinic are also exempt from the requirements that they bear an approved tag. These animals may be transported back to their farm of origin from these sites without bearing an approved tag. The rationale for this exemption is that the animals are returning to their farm of origin. However, if an animal is not being returned to its farm of origin, it must be tagged before it leaves that site, or it may be shipped to an approved tagging site for tagging. It is important to emphasize that these few exemptions apply only to cattle and bison that have not yet permanently left their farm of origin. The focus of enforcement activities shall be directed at the owner of the animal at the time of the violation. Note: CCIA tags must not be removed from a live animal (subject to a $4000 fine).
2. Animal Registration: All entries must be registered in the name of the exhibitor in accordance with the by-laws of their respective association. The certificate of registration must state that the animal is purebred or at least 75% of purebred inheritance. All entries must be legibly tattooed (if applicable).

BEEF CATTLE RULES & REGULATIONS:
1. All exhibitors must comply with the following CCIA (Canadian Cattle Identification Agency) Regulation 183(2) Subject to section (6): An animal may be removed from its farm of origin, without having an approved tag applied to it, to a community pasture, exhibition site, test station or veterinary clinic as per the Compliance and Enforcement Strategy. Animals that are being transported from their farm of origin to an approved community pasture, exhibition site, test station or to a veterinary clinic are also exempt from the requirement that they bear an approved tag. These animals may be transported back to their farm of origin from these sites without bearing an approved tag. The rationale for this exemption is that the animals are returning to their farm of origin. However, if an animal is not being returned to its farm of origin, it must be tagged before it leaves that site, or it may be shipped to an approved tagging site for tagging. It is important to emphasize that these few exemptions apply only to cattle and bison that have not yet permanently left their farm of origin. The focus of enforcement activities shall be directed at the owner of the animal at the time of the violation. Note: CCIA tags must not be removed from a live animal (subject to a $4000 fine).

Agriculture Education Program
The Binbrook Agricultural Society in partnership with the TD Binbrook Branch are proud to sponsor the
AGRICULTURE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Friday September 13th for Grade 2 & 3 Classes
Chairperson: Michele Bain (905) 537-7584 or shadowbrook.bain@gmail.com
Committee: Jane Elliott: 905.692.9157 e: lenandjane@rogers.com
Melinda (Mel) Ramsay: 416.992.0999 e: melinda.ramsay@gmail.com
Attention Teachers
Our Agricultural Education Program is held annually on the opening Friday of the Binbrook Fall Fair, the second weekend after Labour Day. We have 2 sessions in which we bring in eight grades 2 or 3 classes. They rotate through eight 15 minute sessions. There is a limit of 25 students per class. The focus has always been to provide hands-on sessions to the students, which could never be brought to the classroom.
Seven of the sessions are focused on farm animals located at what we fondly call "Old MacDonald's Farm". We usually have dairy cows in a milking parlour, a beef cow and calf, sow and piglets, sheep and a week old lamb, horses, alpacas, chicks hatching in an incubator, and baby chicks that the children can hold however, the animals are the not the same every year. The eighth session is on Farm Machinery and is held just outside of the Old MacDonald's tent. In the event of rain the farm machinery segment is held under the tent using toy farm equipment as examples.
Bring your grade 2 or 3 class out to the country to see live animals and their young. Come to observe, pet and ask questions about the animals.
For full information about our award winning program and to download an application to bring your grade 2 or 3 class please visit our website at www.BinbrookFair.org.

O’Neil’s Farm Equipment Trophy, sponsored by Larry C. Smith, will be presented at the Annual Appreciation & Awards Night on Saturday November 9th, 2019.
