Rules for the show:
1. Deadline for ownership of animals in the
Junior Show will be June 1, 2014 with the exception of a purchase of a sheep at
Sedalia. Ownership must be in the young person(s’) name. Youth partnerships are okay as long as
everyone listed is a youth and no adult names are mixed in. The partnership is considered one exhibitor
when it comes to group classes and number of entries in single classes though
everyone in the partnership can participate in showmanship classes. If animals are in a partnership, you must
designate on the entry form who is actually showing each animal.
2. Age limit for young people entering the
Junior Show will be 21 years old or younger as of January 1. The same age limit applies to show ring
helpers as well. Junior exhibitors must
be present to show their own Junior entries unless physically impaired. If two or more are entered in the same class,
another junior must show one of them.
Junior owners must be in control of the head of at least one of their
animals in the class. Any exceptions
must be in writing and approved by the Show Committee by 8:00 a.m. the day of
the show.
3. Short fleece is recommended in the fitted
class.
4. The judge has the responsibility of determining
over aged-lambs.
6. Sheep entering the show ring on show day will
have their flock identification checked by show officials to correspond with
official show records.
For
those of you showing futurity ewes, please make sure you bring your
point record form with you for us to sign.
Those ewes must be registered in the individual name only of the person
showing them. Futurity entrant may earn
premiums on no more than two ewe lambs.
Total points earned by two ewe lambs cannot be combined. Each ewe must bear the proper identification
which corresponds to the registration certificate. A junior exhibitor can participate with one
entry in the yearling ewe division.
No
refunds will be made once entries are received.
It
is our goal to have an outstanding show for all exhibitors. We hope to be able to pay premiums deep in
each class. If you have any questions or
comments, please feel free to contact either of us. We look forward to receiving your entries and
seeing you at the show!
Sincerely,
Kristin
