2 Welcome The Tunis Yearling Ewe Jackpot Show provides purebred Tunis breeders from across the country the opportunity to nominate bred and owned ewe lambs with the hope they will win the Jackpot Show in the following year. The show is an annual event held each year at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) in Louisville, Kentucky. Any purebred Tunis breeder can enter. The Goals of the Jackpot Show: Provide and additional showcase event of the Tunis breed Provide a monetary incentive to choose a Tunis ewe Increase interest in Tunis sheep Create a high value contest for purebred Tunis breeders Jackpot Show For a fee, Tunis breeders nominate ewe lambs they own and sustain entry fees for over a year, thereby making their Tunis yearling ewes eligible for participation in the Jackpot Show. Cash awards will be paid to the top 5 entries in the Jackpot Show. The total cash award to each place is dependent on breeder participation and vendor support. The Jackpot Show is a SEPARATE show from the youth and open shows at NAILE. Rules of Entry and Eligibility The event will be presented and managed by the NTSRI Show & Sale Committee. Ewe shall be born between the inclusive dates of September 1 and May 1 the year previous to the show. The four tooth rule applies and will be enforced.
