7 JUNIOR ANGUS SHOW SPECIAL INFORMATION THE AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION, 3201 Frederick Avenue, St. Joseph, MO. will participate in premiums offered in individual classes for Junior Angus heifers, bred and owned heifers, bred and owned bulls, cow/calf pairs and registered Angus Steers as included in its standard show classifications, according to the premium schedule based on the number of head shown. The Association contributions will be included in the premium checks issued by the show. A minimum of fifteen (15) head must be shown in the Junior Angus classes to receive American Angus Association premium participation. The show is not required to have all classes to be eligible for premiums. Separate classes for bred and owned heifers may be held if the size of the show merits a separate class. Only bred and owned bulls may be counted in the numbers report for premium participation. To be eligible for Association premiums, the entries must be recorded in the sole name of the Junior exhibitor and the issue date on the registration certificate must conform to the individual show s requirements regarding ownership. The Association s contribution is included in the total premiums listed in each class. The animals must be judged by the American system of judging (they must be placed numerically and the ribbons and premiums awarded in the same manner.) The American Angus Association does not offer financial assistance or awards on any show judged under the Danish or group system of judging. Premiums from the Association are paid only to registered Angus cattle and only if the registration number is a part of the show report provided to the Association. Therefore, all cattle should be registered at the time of entry to make certain they receive the Association s portion of premiums. The Association does not pay a percentage on premiums offered in championship classes. An animal may be counted one time toward the total count for premium participation by the Association. Exhibitors must have the original registration certificate on each animal available for inspection at the show. Any animal, upon check-in, which does not have a legible tattoo corresponding to its registration certificate, is ineligible to show. Once disqualified due to an incorrect or illegible tattoo, animals cannot be re-tattooed and rechecked at the show. Any female shown with calf at side, calf must be the cow s most recent natural calf and the calf must be registered by show date and have the original registration certificate at check in. Only one person at a time shall lead animals into the show ring. Any product administered internally or used externally to alter the conformation and/or appearance of an animal for exhibition is prohibited. This includes the covering of white skin, false tail heads (or use of any false hair), use of graphite, powders, hemp or other similar substances externally and steroids, growth stimulants or artificial filling internally. Any animal found to be in violation will be barred from showing. The exhibition of cattle displaying false hair will not be allowed, with the exception of false tail switches. For an exhibitor to be eligible at shows for premium monies contributed by the American Angus Association, each exhibitor is subject to Part 3, Section IX of the Association s rules entitled Eligibility Conformation and Structure of Animals Presented for Exhibition. Included in this is rule 11: Effective July 1, 2004, at any show for which the American Angus Association appropriates funds toward the payment of premiums, no exhibitors, and individuals assisting exhibitors or member owners at such show be allowed to use any coloring agents, on any animal exhibited. The Association may adopt and implement various tests designed to monitor this prohibition, including but not limited to a white towel or white glove test. No aerosol cans or other pressurized containers will be allowed in designated make up areas. DNA MARKER OR BLOOD TYPE FOR PARENTAGE VERIFICATION -- Under the Association Rules, each animal for which entry application (registration) is received, may be subjected to a DNA marker type or blood type test to verify ACCURACY OF PARENTAGE as covered under Association Rules. Staff of the American Angus Association must supervise the collection of DNA or blood samples. Animals are often sampled at shows, fairs, or events where the American Angus Association contributes premiums or where Association personnel participate. If a recorded parent is excluded (as a parent) as a result of DNA or blood type, the owner may request, at his own expense, the Association to determine the actual parent. Failure to determine the sire and dam disqualifies the animal s eligibility in the Angus Herd Book, and the registration certificate becomes null and void.
