The registration certificates (or photocopy) for each entry must be available for presentation to the Superintendent or Show Manager at the time entries are verified prior to judging. 2. The show management has the authority to require such tests as they deem necessary to verify the accuracy of the classification and pedigree of exhibited Brangus animals. Said authority shall extend to, and cover the enforcement of, all show rules as adopted by this show. 3. The registration number, permanent animal identification number (brand or tattoo), birth date and sire of each animal entered in an individual class must be listed on the entry form. 4. Animals eligible to be shown in group classes must be entered and shown in respective individual classes. 5.

Any animal found to have scurs and/or slick spots, or evidence of incisions, surgical or otherwise, in the following areas: head, testicles, sheath, navel or dewlap, will be disqualified from showing. Any animal upon check-in which does not have a legible tattoo or brand corresponding to its registration certificate is ineligible to show. Once disqualified due to incorrect or illegible tattoo/brand, animal cannot be re-tattooed and rechecked at the show. The brand/tattoo can be corrected and rechecked at the next available show. 7. Any Brangus animal recorded in the IBBA Registry that has a "Parentage Dispute" listed in its first three-generation pedigree is ineligible for participation in Brangus shows and exhibitions. If the dispute is resolved, the listing will be removed from the pedigree and show eligibility will be restored. SPECIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS 8. In this show, no animal may be shown that has been artificially filled with any amount of liquid at any time once the animal enters the grounds of a show. The fitter or ranch entity involved with an animal being artificially filled will be banned from the show ring for one year and the animal will be disqualified from exhibition at that particular show. The official show veterinarian may administer liquids orally, if so needed, without disqualifying animal(s) from exhibition. 9. No animal may be shown that has had any foreign objects glued to or otherwise attached in a manner so as to alter its conformation or change its appearance. Animals unethically fitted to alter the conformation or appearance of the animal will be disqualified. Tail ties and hair nets used on the tail and switch are the only exceptions. 10. All Brangus bulls 15 months of age or older that are exhibited at IBBA sponsored shows must have passed a fertility examination given by a licensed veterinarian to be eligible to show. The results of the examination should be sent to IBBA and will be kept on file. Once a bull has a positive examination on file with IBBA, retesting is not required. 11. Entries that have not complied with all the above rules will not be eligible to show or to receive premium monies. 12. All IBBA and IJBBA members will abide by the show rules as adopted. In addition, any show, fair, event or display in which Brangus cattle participate should follow these rules as adopted by IBBA.

Dental inspection: All entries may be classified for judging on an age basis and should be entered in class according to age. Teeth may be inspected by a veterinarian designated by the IBBA in order to determine whether dental development is within allowable limits for the class so entered. If the veterinarian determines that in his or her opinion dental development exceeds maximum allowable limits, the animal shall be moved to an older class as determined by the veterinarian and shall remain in that class until determined otherwise by subsequent mouthing or favorable appeal to the Executive Committee. If it is not possible to move an animal, the animal may not be exhibited in such show. 5. Any Exhibitor desiring to dispute or challenge the results of any such test, exam, or show rule enforcement, as applied to animals, shall do so in accordance with procedures established by the Rules of the IBBA. 6.

At selected shows and fairs, blood samples will be taken from all division champions and reserve division champions for the purpose of verifying parentage and DNA/blood type. Staff or representatives of IBBA will supervise the collection of blood samples which can be taken at shows, fairs and events where IBBA contributes premium money or where IBBA staff personnel participate. Cost of the DNA/blood typing procedure will be paid for by IBBA.
