It is our intent to provide an activity that prepares youth for many of their upcoming national junior beef breed shows through exhibiting cattle and participating in the various skills contests. We also hope that it is a great opportunity for those youth that will not be able to attend a Junior National, to experience it here in Michigan. Junior exhibitors must show their own animal unless species chairpersons grant special permission. In the event that a substitute showperson is approved, the substitute showperson must be a registered exhibitor in this show. Proper identification of junior exhibitor may be required, at the discretion of the show committee. General Rules 1.
