Cattle entered must be registered in the Herd Book of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Entries with registrations pending or illegible tattoos, or improper tattoos as shown on the registration certificate at check-in time are ineligible for competition. Exhibitors are subject to the Association s special rule on class qualification. Entries in these classes are accepted with the understanding that the exhibitor agree to abide by the rule in all respects. 2. The exhibition of cattle displaying false hair will not be allowed. 3.

ALL GENERAL AND BEEF RULES/POLICIES APPLY. ADDITIONAL TEXAS LONGHORN RULES AND REGULATIONS: Classes are open to all Texas Longhorn registered animals. All rules of the International Texas Longhorn Association apply. The ITLA s Standard Rule Book customarily splits yearling and two-year-old bull and heifer classes into multiple sections. Due to space limitations and the average birth dates of previous entrants, these classes have been combined and run concurrent. However, the 2017 CTLA Show Committee may choose to split the 2015 and 2016 combined classes into multiple classes, if there are sufficient entries (two or more animals) to justify the additional class and allow younger animals to compete with animals within their own age bracket. Any split in the published class schedule will be made in accordance with the ITLA s published Standard approved Class Schedule. To qualify 2016 bull and heifer calves for the National ITLA World Show, calves have to be 180 days old on the day of the Regional High Point Legacy Show. The OSF CTLA Show Committee will accept all 2017 weanling entries; however, younger calves competing will NOT qualify for ITLA Merit Points. Rules that apply to the ITLA Legacy Open Show also apply to the Youth Show. When questions arise concerning items not covered by the rules as stated in the ITLA Standardized Rule Book, the CTLA Show Committee will make the decision and their decision will be binding. CTLA Show Committee contacts: A. C. Hutchinson, Beavercreek, OR; Dayton Preble, Beavercreek, OR; Cindie Boyle, Harrisburg, OR; Cindy Schweiger, Estacada, OR. www.cascadetexaslonghornassociation.com Cow/Calf pairs will show together and any female over the age of 30 months must either have a calf at side or have a veterinarian s health certificate to certify that the cow is safe with calf.
