ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ
Again in 2009, year-end award totals will be
calculated using only the highest 12 point
entries (shows) per exhibitor per division.
For example, if a member shows in a breed at 14
shows, only the 12 shows with the highest points
will be used for award purposes. The only contest that will still be decided
using all points from all shows is the Overall
High Point - Jason Bertschy Memorial Award.
Points will still be collected, calculated and
posted the same way throughout the show season.
However, when points are totaled at the end of
the year we will use the highest 12 point
entries in each breed and showmanship division
for each individual (if you show in more than
one breed your 12 high point shows could be
different for each breed). We still
encourage each exhibitor to go to as many shows
as possible.
There is a new point structure this year.
You can view that in the Information section of
the website or by clicking here. Also note
that exhibitors will only receive points for one
animal within any breed or division. With
this change came the addition of a bull
category. Now if you have an Angus heifer
and bull, you will be eligible to receive two
awards instead of one as you have in the past.
Awards for bulls will be given in the same
manner as commercial heifers are. There
will be divisions for American, English and
Exotics.
Other award changes include the addition of the
High Point Heifer Exhibitor Award, the High
Point Bull Exhibitor Award and the High Point
Commercial Heifer Award. For the High
Point Heifer Exhibitor, it will include your
heifer points from a minimum of two breeds and a
maximum of three breeds. The High Point
Bull Exhibitor and High Point Commercial Heifer
Exhibitor awards will include your points from a
minimum of two divisions and a maximum of three
divisions for each of the awards. The
Overall Commerical Heifer and Overall Breeding
Beef awards have been eliminated.
