Junior Breeding Beef Heifer Show classification Texas Majors

[crystalcreek]

My question is predominantly geared to the Houston Livestock Show (HLSR), but I also want to know if it is different at the different Texas majors.  I printed the whole 308 page handbook and cannot find the answer anywhere.  For Supreme Champion Heifer drive, there are three divisions--American, British, Continental.  Here are the breeds, where do they all fit?

Angus
Beefmaster
Brangus
Charolais
Chianina (greater than 6.25%)
Grey Brahman
Hereford
Limousin
Maine-Anjou
Polled Hereford
Red Angus
Red Brahman
Red Brangus
Santa Gertrudis
Shorthorn
Simbrah
Simmental
ARB American Registered Breeds
ORB Other Registered Breeds (includes percentage Charolais and less than 6.25% Chianinia, as well as Shorhorn Plus, some Red Angus including "Category 1B and Category II), MaineTainer (25-62.5% Maine), Percentage Limousin & Lim-Flex, etc)

The ORB category seems to have a mix of traditionally "Continental" and "British" and doesn't Fort Worth classify these differently?

Thanks in advance.

No ft worth will have a category 1 angus show with the club calves in the aob show they're exotic even if there half black half red

Arb brahman (grey and red) Santagert  simbrah Brangus(both red and black) beefmaster will compete in the Americans

Herf (polled and horned) angus (red and black) and shorthorn compete british

All the others are exotics

 

[sj0515]

British are Angus, Herefords, Polled Herefords, Red Angus and Shorthorn

Americans are Beefmaster, Brangus, Grey Brahmans, Red Brahmans, Red Brangus, Santa Gertudis, Simbrah and ARB

Continental (Exotics) are Charolais, Chi, Limousin, Maine-Anjou, Simmental and ORB

Most all of the cattle are broken down by where the cattle originally came from.
Hope this helps.

I would also like clarification on this too. I see the same thing. The same kids showing across multiple breeds but our CEA said we can only have one heifer per exhibiter for Texas majors. Obviously you can only enter one in each show but we were told we could only validate the one. What if something happens to it or it doesn't grow well or breeding doesn't take, lots of things could go wrong that could leave a young person that's been working really hard in a very bad spot.

You are allowed to validate multiple heifers and multiple breeds per exhibitor. We currently have four head in two breeds that my daughter could show. I reread the rules and all it states is that each heifer may only be registered to one exhibitor. They do not allow heifers to be registered as partnered ownership, it must be fully owned by the junior exhibitor. Example if a family had to kids showing they could not have the papers in both of their names.

What Show Stopper 95 is describing is the steer classifications not heifers.

I pulled up the HLSR handbook last night and it's not very specific on the validation of heifers just making a substitution. It reads to me like you can validate one and you have to scratch that one to replace it with a sub. Our heifer last year was a scramble project so that is all we have to go by and our CEA saying we could only do the one heifer per junior exhibitor.

When validating heifers you can validate as many across as many breeds as you want. When entering for majors most shows excluding San Angelo limits you to 1 head per exhibitor to be shown with the option of sending in another set of papers on a separate heifer to substitute should something happen or the other look better than the original entry. As far as NAILE is concerned, they do not limit junior exhibitors to number of head they are eligible to show which allows those kids to have numerous breed champions.

Nope it's heifers pal

We validated 4 heifers entered all 4 at the shows

We will decide who goes the day before the show, you can only exhibit and take one but validate and enter as many as you want

You said excluding San Angelo, does that mean San Angelo is a Texas show that allows more than one entry?  Thx

I believe you can take 2 to Angelo
