About this Event
- Only heifers that have not already been validated for major shows, or that have changed ownership will be required to validate. Once validated, the heifer is eligible until the end of her show career and DOES NOT need to attend major show validation again UNLESS she changes breed or ownership.
- Refunds will not be given
- Ordering DOES NOT enter a participant into any show.
Major Show Information
Before you start applying for Major Shows you’ll need to complete the Quality Counts process. All major show entries must include a Quality Counts Verification Number. Members can go straight to the test or review the information in the Texas Trails tutorial. Once you make and 80% or better you will be assigned a verification number; keep this number (an option to print a certificate will be given), it will be needed to complete your major show entry forms. Each member showing needs their own verification number.
Entry deadlines and information for the state-wide project opportunities are available through the Brazoria County 4-H calendar, newsletters and information supplied to local 4-H clubs. In addition to project exhibition opportunities, many of these shows offer “calf scramble” programs that 4-H members participate in and enjoy.
