Good Afternoon,
I am wanting to make sure that you are aware of a rule change, which was just made public, that will be going into effect for the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show, this is for the Junior Heifer Show only.
For the 2020 Fort Worth heifer show, the oldest heifer in the Junior Beef Heifer Show will be calved January 1, 2018.
This change makes all breed shows in the Junior Heifer Show consistent as to the oldest heifer. Several breeds, as designated by the breed association, had already established that date as the oldest class and several breeds were not entering any heifers in the older classes. With this change, they now all have the same oldest calved date. This allows for consistency among the breeds.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.
