Spring Major Show Entries

Sent, 

Good morning 4-Hers,

It is that time of year again, time to get entered for Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, San Angelo, and Austin.  The work sheets have been placed in the Google folder; the access link is below.  However, as of right now Austin has not posted their worksheets yet, so please be sure to keep checking back for those.

You are more than welcome to bring your entries to the office at any time between now and November 5th.  We will be having an entry night November 5th from 5pm – 7pm here at the Extension Office.  ALL ENTRIES FOR ALL SHOWS ARE DUE AT THIS TIME!!  PLEASE BE SURE TO ADHERE TO THIS DEADLINE!!  There is a lot of backend work that will take place to finalize your entries at these shows and that takes time to be able to meet MY deadline for entries.

Judging Contests

If you are interested in entering a judging contest for Fort Worth, there is a separate folder within the Fort Worth tab for contests.

Houston contests, are all to be done through Judging Card.  There is a PDF entry form that we will need filled out for each team/each contest.  For example, if there are 2 Vet science teams (junior and senior) we need one each with all names listed. – Entry fee for the contests will also be due at the time the entry form is turned into the office.

2025 Major Stock Show Worksheets

Also, please remember that there is a $5 processing fee for each exhibitor per show they attend.  Be sure to add this to your total. 

If you have any questions, please be sure to reach out!
