BREEDING HEIFERS
All breeding heifers will have their tattoos and IDs checked on entry day of fair along with market beef unless the entry/entries are spring heifer calves born after January 1 of the current year. Spring-born heifers may be checked in with the feeder calves on their entry day and timetable. Any heifer not having a legible tattoo or showing evidence of a fresh or recent tattoo will be disqualified from the show. A fresh or recent tattoo is one that shows physical evidence of needle penetration of the skin that has not had time to properly heal (i.e., significant redness, scabbing, or bleeding). A fresh or recent tattoo may also be indicated by presence of ink within the ear that wipes onto a clean cloth upon tattoo inspection. To be eligible to show in a registered class, the heifer must have a corresponding tattoo and registration papers by June15. If heifers need to be re-tattooed after June 15, contact the Extension Office for specific instructions. A calfhood vaccination tattoo is not considered an official identification tattoo. Original registration certificates or papers for Angus, Balancer, Composite Charolais, Charolais, Chianina, Gelbvieh, Hereford and Polled Hereford, LimFlex, Limousin, Maine Anjou, Mainetainer, Piedmontese, Red Angus, Shorthorn, Shorthorn Plus, Foundation Simmental, Simmental and heifers of other breeds that will show in the All Other Breeds (AOB) class must be presented at the check-in chute when the heifers are led through for checking tattoos, IDs and entry papers. Only breeding heifers recognized as registered and eligible to show by their respective state Breed Associations will be allowed to compete in the breed classes. Buffalo County reserves the right to determine eligibility of all registered breeding heifers entered in the show.
Note: Exhibitors can speed up the check-in process by cleaning out the ear and being sure there is a readable tattoo before they come to the check-in chute. Exhibitor cooperation is greatly appreciated.
