Cow Calf Classes

[CKC1586]

I am curious as to how different events handle their cow/calf classes.
Do most categorize them as a "group class", or a class of it's own? The World Beef Expo in Wisconsin does a weird thing with theirs. It seems to be a "stand alone" class and they require an additional entry fee for it. So if you are entering lets say 5 animals in their show and each animal will be shown in it's individual class and if you want to show in the cow/calf class you have to pay an additional entry fee. Are they just trying to get more money?? None of the other shows we attend do their classes in this way.

Most shows consider the cow calf pair as an individual class not a group class. Yes the entry fee is the same.

So the cow and calf are shown in their individual classes then as a pair? You pay twice for the same cow to enter the pair class??

At our shows the calf can show in its own age class and then can be shown with in the cow/ calf class.

In Simmentals it's a separate class, with a separate fee. If you show the cow or the calf separately, you pay for that class also.
