[QUOTE="showmomof2, post: 444195, member: 6546"] When you are registering a % breed in a show(district fair for us), how do you place her and who's responsibility is it to see that she is in the right class? Also, when entering is there usually instructions on how this will be handled? The reason I am asking is because we had a problem with one of our calves this weekend. There was no category for low percentage simmentals, so because we had simmental papers on her we entered her in the simmental show. The breed superintendant didn't check the papers. Then when my daughter showed her she won Grand Champion Simmental Heifer in the Jr division and Reserve Grand in the open division. Then people got wind that she wasn't a higher percentage or purebred and started throwing fits. To make a long story short, they "created a new class" for her after the fact (simmsolution) and made her grand over that. How could I have handled this when registering her for this show? This is our first year showing breeding stock and our 2nd year showing. We have overheard people referring to her as a "counterfit heifer" and gotten the dirtiest looks from the people that she beat. We want to be correct in how we enter our animals in the fair but we want to be t reated fair also. I was actually afraid they were going to keep her out of the championship drive, but thankfully they didn't. Also, some of the comments by the breed superintendents was that these breed registries were so desperate for money that they would register anything and that these club calves were bred to do well in the show ring and that is why they won? Any opinions on this welcome, but please keep it nice. I am already stirred up enough as it is. [/QUOTE]
