[QUOTE="Third Row, post: 444236, member: 3823"] Can you post the exact wording of the rule book? Virtually all crossbred heifers are going to end up in an AOB class unless there is a special class for them like Maintainer, Appendix Shorthorn, SimAngus, etc. There are a lot of big shows (I would almost say most majors in the South) where you wouldn’t have even been able to show her because she’s not a purebred. Based on your explanation, you are at fault for not entering her in the right class, the author of the rule book is at fault for not being clearer regarding the rules, and the person checking the papers is at fault for not actually checking the papers. It sounds like an innocent mistake the just sort of blew up. Enter her in an AOB class where she belongs and compete with the other composites. Based on you calling her a composite, I assume she’s not a SimAngus so there isn’t really a Simmi class for her in most shows. They're right. If you care about what your competitors think, go to them and personally explain the situation and apologize for not being aware of the rules of the breed. Tell them you’ll pay closer attention to it in the future. If you don’t track them down and explain it, they aren’t going to come to you for an explanation; they’ll make one up and spread it behind your back. [/QUOTE]
