[QUOTE="showmomof2, post: 444310, member: 6546"] Wrong district fair-we are in the northwestern district and their rules aren't spelled out like that. It just lists the major breeds and says nothing of composites. They just seem to copy the same book year after year. I would have loved to see that sort of breakdown-it would have prevented all of this! As far as I know there isn't a website for this fair-it is in Boone County, Arkansas. If I could post her papers I would. They are simmental papers, a little ways down it lists breakdown of breeds in her and next to that it has simangus. I wish I could see my original entry form for breed. I am thinking I put simangus by the breed but it has been awhile ago and I can't remember. Here is the way the rules are listed in the book. Beef cattle-registered 1.Animals entered in the breeding classes must be registered in the exhibitors name. 2.Registration certificates must be available for inspection at the show and ear tattoos will be verified prior to showing. 3.No exhibitor will enter more than 2 entries per class. 4.All breeding beef must be owned by the exhibitor by July 15 of the current year. 5.All animals entered in the breeding classes are subject to mouthing. Animals found to be over age for it's class will be banned from show. Then it lists the breeds: angus, hereford, limousin, simmental, shorthorn, brangus, any recognized breed. I just assumed any recognized breed would be major breeds not listed-like charolais, gelbvieh, etc. Thank you for all of your view points. We are new at this and thank goodness she was the only heifer we had problems with. Come to think of it, our maine was 75% and no one questioned her-she didnt' win best of breed. We did explain to the superintendents that it was an honest mistake on our part and the simmental superintendant said that he should have checked papers. makes me wonder if there were any more or if the others being shown were actually registered. Tatoos weren't even verified. Is this common or is our district fair behind times? I have a picture of her posted under "county fair reserve champion" further down this page - it was taken a couple of weeks ago. Tell me what you think. Thanks [/QUOTE]
