New for 2023!
- Bred & Owned Market Steer Class: If exhibitor owned and had in their possession the mother of their market steer by March 25, 2021, they qualify for this class. Youth will be asked on their registration and entry form if the animal is bred and owned on their farm. Exhibitors may NOT use a back-up for this class but must show the same steer as they do in the regular market steer class. The Bred and Owned class takes place at the end of the market show. All steers in the class show together, regardless of weight.
- Market Heifer Class: This is a separate division that will take place during the Tuesday market beef show. Youth will be allowed to exhibit a market steer OR a market heifer at the fair (ONE TOTAL market beef animal). Separate classes will be created if numbers warrant, but only one division champion/reserve champion will be selected. The market heifer division champion/reserve champion will compete for overall market beef grand/reserve champion.
