3. All Shorthorns and polled Shorthorns are subject to a tattoo inspection by representatives of the ASA.
4. Family bred and raised animals entered by juniors in junior classes and subsequently entered in Open classes may be treated as family entries in group classes.
5. Senior/Junior Yearling Pregnancy Rule for exhibitors at all Open shows: Any senior/junior yearling female 28 months of age or older on or before the date of the show must have a natural calf at side and must be shown with such. All females 20 months of age or older on or before the date of the show must have a 60 day pregnancy verification signed by an accredited, non-owner veterinarian at the time the female is processed for the show. If verification cannot be produced, the female may be allowed to participate if the exhibitor can produce a qualified veterinarian to examine the female at the show site, and verify a 60-day pregnancy. Any infractions against this rule will lead to disqualification
