“Pick of the Herd” 28
2013-2014 “Pick of the Herds”
Gelbvieh Futurity Heifer Program
This program has been implemented to encourage the Jr. Members in promoting
Gelbvieh at various shows as well as to offer the Jr. Members a chance to receive
a payback for their efforts. This year the total jackpot is estimated at $ 2,500 to
be paid in the manner listed below.
To be eligible:
a.
All Open and bred heifers selling in the 2013 Kansas/Nebraska “Pick
of the Herds” Female sale are futurity eligible for the 2014 futurity jackpot. This
ruling on bred heifers selling will allow Jr. Members to show them as a cow/calf
pair with a bull or heifer calf at side. Regarding ¾ blood females, if shown as a
Balancer female in the spring show class, this female will show as Balancer in
the Futurity Class. Status needs to be determined at time of entry to the Kansas/
Nebraska Joint Spring Show. In order to be eligible to show all fees must be paid
in full prior to the spring show.
b.
The female must be titled in the Jr. Member’s name only and the Jr.
Member must be a member of either the Kansas Jr. Gelbvieh Association or
the Jr. GAIN Association. Memberships can be purchased at the time the spring
show entries are due. In following the AGJA rules, a Jr. Member needs to be
8 years old to show. If Jr. Member is unable to show, futurity animals must be
shown by an immediate family member in the futurity classes to be eligible for
the futurity money, and this immediate family member must be a Jr. Member.
c.
Futurity program year runs from the 2013 Kansas “Pick of the Herds”
Female Sale until the 2014 Kansas Jr. Spring Show Futurity show. Females sold
in this sale will only have one program year of eligibility. Anew group of females
will be sold at the next designated futurity sale for the next program year.
d.
All rules will be strictly enforced. Any questions or discrepancies that
arise will be settled by the KGA Board.
