Statewide Heifer Validation Program. This will effect

any 4-H or FFA member wanting to show a heifer at

a Major Livestock Show! You will have to pay $10

tion for the spring 2015 major livestock shows. Here

are a few important points to keep in mind that de-

scribe the purpose of this program:

LivestockNews

Ensures ownership by the exhibitor by the ap-

propriate date with appropriate documentation

Eliminates backdating of junior heifer ownership

Improves the efficiency of check-in process at

major shows

July 1, 2015 – Ownership deadline

If you have any questions regarding this, please
