Show
Rules and Schedule
February 29, 2008
Limited
early stalling is available in the West Wing
(designated areas only) after 8:00 a.m. Friday. No tack, grooming chutes
or butt fans are allowed in the early stalling sections. Stalls will be
on a first come, first serve basis. No reserve space will be honored by
show management. Check livestock office for available area before
stalling. When early stalling is full, no more junior cattle will be
permitted in the barn until Saturday, March 1, at 1:00 p.m. After expo sale cattle
have sold and vacated, junior exhibitors will have access to the entire West
Wing. Chutes, tack, fans, etc… can be used in the barn.
These regulations are necessary to
accommodate as many early arrivals as possible because of the likelihood of
inclement weather in early March and as not to interfere with Beef Expo Sale
cattle. These rules will be enforced.
