SPECIAL ATTENTION IS CALLED TO THE GENERAL RULES GOVERNING THE EXHIBIT OF LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY IN THIS DIVISION. All rules, regulations, premium offerings, etc., appearing in this catalog are subject to correction in event of any printing errors that would tend to change the meaning or intent. AMERICAN BRAHMAN BREEDERS ASSOCIATION SPECIAL RULES 1. Animals must be registered in the American Brahman Breeders Association to be eligible to compete in association sponsored shows. The registration certificates (or photocopy) for each entry must be available for presentation to the superintendent or manager of the show at the time entries are verified prior to judging. 2. The registration number and animal identification number (number branded on animal) of (1) each animal must be entered in an individual class, (2) the sire of each get-of-sire entry and (3) the dam of each produce-of-dam entry must be listed on the entry card of each animal entered. 3. Entries that have not complied with rules one (1) and two (2) will not be eligible to show, receive premium monies or earn points in the association's Register of Renown. 4. Animals to be eligible to be shown in group classes must be entered and shown in individual classes. 5. Entries will be listed numerically according to age (oldest first) in catalogs and judging schedules. Include animal identification number (number brand) as a part of identification. When entering the arena for judging, the handlers will line cattle up numerically in the same order. 6. Judges will be allowed to comment on placing in selected classes when conditions permit. 7. Each animal will be presented in the show ring in its natural conformation and structure without alteration or modification. Alteration or modification shall be defined to include any surgical or
circulatory constriction including banding or other appearance change, save only branding, tattooing, foot trimming or dehorning. Silicone or other injections for cosmetic purposes shall be prohibited. If to the satisfaction of the ABBA's staff, officers, executive committee or board of directors any animal has had its natural conformation and structure altered; then said animal shall be ruled ineligible to compete until such time the executive committee and owner/owners have reviewed the case. 8. In cases where families, companies, corporations, etc., are operated as a unit under the same management but have cattle also registered in the name of individual partners, said cattle, even though bearing a different ownership brand, are eligible to be shown in competition under the firm name provided they have not been and will not be shown in the name of the individuals. 9. For females being shown in the three oldest classes (females calved Sept. 1, 2015 - Aug. 31, 2017 for Fall Shows; exhibitor must have a certificate of pregnancy issued by a licensed veterinarian to be presented to show officials at time of check-in or registration paper check. The show reserves the right to perform pregnancy determination by palpation for females in the above classes at any given ABBA approved show if an official protest has been filed. Females exhibited in the last two classes at the Spring Shows MUST have a calf at side. For Fall Shows only the last class of females is required to have a calf at side. The only exemption from this rule will be cows that have already weaned a calf and a registration certificate of the calf MUST be presented to the judge. 10. All bulls will be shown with a nose ring or nose restraint with lead attached. For bulls being shown in the oldest class, the exhibitor must have a certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian stating the bull has produced viable semen. The certificate must be available for inspection by the judge on request. 11. This deals with the produce-of-dam classes and the get-of-sire class. 12. Embryo Produce of Dam — two animals from the above classes produced by one dam by embryo transfer, either or both sexes may be represented. No ownership requirement. 13. Natural Produce of Dam — two natural born animals produced by one dam from the above classes, either or both sexes may be represented. No ownership requirement. 14. Get-of-Sire — four animals from at least two dams by one sire from the above individual classes, both sexes represented. No ownership requirement. 15. No exhibitor shall be permitted to show more than one produce or embryo-produce of dam per dam. 16. Cows that are exhibited with calves at side must be in a lactating stage. Calves must be shown and exhibited with their dams and said calves must not exceed 240 days of age on the day of judging. The judge will be made aware by the ring steward of those cows whose calves are ineligible to show by this rule. 17. Cattle will not be allowed to show if their switches have been balled or glitter applied to their skin. 18. [The intent of the ABBA in shows that exhibit a large number of cattle is to divide the cattle into separate red and grey divisions. {Revised 10/13/05}] If so, the following procedure will apply. All grey cattle and solid black cattle will show grey. Red,
black & white speckled or red & white speckled cattle will show red. Cattle with questionable colored pigmentation may be entered in the color division the breeder selects, however, said cattle are subject to inspection by a three (3) member ABBA committee. If the Color Committee disagrees with the breeder, the pedigree and color of said animal will then be used to aid in the final determination. In those cases where questionable colored cattle possess both red and grey breeding, then the committee will make the final determination. The decision of the committee is final. 19. In the get-of-sire and produce-of-dam classes, breeders will be allowed to show cattle of varying color. They will be entered as to the color division of the sire in case of get-of-sire and dam in case of produce-of-dam. In other words, if a get is mixed red and grey and the sire was red; then the get will be entered in the red division show. 20. The owner of record of any registered animal entered in an ABBA approved show and/or his/her agent, exhibitor, fitter, handler and/or representative releases ABBA and its representatives from any and all liability that seller/owner might claim as a result of injury of any kind sustained before, during, or after handling cattle for any ABBA board approved activity. 21. For shows to remain approved, point shows by ABBA they must maintain a 40 head average for the previous two years. 22. The official ABBA rules and procedures governing showing & exhibiting of registered Brahman cattle supercede any rules printed in any show catalog. FEMALES 001.
