Early Bird Discount Nears – Postmark by Monday

Don’t miss the early bird discount for the 2009 Hardee Preview Show, December 11 -12 in Wauchula, Florida.  Entries must be postmarked by Monday, November 30th in order to receive the discount of $10 a head.  Showmanship fees will remain $10 even after the early bird registration deadline. Check in is being held both days.  The Hardee County Preview Show is an event that the whole family can participate in.  Starting with the free clinic on Friday the show provides an excellent opportunity for exhibitors to prepare for their local county fair and the State Fair.  The Friday and Saturday event features five divisions including a steer division. 

All of the top prizes are sponsored and 100% entry fees are paid out in the divisions and showmanship as prize money.  “We are very pleased to have Mark Duffell, Managing partner of Whitestone Farm, in Aldie, Va. on hand to judge the show for us this year.  Starting with Friday night he will judge the showmanship competition.  In this show participants will get to help their younger brother or sister show and give their parents pointers in Adult showmanship,” said Nell McCauley of Peace River Electric Cooperative.    Every participant in the show will receive a Hardee County Preview Show Shirt and will walk out of the ring with more experience and at least a ribbon.

In addition to the cattle show, a free dinner and grooming clinic will be offered on Friday night. 

Purebred will be shown by age, steers and commercial heifers shown by weight.

Just in...

We have enough Angus for a Breed Show.... Division 3A .... And we almost have enough Brangus for a Breed Show which would become 1A.

Both of these would join in the running for Supreme Grand Champion and Reserve Supreme Grand Champion Heifer and Bull! 

They are still doing this as well....

The entries for the PRECO Preview Show are due and to avoid a late fee, if you'd fax your entry to 866-599-2995 or drop it in the PRECO drive-in window before Friday, the late fee will be waived.  Please send your check in the mail as soon as you fax the entry, or include it when you drop it off at the PRECO office, so we can get it processed.  We're looking forward to the show and it'll be a good weekend.
