Junior Cattle Check-in
Friday, Feb 15th 8:30 AM
to 12:30 PM
ALL junior cattle, purebred and crossbreds will be checked in Friday, Feb 15th beginning at 8:30 A.M. in the Livestock Pavilion. Check- in will close at 12:30 P.M. Purebred steers and heifers must bring their registration papers as well as health papers with them at the time of check-in. Commercial heifers and all steers will be weighed for class breaks.
STALLING BY COUNTY
Juniors will be stalled by county at the 2008 Iowa Beef Expo. Be sure to mark on the entry form what county you are from. Counties will be randomly assigned an
appropriate number of stalls based on the number of entries received. Exhibitors from each county will be responsible for working out their own stalling arrangement within their assigned stalls. Due to the large number of cattle exhibited at the Expo Junior Show, exhibitors must be willing to accept the fact that space is limited and cooperation must take place in order to make things work for everyone.
Exhibitors are allowed to bring divider panels, but please remember when setting up they should be placed half way between two rings NOT flush with the next ring because that leaves no room for the animal that must be tied to the ring next to the panel.
Junior cattle WILL NOT be allowed in the barn until the barn manager gives the ok for you to move into your stalls. There are four sales scheduled for Thursday and they do have PRIORITY! Counties which happen to be assigned to stalls which correspond to the sale cattle are asked to respect their right to be there and you will not be allowed to move into those stalls until sale exhibitors have moved out. You will have to remain tied in the baby beef barn until the barn managers give you the ok to move into your aisles.
Dogs
Dogs, whether loose, caged or on a leash are not allowed in the cattle barns at the Iowa Beef Expo!
REGISTRATION PAPERS
Passed Back after check-in 1:30 - 2:30 P.M. - Friday, February 15th All registration papers collected during check-in will be available for pick-up in the Livestock Pavilion Bleachers from your breed association. Registration papers MUST be picked up at this time!!

HEIFERS PURCHASED AT THE 2008 IOWA BEEF EXPO SALES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE JUNIOR SHOW
The only exception which will be made for entries received after February 1st for the junior show will be for show heifers which are purchased in one of the sales held during the 2008 Expo. If you purchase a heifer from one of the Expo Sales, and you desire to show it on Saturday or Sunday, you should report to the cattle barn office after the sale and let the office manager know you will be exhibiting on the weekend. The information is necessary in order to reserve stall space for you. The entry fee for sale heifers is $25 and must be paid at time of check-in.
STALLING
All junior cattle will be stalled by county. Counties will be randomly assigned an appropriate number of stalls based on entries received. Exhibitors from each county will be responsible for working out their own stalling arrangement within their assigned stalls. Due to the volume of entries, there is a possibility that some counties will be stalled in the tie-out barn. Because of the very large number of cattle which are entered, exhibitors will only be allowed one stall per entry and no tack space or tieouts will be guaranteed.
ARRIVAL TIMES FOR JUNIOR CATTLE
Because we will be checking in ALL junior cattle on Friday, February 15th, junior exhibitors may arrive late Thursday evening and go to the tieouts until we can get cattle into the open class barn. We will get as many junior cattle into the barn Thursday evening as possible, however, NO JUNIOR CATTLE WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE OPEN CLASS BARN UNTIL THE BARN MANAGERS GIVE THE OK. THE OPEN CLASS BARN WILL BE CLOSED TO ALL IJBBA EXHIBITORS FOR SALES AND CLEANING FROM 3:00 - 9:00 P.M. Many exhibitors will be allowed in the barn late Thursday evening, but because the Chianina Sale will be held on Thursday evening, counties assigned stalls in those aisles will not be allowed in the barn until Friday morning. Final stalling assignments will not be made available until Thursday, February 14th so please don’t call and ask for them until that time.
DNA/BLOOD-TYPING
All breed associations reserve the right to DNA/blood type any cattle being shown within their breed divisions. Request for DNA/blood-type testing can come from the breed association or the IJBBA at any sanctioned show throughout the year beginning with the Iowa Beef Expo. Should testing reveal that the animal in question has been misrepresented on its registration papers, the exhibitor will be immediately withdrawn from that breeds point program for the remainder of the year and any points previously earned for that breed division will be void. This applies both to steers and heifers.
