2015 Texas A&M University Saddle &
Sirloin Steer and Heifer Futurities
August 1-2, 2015
Welcome to the Brazos County Expo Complex and the 2015 Saddle &
Sirloin Steer & Heifer Futurities! Here are a few things we thought
would be helpful as you get settled in for the weekend.
● Stalling is first come, first serve. Please be aware of those around you and don’t take up
more space than needed.
● This is a fitted show.
● Office hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Please consult the posted schedule for check in
times for both steers and heifers each day.
● If you have an animal related emergency, the large animal veterinarian we recommend
locally is the Texas A&M University Large Animal Veterinary Clinic and can be contacted
by calling (979) 845-3541.
● Jackpot showmanship will begin at 8 a.m. each morning in the arena. To enter, pay $5
per exhibitor at the gate. Junior division (up to 11 years old) will be showing in Ring A.
Intermediate division (12-14 years old) will be showing in Ring B. Senior division (15
years and up) will show in Ring C. Winners in each age division will receive 60% of the
jackpot. Reserve winners in each age division will receive 40% of the jackpot. The
Futurities will begin with Ring A at 9 a.m.
● Entry forms, waivers, and weight cards will be available on the table outside the cattle
office. Please fill them out and have your payment ready when you enter the office. If
you are showing a heifer, please have your registration papers ready as well. There will
be a $10 per head per ring late fee for entering after July 13 th, 2015.
● Classes will be posted after check-in closes at 7 a.m. each morning approximately an
hour before the show begins. You can find them outside the office on the wall. Show
order will be in alphabetical order by breed within each division and is posted on the
wall by the office.
● Awards will be given in rings A & B for steers and B & D for heifers only. For steers to
enter ring B, you must first enter in ring A. For heifers, to enter ring B, you must first
enter in ring A, and to show in ring D, you must enter in ring C.
● Buckles will not be given to winners in the ring. Winners will receive vouchers and will
need to proceed to the cattle office where they will fill out thank you notes to their
sponsors and then receive their buckles.
● Shavings must be bought from the BCEC for $8 per bag at the east side of the barn. RV
Hookups will also be sold at this location.
