Use of steers by Future Farmers and Youth
Following discussion, it was agreed that:

Exhibitors, who had trained steers, would be permitted to use the animals
in the Future Farmers and Youth classes on Friday 23 May ONLY to
facilitate abattoir departure times.

Exhibitors would not be permitted to ‘borrow’ animals for entry into any
steer class.

Standards must be maintained and any animals deemed to be
unacceptable would not be permitted to enter the show ring, regardless
of their origin or circumstances. This policy will be strictly enforced in 2014.
