FRIDAY (ONLY) SPECIALTY CLASSES:
JACK-POT COLOR CLASS
Any Miniature Zebu of ANY color or color combination can enter. This class will be a jack-pot class and all the entry fees will be split 70% to the 1st place and 30% to the 2nd place winners. This is a FUN class only, and is meant to expose the variety of colors available in Miniature Zebu cattle. Any age and any color may enter, there is no limit to the number of cattle you may enter in this class! The Judge will determine the winner, and may pick a panel of NON-CONTESTANTS to help determine the winner.
JACK-POT ZEBU BREED CHARACTER CLASS
This class is offered to spotlight the importance of the unique Òbreed specific lookÓ and unique breed character of Miniature Zebu Cattle. The judge will be considering the breed character ONLY of the animals entered in this class. Bring your most exotic animal in breed character into this class and show the world why Miniature Zebu cattle are so revered and what sets them apart from other cattle breeds!
OPEN COSTUME CLASS
We have changed our costume class to include any all costumes for both cattle and the exhibitors. Let your imagination go! Native costume is the cattle decoration of the ancient Hindu cattle that were and are still highly decorated and revered. It can be fresh or artificial flowers, exotic fabric and materials, anything that enhances the exotic look and romances the unique breed character and history of the Miniature Zebu Cattle. Some ideas are horn decoration, head dress and neck veils, body decoration, fancy halters etc. The costume class is free, and there will be a banner from the State Fair of Texas for the over all winner, we will have an Open costume class winner and a Native costume class winner, with prizes for both, and then an over all winner between the two categories.
SATURDAY SEMINARS/COSTUME CLASS:
9:00 am to 11:00 am Mr. Mike Nordin will be teaching youth how to make a costume and dress a cow, this is going to be a fun and informative clinic showing everyone how to ÒdressÓ a cow for the costume class, some pointers on making costumes, decorating your cow etc. Your welcome to bring your costume and Mike will help you fine tune it, or help you with ideas for a costume for the class. Mike will help you come with ideas and designs from Wal Mart to Neiman Marcus in cost and design, this will be a great time and fun for all ages.
