the futurity to reward our members for their hard work in the improvement of
their breeding programs and the ultimate improvement of the Miniature Zebu
Cattle Breed. We will paying on two divisions of both Heifer and Bull calf
classes. We divided up the age
classes in half to make a fair and equitable playing field for our junior
animals. We will not be paying on Steers as they are not reproductive animals
and not paying on Senior animals. This is a fully sanctioned show and all wins,

COSTUME
CLASSES Saturday, 2:00 pm

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 Trophy for the over-all winner.
Rick Murpy will be donating cash money for the costume class winners, and TJ Gibson and his ranch will be donating $25 to the most creative costume.
