Qualifications for Exhibiting Texas Longhorn Cattle in TLBT Youth Shows

QUALIFICATIONS FOR EXHIBITING TEXAS LONGHORN CATTLE IN TLBT YOUTH SHOWS

Any member in good standing of the TLBT may show in TLBT shows including current year National, through High School Graduation or Graduating Senior not exceeding 18 years of age on National Show date.
Longhorn calves must be registered with the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America. However, they are not required to be registered in the name of the youth. A copy of said registration must accompany all entry forms for verification of age and registration--no pending registrations will be accepted.
Cattle may be subjected to mouthing by a certified veterinarian for verification of age.
Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow shows are considered open shows. Cattle may be owned by youth, ranch or other breeders of Texas Longhorn cattle.
All cattle must be accompanied by a current health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian. This health certificate should state that the cattle have met all the current brucellosis and TB requirements for movement from their origination to the show. Additionally, cattle may be required to have noted upon the health certificate that they have been treated for scabies, lice, etc. Many states also require that all female cattle be Official Calfhood Vaccinaates for entry. We strongly suggest that all females be so vaccinated at the appropriate age.
A stand-off may be used over a portion of the lead shank when exhibiting cattle in the show ring if the horns of the animal are a danger to the exhibitor. This stand-off may be a section of PVC pipe or some other suitable means of control.
NOSE LEADS with strap (not tongs) will be used on bulls 12 months and over.
NECK TIES or NECK STRAPS must be used on all bulls over 12 months when secured in stall.
Exhibitors must wear western attire, long sleeve shirt or long sleeve blouse with collar and cuffs and pants or skirt with boots, while exhibiting cattle in the show ring (Western hats may be worn if desired). "Baseball style" caps and "tennis shoe" type footwear are prohibited in the show ring.
No adults, except the judge and show official, will be allowed in the show arena except in the case of an emergency.
Only TLBAA members in good standing that are showing or helping with make-ready animals will be allowed in the make-ready area.
When questions arise concerning items not covered by these rules, the show committee for the respective show will make the decision concerning the point in question and its decision will be binding.
In Showmanship Class you must exhibit an animal that was shown in competition in the same TLBT National Show.
