All Kansas commercial cow-calf producers are eligible to exhibit cattle in a special show September 12 at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. The Super Cow-Calf Show will feature pairs in pasture condition, with no fitting allowed.
An entry consists of one cow and her natural calf. No bull calves are allowed. The age of the cow and birth date of the calf must be known and provided by the exhibitor. Cows and calves will be judged on type, structure, muscling, natural fleshing and soundness of udder (cows only), eyes, feet and legs.
The grand champion pair will win $600 plus five straws of ABS semen, while the reserve will earn $400 and five straws of ABS semen. Third place wins $250, fourth place earns $150 and fifth place is worth $100. Prizes for the show are sponsored by ABS, Reno County Farm Bureau and Valley Vet Supply.
The entry fee is $25 per pair. Entries are due to the Kansas State Fair by August 15. All animals competing at the fair must be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection issued within 30 days of the event.
