ENTRIES
● Entries open online until June 8th
● Late entry fee of $35 per head will apply after Sunday, June 8th. Late entries accepted online until midnight on Thursday June 12th.
STEERS
● Steers can only show as Progress OR Prospect. They cannot enter the show as both. 1 calf = 1 entry The board reserves the right to disqualify an entry if this is suspected.
● Weight Breaks for Steers:
○ Progress Steers – 876 & above
○ Prospect Steers – 875 & below
● If we have any cattle of a particular breed, they will show with that breed alone. We will NOT mix breeds together.
● •• BLOW AND SHOW ONLY•• No paint or adhesive
● Top 5 calves will be placed in the Grand Drive of the prospect show & awards given
● “Weighed Out” steers will NOT receive a ribbon nor premium money and the class placing will move up. If the 1st place steer weighs out, the 2nd place steer will come back to compete for the champion breed drive.
● Any steer weighing out will forfeit all money and prizes and will not be allowed to
show in the Grand Champion drive. 1st & 2nd place winners in each class will be
weighed back. There is a 5% weigh back on all steers.
● Steers that weigh out in Ring A will NOT be eligible to show in Ring B
● All bib tag numbers must be on the front of the exhibitor’s shirt. This allows the awards committee to match up kids with awards as they leave the show ring.
HEIFERS
● Heifer show age – July 1, 2023 and younger
● Heifer classes will have a minimum of 3 head per class despite the age difference.
● •• BLOW AND SHOW ONLY•• No paint or adhesive
● All bib tag numbers must be on the front of the exhibitor’s shirt. This allows the
awards committee to match up kids with awards as they leave the show ring.
STALLING
● If you want indoor stalls reserved, you must complete entries online. Stall reservations are online only. You cannot reserve more stalls than the number of cattle entered. Late entries may not get stalls if the barn is full.
● All trailers must be parked in the lot across the street from the Ollie Liner Center unless the trailer will have cattle tied to it for outside stalling. We have limited space inside & out so we need everyone’s cooperation. No trailers can be parked at the end of the barn, on the grass in front of the barn or in the RV spots.
● All inside stalls are pre-assigned as we receive paid entries. However, the board does have the right to give inside stalls away if no cattle are tied in the stall. An exhibitor can stall inside OR outside, but NOT both due to space limitations. Early entries do not mean inside stall. You must purchase inside stalls with online entries to get one. Number Of Calves Entered = Number of Stalls Reserved
● The Panhandle Parade of Breeds has some exciting news to benefit the kids!! We will once again be selling tent spaces in the grass to help fund the scholarship program for high school seniors. We are excited about the opportunity to continue extending scholarships to high school seniors that exhibited cattle at the PPOB! By implementing this reservation change, our hope is that it will make it easier for everyone by not having to rope off your own spot weeks in advance. Spaces will be for cattle stalling only, not for vendor usage. Please note that everything needs to stay within the boundaries of the space. If you need additional space, you may consider getting multiple spots. Tent rental spaces will be auctioned off on May 5th on SC Online Sales. For any questions please call Matt Henley (806)789-9380 or Kendall Long (806)292-6957. Help us spread the word as this will be the only means to get space for a tent. Thank you for your support of PPOB and most importantly the kids!
SHOWMANSHIP
● For the 2025 showmanship contest, the exhibitor must select Heifer or Steer showmanship, not both. Showmanship will be a “blow and go”. Prizes and scholarships will be awarded.
● An exhibitor can only win senior showmanship one time. Exhibitors are eligible to compete in the heifer showmanship if they won the steer showmanship and vice versa.
● Showmanship entries will be cut off on Thursday at 7:00 pm. You can ONLY enter at the show. No Friday morning entries.
● Exhibitors must show in steer and/or heifer show to be eligible to enter showmanship.
