ABBB has developed an awards program for it's Junior exhibitors. The purpose of this program is to encourage development of our Junior cattlemen and women and to promote the Belgian Blue breed.

To be eligible for the program the youth should not have reached his/her 21st Birthday.

Awards will be given for the top Junior and the Reserve Junior.

To be awarded the honor of top Junior, the young man or woman must be a Junior member of ABBB and accumulate points on the following scales.

Open Shows Sanctioned for Youth Points
Iowa State Fair (National Show), Tulsa State Fair, Houston Livestock Show. Cattle must be family or farm owned for at least 30 days prior to the show. Entry must be in juniors' name to qualify for class and overall points.

All presentations/displays must be verified in writing by person in charge of each event such as FFA Advisor or 4-H leader. Displays/Presentations points can only be earned at one event at each fair.

Juniors must be a paid member of the ABBB at time of show or presentation/display to accumulate points.

Points are accumulated beginning in January and must be turned into the ABBB office by December 15.

To receive points the junior exhibitor must submit verification in the form of printed show results signed by the superintendent from EACH show. These results MUST be from the show office or newspaper article with all class results listed. The exception to this rule is the sanctioned shows as the ABBB will have class placings in the office. However, the class placings still need to be listed in year end list. Displays/Presentations at sanctioned shows still need to have signed verification. This will be strictly enforced.

Juniors may show any number of head at each show but points will only accumulate for 4 head.

All cattle must be registered with the ABBB.

Verification
To receive points the junior exhibitor must submit verification in the form of show results signed by the show superintendent or show results intended for public knowledge such as photos or articles in the media.

Verification must be mailed by December 15th.
