does not show their own animal. In case of a tie, the number of Reserve Supreme
titles will determine the winner..

of cattle that enter the show ring for that particular class.
8. Shows may allow open class exhibitors, but the open class
exhibitors’ points will be void and IJJBA members’ points will
not be realigned.
9. At a show, if one person exhibits a large number of cattle,
only their three highest-point-earning breeding heifers/market
animals from that day will be counted for his/her top ten
points. However, all of their animals will receive points within
their respective breed divisions for that day.
10.. Sanctioned shows must offer breed/commercial/crossbred
classes for steers and heifers regardless of the number entered.
11. In order for any points to be awarded, the cattle must be
owned by, entered in the name of, and shown by the individual
IJBBA member, the only exception being if the exhibitor has two
or more animals in the same class.
12. Exhibitors must meet the age requirements of their
respective Junior Breed Associations. I.J.B.B.A. members cannot
have reached their 21st birthday prior to January 1, 2010.
13. I.J.B.B.A. sanctioned shows must offer Market Heifer shows.
A Champion and Reserve Champion High Point Market Heifer Award
will be given at year-end. All I.J.B.B.A. sanctioned shows must
allow the Champion Market Heifer to compete against the steers
for a Supreme Market Animal of the show. Year-end over all top
ten-market animals will be selected from both Market Steers and
Market Heifer exhibitors.
14. If an animal is disruptive to its class, it is at the discretion of the show
management to dismiss it from that class. If the animal is
dismissed during a championship class, the exhibitor will be
disqualified and will lose only the points acquired in the
championship class. The reserve animal will then move up to
compete for champion, and no other animal will replace the
reserve.
15. Fall Heifers must be born from 9-1-08 to 12-31-08.
16. Use of hemp hair, removed hair, or other hair-like materials
added to the animal’s body will not be allowed. I.J.B.B.A. does
not allow surgical or any other alterations to the animals such
as the use of permanent dyes or paints to alter the animals
original color pattern. Exhibitors found in violation of this
rule will be stripped of all their points for that day. After
their third offense, it will be considered a code of conduct
violation and will be handled accordingly.
17. Exhibitors are not allowed to “fill” animals by using
any artificial means of drenching such as pumps or bottles. Exhibitors found in
violation of this rule will be stripped of all their points for that day. After
their third offense, it will be considered a code of conduct violation and will
be handled accordingly.
18. All breed associations reserve the right to
blood-type/DNA/retinal eye scan any cattle being shown within
their breed divisions. Request for blood-type/DNA
testing/retinal eye scan can come from the breed association or
the I.J.B.B.A. at any sanctioned show throughout the year
beginning with the Iowa Beef Expo. Should testing reveal that
the animal has been misrepresented on its registration papers,
the exhibitor will be immediately withdrawn from the point
program for the remainder of the year and any points previously
earned will be void. This applies both to steers and heifers.
19. At Breed Field Days, exhibitors will receive points only for
their breed and class placings. They will not receive any Top 5
(aka “Supreme”) points, and they will not be considered for the
Supreme Exhibitor competition.
• At Field Days where animals are only allowed to show as
“Owned” OR “Bred & Owned” (not both), the divisions will be
considered as separate shows for the purpose of points.
• At Field Days where animals may be shown in BOTH “Owned”
AND “Bred & Owned” divisions, exhibitors will receive the
highest points earned for each animal (regardless of which show
they competed in). Animals will NOT receive points for BOTH
“Owned” AND “Bred & Owned” shows, only the points for each
animal which were highest.
20. Site-specific protests must be filed at the IJBBA Sanctioned
Show. Any person wishing to have an animal inspected is required
to submit a written protest and be accompanied by $100.00. The
person placing the protest is responsible for all costs incurred
to verify the protest. Written protest must state plainly the
cause of the complaint and must be filed before the championship
drive at the sanctioned show. If inspection is not sustained,
the protest money will be forfeited. Protests will be handled by
the breed association involved, crossbred protests will be
handled by the Executive Director and the IJBBA Advisors
21. Conduct. Any unsportsmanlike conduct or misrepresentation on
the part of an I.J.B.B.A. member will not be tolerated. All

is subject to disqualification or any other steps deemed
desirable.
22. Dress Code: All I.J.B.B.A. members must exhibit in a
collared/crew neck shirt with sleeves/short sleeves and the
shirt must remain tucked in at ALL TIMES during exhibition. Any
I.J.B.B.A. member not complying with the dress code will be
disqualified.
23. If a sanctioned IJBBA show receives a bad check for an entry
fee, IJBBA requests that show management contact the exhibitor
and give them 15 days to submit a cashiers check/money order or
cash to their show for reimbursement of their entry fee. Show
management must also notify an IJBBA Advisor immediately. This
exhibitor will automatically forfeit that day’s show points. If
after one bad check has been written and not cleared by the
exhibitor, this exhibitor will not be allowed to participate in
any other IJBBA sanctioned shows for the remainder of the year.
If an exhibitor writes more than 2 bad checks during the 2010
show season, whether they make good on them or not, the
exhibitor will be stripped of all points accumulated for the
year along with their IJBBA membership for 2010.
24. Sanctioned shows are required to submit a
$150 deposit to the IJBBA upon sanctioning. $50 of this deposit
