Rules: To be considered for Bred 

& Owned awards, one of the original 

owners must be listed as one 

of the current owners. Where a 

herd is registered in the names of 

different members of a family and 

where the herd is one unit, all entries 

may be considered as exhibits 

of one breeder. 

A neck ribbon and medallion will be 

presented by Holstein Association 

USA to the exhibitor of the first 

place bred & owned animal in each 

class. 

Premier Breeder 

and 

Premier Exhibitor Rules: 

1. Premier Breeder: The owner 

of the dam at the time of service 

shall be considered the breeder 

of the animal. Where a herd is 

registered in the names of different 

members of a family, and where 

the herd is one unit, all entries 

may be considered as exhibits of 

one breeder. Otherwise when animals 

are bred in partnership, each 

unique partnership is considered a 

unique breeder. 

The exhibitor winning the most 

points (for a maximum of six animals 

exhibited in the open single 

classes by him/herself and/or other 

exhibitors) shall be designated the 

Premier Breeder. In classes with 

ten or less animals, no more than 

two head per breeder will be counted 

toward premier points. 

2. Premier Exhibitor: Exhibitor 

must be the owner. In case a herd 

is registered or bred in the names 

of different members of a family, 

residing on one farm or breeding 

establishment, and where the 

herd is one unit, all entries may be 

considered as a single exhibitor for 

all group classes. However, members 

of one family, where cattle are 

not housed as one unit, will not be 

considered as a single exhibitor. 

When animals are owned in partnership, 

each unique partnership is 

considered a unique exhibitor. 

The exhibitor winning the most 

points (for a maximum of six 

animals which he/she owns and 

exhibits in the open single classes) 

shall be designated the Premier 

Exhibitor. In classes with ten or 

less animals, no more than two 

head per exhibitor will be counted 

toward premier points. 

3. Premier Breeder & Premier 

Exhibitor Point System:

PREMIER NATIONAL JUNIOR HOLSTEIN SHOW 

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 | Equine Arena | Judge – Mark Rueth, Oxford, WI 

ELIGIBILITY 

Participation in this show is open to 

all youth, who own or lease Registered 

Holsteins and whose birth date is 

between January 1, 1992, and September 

9, 2004. Exhibitors must be Junior 

Members of Holstein Association 

USA. Juniors entered in the show may 

submit applications on site for National 

Junior Membership by 5:00 p.m. the 

day before the show. 

REGISTRATION 

All animals must be registered by the 

Holstein Association USA, Inc. The 

Junior owner(s) or lessee must be 

recorded on the registration certificate. 

Animals must have a minimum of 

87% Registered Holstein ancestry to be 

eligible for the show. 

OWNERSHIP 

Animals must be registered in the 

name of the Junior member, or a partnership 

of Junior members, throughout 

the year exhibiting in order to 

qualify for Junior recognition. Adult- 

Junior and family or farm partnerships 

are not acceptable. 

For an animal being transferred to a 

Junior, or a partnership of Juniors, the 

transfer application must be received 

by the Holstein Association USA office 

on or before June 1. 

The following actions will disqualify 

an animal from Junior recognition: 

Transferring an animal in or out of a 

Junior’s name after June 1 of the show 

year. 

Adding or dropping any adult or 

junior members as owners after the 

deadline. 

LEASE 

The Junior leasing program is designed 

to encourage young people 

to get involved in a dairy project and 

learn about animal care and responsibility. 

The leased animal remains 

in the original ownership and, if the 

leased animal is bred, any offspring 

are named using the owner’s prefix. 

(a) The leasing program is not available 

to youth who concurrently own 

any Registered Holsteins either as an 

individual or in a partnership. However, 

if the lessee becomes the owner 

of the animal anytime during the year 

exhibiting, they will qualify for junior 

recognition. 

(b) A maximum of two Registered 

Holsteins may be leased by any youth 

at one time. Animals may not be 

leased by partnerships. 

(c) The lease may be terminated by 

either the owner (lessor) or the youth 

(lessee) by providing written notice 

to the other party 45 or more days 

before the intended termination date. 

A Lease Termination Report must be 

filed with Holstein Association USA. 

If the animal has been sold, submitting 

an application for transfer of ownership 

will also terminate the lease. 

(d) The animal must be leased before 

she reaches her first birthday 

(e) Leased animals may only be 

shown by the lessee (Junior). If a 

leased animal is shown by an adult, 

the lease is automatically terminated. 

The leasing Junior must show the 

animal at all shows; no substitutions 

may be made. 

(f) The owner of an animal to be 

leased must submit the Certificate 

of Registration for that animal and a 

completed Application for Transfer, 

with the “Lease” box marked, to Holstein 

Association, USA, Inc. All lease 

applications must be received by June 

1 in the year exhibiting. 

(g) The fee to lease an animal is $20. 

There is no fee to record a lease termination. 

(h) When a lease is initiated and approved, 

the Certificate of Registration 

will be printed with the lease details 

and mailed to the Junior lessee. When 

a lease is terminated and the Certificate 

of Registration is returned to 

Holstein Association USA, the lease 

termination will be recorded on the 

certificate and the certificate will be 

mailed to the owner. All leases expire
