MCLB / HONOR SHOW CHOW Show Lamb Circuit
General RULES AND REGULATIONS:
* Even though the circuit is run by the MCLB organization, sheep do not have to be Missouri-born and raised or raised/sold by MCLB Members. There is one show exception to this rule being the MCLB Futurity Show, which is open to ONLY SHEEP RAISED BY MCLB Breeders.
* Any exhibitor age 21 and under as of January 1 of the current year is eligible to compete in the Series, and the series is open to residents of ANY state, not just Missouri.
* Entry fees for the MCLB Show Lamb Circuit will be set at $30 per exhibitor. This allows the exhibitor eligibility for final awards in our market lamb, wether dam, WFX, AND showmanship divisions. This should be paid to a MCLB member along with the Declaration Form.
* Please notice: This $30 fee is the exhibitor’s entry into the Series, not the individual shows
themselves. Entry fees into the individual shows vary according to the individual shows’ rules and regulations.
* Ownership of each lamb is established when the exhibitor signs up for the series on the Ownership Declaration Form. We must have your declaration form on file along with your $30 before we start to track your points. Directions on who to send this form and the fee can be found on the Declaration form.
* To earn points at a show on a given day, the animal must be entered AND shown that day by the exhibitor that claimed ownership of that lamb on the declaration form. The ONLY exception to this is if the exhibitor has someone else show one of their declared lambs because they had two or more lambs in the same class. Sheep will be tracked by Scrapie tag numbers from the Declaration Form.
* Individual sheep are also declared “Market” or “Wether Dam” or “WFX” on the Declaration Form and are only ELIGIBLE FOR AWARDS IN THAT DIVISION.
* Prizes are solely dependent on available funding and sponsorships. Series awards will be given at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia on the Wednesday before the market lamb show in conjunction with the showmanship competition.
* Exhibitors must attend a MINIMUM of SIX SHOWS to be eligible for Series Awards and have a minimum of SIX SCORES in a division to receive prizes for that division. The TOP 8 shows of each exhibitor will be figured into their point totals.
* The MCLB Show Lamb Circuit is not responsible for the management of sanctioned shows. All sanctioned events are run independently of the circuit. All exhibitors are expected to honor the rules of the show in which they are participating.
* Shows invited to participate are required to submit $100 to the MCLB and sign a form agreeing to our rules and regulations set forth for the series. The show committee will have the final say in whether to sanction the show or not based on a number of factors.
* All rules are subject to the discretion of the MCLB Show Lamb Circuit Committee and the Missouri Club Lamb Breeders Association and are subject to change.
