Bastrop Show Steer Validation

Bastrop Area Livestock Show Steer Validation

Steer validation for the Bastrop Area Livestock Show will be held September 10 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Bastrop Livestock Show Barn.  Entry fees are $15 per animal, which is due at validation.  All market steers must be validated at this time.  Each exhibitor may validate three market animals in this division.  A family with two or more exhibitors may validate two market animals per exhibitor in each division in a pool and cross validate.  However, only one market animal per division can be shown by an exhibitor.  Steers will be validated by nose print, ear tattoo and ear tag or official state validation tag. Entry fees and COMPLETED entry forms with exhibitors and parent or legal guardian signatures must be submitted to stock show officials at validation. All market animals must be presented for validation at the designated location and time. If a market animal is validated for major shows, the major show validation tag will be accepted in lieu of hauling the animal to validation, but the exhibitor and a parent or designated representative must be present to pay entry fees and submit entry forms at validation. Major show tags will be verified with 4-H and FFA advisors. If animals are not validated for major shows, entry fees must be paid and the animal must be presented by the exhibitor at Bastrop Show validation to be ear tagged and tattooed by stock show officials.  Exhibitors and a parent or legal guardian must be present at validation day or exhibitor will not be allowed to validate or show animal in show.  In the case of exhibitor participating in a UIL, college entrance exam, FFA or 4-H event, a parent or designated representative must be present to pay entry fees and turn in COMPLETED entry forms with exhibitors and parent or legal guardian signatures. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
