Upon a sale, animals may be exempt from this rule providing the new owner was not part of the previous ownership, either in whole or in part.

PREMIER EXHIBITOR AWARD

An attractive Premier Exhibitor Rosette will be presented to the individual, partnership or institution having the largest number of points that have been won in the individual classes by not more than ten animals owned by the exhibitor. This does not limit the number of animals that may be shown. In the case of jointly owned animals, the joint ownership will be considered as one exhibitor and no part of the points awarded will count towards the individual score of any of the joint owners.

PREMIER BREEDER AWARD

An award is presented to the breeding unit (individual, partnership, or institution) having the highest
number of points won in individual female classes by not more than ten animals bred, but not necessarily owned, by the winner. Calculation of Premier Breeder is readily determined in all identified cases from Certificates of Registry, either 1) from the breeder section, or, 2) in the case of a within-herd family transfer with alphanumeric code, by utilization of the animal’s prefix, or, 3) from animals carrying the same prefix.
Points will be awarded for Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor on the following basis:
