2018 OREGON HOLSTEIN FUTURITY

Devoted to the interest and promotion of the Holstein Breed

For the best 2 year old cow to be shown in 2018.

ELIGIBILITY: A registered Holstein female that was born from Sept. 1, 2015, through Aug. 31, 2016, is eligible for the 2018 Oregon Holstein Futurity. All nominated calves must be owned by an Oregon member at the time the nomination calf is born. All animals entered in the Futurity must also be bred by an Oregon breeder and born in Oregon. If an animal is owned by multiple breeders at least one partner must be an Oregon member. Animals must also be owned and exhibited by an Oregon exhibitor/member, but those sold before showing as a two-year old are eligible provided respective entry fees are paid by the new owner.

FEES: 1st payment of $5.00 with entry shall be paid by December 15, 2016. 2nd payment of $10.00 shall be paid by July 1, 2017. 3rd payment of $25.00 shall be paid by March 31, 2018. If the payments are not made by the due dates, the exhibitor forfeits the right to show the animal in the Futurity Class.

PURSE: Fifteen (15) percent of the entry fees will be used to conduct the Futurity. Eighty-five (85) percent of the entry fees will be divided as follows for prize money:

1 - 19 ENTRIES

First Place 30%

2nd Place 20%

3rd-4th Place 10%

5th-10th Places 5%

11th-19th Places $40 each*

8th-13th Places 4%

14th-17th Places 2%

* The $40.00 each for places 11 through 19 will be subtracted from the total purse first and the remainder will then be allocated to places 1-10 as indicated.

REFUNDS: When nomination fees and subsequent payments in connection with the Futurity are received, they are committed to the purse for this event and no refunds will be made, whether or not the animal is shown or its eligibility discontinued by the owner. In the event, however, that any condition should arise which prevents the showing of the Futurity, the right is reserved to cancel the same and refunds made to persons owning females that have been nominated, their share of all monies accrued after the deduction of actual expenses in the promotion of the industry.

MAINTAINING ELIGIBILITY: Eligibility after an animal has been nominated as a calf is maintained by making subsequent payments on the due dates as specified heretofore. This responsibility rests solely with the owner, after being notified of re-entry dates and failure to make the next payment cancels eligibility and all previous fees become a part of the purse.

EXHIBITING OF ENTRANTS: All futurity animals must be entered and comply with all Oregon State Show entry requirements and rules to be eligible to show in the futurity. All futurity animals must conform with the receiving and release time at the Oregon State Show.

SALE OF THE ELIGIBLE ANIMALS: When an animal that is entered in the Oregon Holstein Futurity is sold, the eligibility may be maintained by the new owner and it shall be his responsibility to inform the Futurity secretary of the change of ownership. The seller shall inform the buyer that the animal purchased is already entered in the Futurity and it will be the responsibility of the buyer to submit subsequent fees in accordance with the rules and closing dates.

ENTRY RULES: Forms must include Herd ID number, birth date, and registration number. If using Holstein ID tags, just enter the tag number. All animal information must be completed in full by the final payment on March 31, 2018 to qualify for the show.
