Members must attend at least 4 shows to earn Champion Breed awards.   
2. Points will be accumulated at all Sanctioned Shows and recorded in class, individually, based on the number of animals that are actually shown in the class.  The KCCA will not be responsible for “NO SHOWS” at the gate.  Members will receive only the exact number of points as indicated in the point table.
3. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to classify his or her animal at the animal’s first Competition. The animals first Competition will designate the breed division for the entire year in which points can be awarded. YOU the exhibitor has, 30 days from the date of your first competition to notify the secretary of the classification.  If you as a member change the breed selection, you forfeit all points accumulated up to that show.

All steers are required to have an official Kansas ear tag.  To ensure proper tabulation of points it is the EXHIBITOR’S responsibility to ensure that the ear tag number is recorded on the official entry Form.  Tattoos or registration numbers may be used until weigh-in to get tags.

12. Once points have been recorded on an individual member within any one of the breed divisions, for steer or heifer division competition, those points are nontransferable to any other breed division.  Incorrect breed information is the fault of the EXHIBITOR and the KCCA will assume no responsibility therefore, recorded results will not be changed.
