4. Animals must be properly tattooed and will be inspected at the show. Tattoos must be legible and match the registration certificates. If an animal’s tattoo is not legible or cannot be read upon initial processing, it will be ineligible to show and not be allowed to return with a new or corrected tattoo.

5. To maintain a high degree of confidence in Limousin shows, NALF reserves the right to disqualify any animal that has been fitted in an unethical manner. Unethical fitting shall include the following: a) Any use of paints, colored show foam, graphite, colored powders or other substances; animals may be subject

to a white-towel test; b) The addition of any hair or hair like substances, including false tail heads and false polls (false tail switches are

allowed); c) The cutting, tearing or gluing of the hide or underneath the hide or removal of tissue in an attempt to alter the

shape of the animal or the injection of any gas, solid or liquid under the hide to alter the normal conformation; d) Any products, solutions or liquids administered internally or externally to alter the conformation of the animal is

prohibited. That includes the use of steroids, growth stimulants and the act of artificially filling animals internally, which would include stomach pumping, drench tubes or any other method.

EXCEPTION: In the case of severely sick or dehydrated animals, the exhibitor may have fluids or electrolytes administered by the licensed official show veterinarian with the approval of the show superintendent or a NALF representative. That exception is not applicable on show day or weigh-in/check-in day.

6. Bulls older than one (1) year must show with a nose lead. The Limousin show superintendent and the show management reserve the right to disqualify animals deemed unmanageable.

7. Protests against exhibitors, individual animals or fitting violations must be submitted in writing, signed by five (5) active members of the NALF and presented to the show superintendent within 12 hours of the show’s completion.

8. NALF reserves the right to mouth animals for dental development. 9. NALF reserves the right to collect hair samples from any animal.

GROUPS



Each animal must be shown in an individual class to be eligible for a group class. Groups

are not eligible for Grand Champion.

1260 Produce-of-Dam: two head, either sex, from one dam, bred by exhibitor. 1262 Junior Get-of-Sire: three head, owned and exhibited by one breeder or exhibitor, from junior calf male or female

classes only. 1264 Senior Get-of-Sire: four head, by one sire, from all male and female classes, may be more than one breeder. 1266 Breeders Group: five head, bred and owned by exhibitor.

PREMIER BREEDER/EXHIBITOR POINTS

On joint entries, exhibitor and breeder points are split. On a single entry, if the dam is owned jointly, exhibitor points are awarded all to the exhibitor, and the breeder points are split. Breeder points will be awarded to in-state member breeders regardless of whether they are exhibitors. Cow/calf pairs will be awarded points in both classes. No Produce-of-Dam and Get- of-Sire or Breeder’s Group points will be awarded. Premier breeder and exhibitor points will not be awarded to out-of- state members.
