9. The American Angus Association, 3201 Frederick Ave., S1, Joseph, Missouri will participate in premiums offered for open class Angus breeding cattle classes according to the premium schedule based on the number of head shown. The premium assistance provided by the American Angus Association for participation in this
show is in addition to the premiums offered by the show itself. The premium assistance should not be used to offset show expense and shall be included in the premium payments distributed by the show to the exhibitors. A minimum of 50 head must be shown in the Open Class Division to receive American Angus Association premium participation for the following year. Premiums from the association are paid only to registered Angus cattle and only if the registration number
is a part of the show report provided to the Association. Therefore, all cattle should be registered at the time of entry to make certain they receive the association's portion of premiums. The Association does not pay on championship or any group classes (i.e. 6et -of-sire, junior get-of-sire or breeder six-head). Exhibitors must have the original registration certificate on each animal available for inspection at the show. Electronically stored registration certificates are NOT accepted - only the original certificates issued by the American Angus Association. Any animal, upon check-in, which does not have a legible Permanent identification mark (ear tattoo marks, freeze-branded marks or hot-branded marks) corresponding to the permanent identification mark on the registration certificate, is ineligible to show. Once disqualified due to an incorrect or illegible permanent identification mark, animals cannot be re-tattooed and rechecked at the show. Any female shown with calf at side, the calf must be the cow's most recent natural calf and the calf must be registered by show date and have the original registration certificate at check in. Only one person at a time shall lead animals into the show ring. Exhibitors who participate in shows that accept premium monies contributed by the American Angus Association are subject to the Association Rules as found in the Breeders Reference Guide of the Association. These rules are found in Part 2; Association Rules. The rules relating directly with the exhibition of Angus cattle are Part 2: Association Rules; Rule 800 Series; including Rule 800-811. These rules can be found at www.angus.org.
Altering the conformation and/or appearance of an animal for exhibition is prohibited.  This includes the covering of white skin, false tail heads (or use of any false hair), with the exception of false tail switches.  The use of graphite, powders, hemp or other similar substances used externally are also prohibited.  Other prohibited products include those used internally such as steroids, illegal or unlicensed pharmaceuticals or artificial filling.  Any animal found to be in violation will be barred from showing.
At any show for which the American Angus Association appropriates funds toward the payment of premiums, no exhibitors, individuals assisting exhibitors or member owners at such show shall be allowed to use any coloring agents, on any animal exhibited. The Association may adopt and implement various tests designed to monitor this prohibition, including but not limited to a "white towel" or "white glove" test. No aerosol cans or other pressurized containers will be allowed in designated line up areas.
All animals exhibited are subject to DNA marker or blood type test to verify accuracy of parentage as covered under the Association Rules and for other testing as required by the individual show.
Authorized representatives of the Association have the authority to enforce the rules set forth herein as well as in the Association Rules, including the barring of a registered animal from a livestock show at which it is to be shown, if there are reasonable grounds to believe a violation has occurred.

EXHIBITORS MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN BEDDING.
