The American Angus Association, 3201 Frederick Boulevard, St. Joseph, MO, will participate in premiums offered for open Division Angus breeding cattle Divisions 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. Any classes listed in the classifications, which exceeds 15 head per class, should be broken into smaller classes. Any division that exceeds thirty (30) head is to be divided between early and late divisions with each split in division to receive full ROV points. Class breaks will be at the discretion of the American Angus Association staff or regional manager. 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 Division and 15 head must be shown in the junior 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, get-of-sire, junior get-of-sire or breeder six-head Divisions.
