Each participant should bring at least one steer or heifer, but may bring two. In order to keep the groups small, the number of applications is limited to the first 50 on a "first come, first served" basis.

Attendees must be in compliance with the 2013 New Mexico Livestock Board Guidelines for Livestock Exhibitors.

The subjects covered will be:

  • Selection
  • Nutrition
  • Grooming
  • Showmanship and sportsmanship
  • Ethics
