This award will be given to the purebred heifer that earns the most points from placing in approved Junior shows.
PROGRAM GUIDELINES:

- Points are earned during one show season that runs from December 1 – November 30 each year.
- There will be no year-to-year accumulation of points.
- Points will be awarded in accordance with the point schedule for qualifying shows. (See Page 4)
