Carter County Jr. Livestock
Show
The nomination date for steers and heifers to be shown in the 2007 Carter County
Jr. Livestock Show has been set for Monday, October 30 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
This will be the only nomination date! There will be no alternate
nomination dates.
Nominations will be held this year at the Noble Foundation Pasture Demonstration
Farm. This is the same site you deliver steers for the carcass contest
each spring. The Noble Foundation people were kind enough to let us use
their facilities, including scales and squeeze chute, so that we may avoid
calves getting loose and/or the risk of getting someone unnecessarily hurt while
tagging and leading cattle.
All steers and heifers that will be exhibited at the Carter County Jr. Livestock
Show must be presented for nomination, including those already nominated for OKC.
Steers will be weighed, tagged and/or tattooed, and hair samples
collected for DNA. Nose prints may be taken as well.
Heifers will be tagged and/or tattooed and hair samples
collected for DNA. Nose prints may be taken as well.
Oklahoma Youth Expo Nominations
All Oklahoma Youth Expo nominations will be a self-nomination, mail-in process
this year. There will be no nomination sites held for steers, sheep, and goats

Note
Instead of blood testing, DNA collection on all species will be done with
hair samples.
