Get transfers in order for junior show season. Here's the question we often receive this time of year:  Please advise me as to what steps a junior needs to take in order to show a Jersey at all shows. Can an animal be leased or does the animal need to be transferred into the junior’s ownership?

The answer is simple. The most direct route—and the one which ensures eligibility no matter where the show is—is to transfer the animal’s ownership into the junior exhibitor’s name. By doing so, there’s no question that the animal has been designated as the junior’s project animal. So, submit the transfer of ownership as soon as you figure out which animals are going to be your projects this year. That one step will save you the effort of researching the exhibitor ownership requirements for all the shows you are considering, and the extra paperwork involved in filing ownership affidavits.

What are the rules for showing in the All American Jersey Show? August 1 is the deadline to register and/or transfer animals into your name for the show. Click here for complete information.
