The following guidelines will be for “Of The Year” awards given to animals shown in a single show season. Points will be awarded to Champion Challenge, Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion winners of each sanctioned show for the show season starting January 1st and ending December 31st of each calendar year.
For a member to enter an animal into the Year End awards, the member must be in good standing with the NZCC and have a registered Zebu herd name. A member can show as many animals as they choose in the “Of The Year” awards as long as the animal and exhibitor fit in the guidelines. Animals will not have to enter on an individual basis. Once the animal is shown it will be added into the point standings.
To participate, a membership fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be paid by each breeder. Membership fees are due and payable prior to May 1st of each year for that points year. Fees paid after May 1st will only accrue points after membership is paid in full.
All animals owned by the member from that point forward in the series will count towards the points drive in their respective divisions and also count towards the most prestigious “Exhibitor Of The Year” award.
The points will be awarded on the following basis to members in good standing for the Year End awards. Points will be awarded as follows.
- Champion Challenge winner will be awarded 25 points
- Grand Champion will be awarded 20 points
- Reserve Grand Champion will be awarded 15 points.
- Exhibiting – 10 points awarded for every show Farm exhibits livestock in.
All cattle may be shown including steers, heifers, cows, junior bulls and senior bulls. If a junior bull becomes a senior bull during the show season the points will follow the bull as a senior. If a heifer calves during the show year the points will follow her as a cow.
In the event an animal is sold during the show season the points will be awarded to the new registered owner of the animal at season end. It is the responsibility of the owner to transfer the registration papers of the animal when the sale becomes final of the animal.
If during the show season an animal becomes a Permanent Grand Champion the animal must show in the Champion Challenge class to continue the show season. It is the responsibility of the owner to enter the animal in the correct class to be shown in.
In addition to the animal being awarded Year End awards, there will be an “Exhibitor Of The Year” award.
To qualify for “Exhibitor Of The Year”, the farm or breeder must be in good standing with the NZCC, paid membership for that series year, and have a registered Zebu herd name.
A breeder can show as many animals as they choose to qualify for the “Breeder Of The Year” award. Only Champion Challenge, Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion wins will count towards the “Breeder Of The Year” points.
Any animal whose ownership changes during the show season and transferred to the new owner before the end of said season will be awarded that animal’s point totals.
EXAMPLE: If a breeder sells a bull that has 50 points during the show season the new owner will get those points towards “Exhibitor Of The Year”.
These regulations can be changed at the end of the show season for future show seasons. This will be voted on by the Board of Officers.
