The show reserves the right to perform pregnancy determination by palpation for females in the above classes at any given ABBA approved  show if an official protest has been filed. For Fall shows the last class of females is required to have a calf at side. * The only exception from this rule will be cows that have already weaned a calf.

  15.  [ The intent of the ABBA in shows that exhibit a large number of cattle is do divide the cattle into separate red and grey divisions: {Revised 10/13/05}] 

    If so, the following procedure will apply.  All grey cattle and solid black cattle will show grey.  Red, black & white speckled or red & white speckled cattle will show red.  Cattle with questionable colored pigmentation may be entered in the color division the breeder selects, however, said cattle are subject to inspection by a three (3) member ABBA Color Committee.  If the Color Committee disagrees with the breeder, the pedigree and color of said animal will then be used to aid in the final determination.  In those cases where questionable colored cattle possess both red and grey breeding, then the committee will make the final determination.  The decision of the committee is final.

    Once animals haver been classified they will remain in that classification unless they were young at time of classification and it is apparent that they have changed their color.

    In the get-of-sire and produce-of-dam classes, breeders will not be allowed to show cattle of mixed color. They will be entered as to the color division they are assigned by the Color Committee for the show.

    At split shows where the Color Committee is not present, a staff member with two (2) ABBA Directors will clarify questionable colored cattle for that particular show.  The final classification will be done by the Color Committee. {Revised 08/99}
  16. The owner of record of any registered animal entered in an ABBA approved shows and / or his / her agent, exhibitor, fitter handler and / or representative releases ABBA and it's representatives from any and all liability that seller / owner might claim as a result of injury of any kind sustained before, during, or after handling cattle for any ABBA board approved activity.
  17. For shows to remain approved, point shows by ABBA they must maintain a twenty (20) head average for the previous two (2) years.
  18. The official ABBA rules & procedures governing showing & exhibiting of registered Brahman cattle supersede ant rules printed in any show catalog.
  19. In an attempt to insure that all animals receive an equal evaluation a the National and International Shows, classes with more than 30 entries may at the discretion of the Show Management and / or ABBA Officials be split by age as evenly as possible. 
  20. Any animal that exceeds the weight & measurement requirements at the International Brahman Show, National Brahman Show or any other designated show where weights & measurements are taken will be in-eligible to show at any future ABBA Approved Shows until they reach the Junior Division.  Any animal that exceeds the parameters and is shown at an ABBA Approved Show before reaching the Junior Divison will be in-eligible to show their remaining career.  Both the exhibitor and the owner of the previously disqualified animal that is shown before raching the Junior Division will be in-eligible to show animals for 13 months following the infraction.
