Hi Everyone,
If you mailed your entries on postmarked opening day through 8/24 you are part of the 🍑253 runs 🍑 we have received to date. Note: You should have also received an email confirming our receipt of your entry.
Sanctioning was increased today to 50 run max per trial (runs will be adjusted as livestock numbers are reached and not to exceed judges per day limits) to accommodate the entries we have received to date. 🍑At this time we have reached our livestock limit on cattle runs and a waiting list has been started. We only have a couple more runs available in Sheep to reach our livestock limit. We do still have a few duck runs available. 🍑
