The 2020 Alabama Junior Beef Expo Official Rules have been released! Download the rules here . Pay special attention to rules designated with a “New” or “Updated” tab. Here are a few notable announcements:

Online Entry – The first thing exhibitors need to do is enter the 2020 show through the online entry system. This will signal Show Management to send the exhibitor a Validation Kit. Online entry will close on November 1, 2019.
Validation – There will be no physical validation sites for the 2020 show. After completing the online entry process, exhibitors should expect to receive a Validation Kit in the mail. These Validation Kits will include DNA Collection Envelopes, W-9 Forms, EID Tags (if the animal doesn’t already have an EID tag), and instructions on how to proceed. Exhibitors should follow the instructions and postmark the Validation Kits to the Alabama Junior Beef Expo by November 15.
