ALL animals entered in the show must have the AMZA original or a photocopy of every animal entered at time of check in. A photocopy is recommended. If you have already sent in a photocopy with your entries nothing else is required. A photocopy of your AMZA registration papers sent in with your entries and will expedite check in.

It is recommended that every show animal has some sort of permanent identification. It is not necessary now, but eventually all miniature zebu cattle shown will need to be identified. This could be tattoos, microchips, ear tags or brands, anything permanent.

Nose rings are only required on any animal deemed to be hard to handle, or unruly.The judge or show committee has the right to have an animal removed from the ring if it is too disruptive or a danger to any other animal or person at the show.

Please check your animals carefully, any animal that shows signs of illness or infectious disease can and will be barred from the show. We are not requiring health certificates, but the show committee has the last word as to animals of questionable health. There will be no refund of animals deemed sick or unhealthy. We all must be responsible breeders and exhibit good sportsmanship at all times. We are sorry for this disclaimer, but we have a responsibility to all our exhibitors, as a quality and professional show is our goal.

A signed copy of each show program with the correct results is to be mailed to the AMZA office at 218 W. 6th street not later than 10 days following the show.Show results must be legible and the Date and signature of both the judge and the show secretary must be on the front of each show program submitted.
