Fall Nomination Date Set for Junior Beef Excellence Program

Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:49:29 CDT

Fall Nomination Date Set for Junior Beef Excellence Program
The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation will hold its annual fall steer nomination for the 2013-2014 Junior Beef Excellence Program from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Noble Foundation's Pasture Demonstration Farm located 5 miles northwest of Ardmore.


The Junior Beef Excellence Program is open to 4-H and FFA steer exhibitors who show their steers and abide by the rules and regulations of their county show in Carter, Garvin, Jefferson, Johnston, Love, Marshall, Murray or Stephens County in Oklahoma. Steers must be shown at the spring livestock show in their county to be eligible.


"We have made one significant addition to this year's program," said Bryan Nichols, Noble Foundation livestock consultant. "A record keeping and interview contest has been added this year, which allows the opportunity for more participants to take home prize money based on their knowledge of all that goes into producing a high quality beef steer."


All steers will be entered, weighed and permanently identified with an EID tag at fall nomination. DNA samples will be collected. There is no weight requirement in the fall; however, steers must weigh between 1,000 and 1,500 pounds at the spring delivery in March.


From 2002-2013, this program has involved 707 participants and 828 head of steers. These cattle represent $969,016, all of which is distributed back to the participants based on their individual steer's market value. This year's program will award $9,650 in prize money to participants who finish in the top 10 of the carcass contest and $3,000 to participants who finish in the top three of their division in the record keeping and interview contest.
