Upcoming Show Reminders

Happy Holidays and congratulations on surviving the fall show season! Easy on the rest though, January brings a full schedule of events for ASA! Many of you will be making the trek to Oklahoma City for our 2nd Super National of the year at the 3rd Annual Cattlemen’s Congress at the first of the year.

Cattlemen’s Congress has easily become one of our largest shows, which means stalling gets tight. Stalling requests are processed with entries and lists very specific instructions found on their website to ensure you have the best chance of getting your request. To help us and other breeders, please let us know if you will be scratching your entries ASAP. If you have Cattlemen’s Congress questions, please send those to Cassie (cassie@shorthorn.org) for tie show and Wade (wade@shorthorn.org) for the pen show. A schedule for Cattlemen’s Congress can be found on page 78.

National Western Stock Show comes in next in our schedule for National shows. If you have not entered, late entries will be considered until December 21st. We are excited to see the updates to the facility, as last year’s progress in the yards was impressive. We worked for months with NWSS staff to adjust our schedule to flow well with other breeds and allow time for exhibitors to haul between OKC and Denver. If you will be making both shows, reach out to Wade or Cassie if you need help with schedules. Find a schedule for NWSS on page 78.

Closing out January finds our crew at Fort Worth Stock Show. Unique to FWSS, open entries must be owned by the exhibitor. Be sure to transfer any animals to the needed exhibitor prior to the ownership deadline. A schedule for FWSS is located on page 78.

At this time, we do not have a show date provided to us from Dixie Nationals in Jackson, Mississippi for our final National Show. We are anxiously awaiting their schedule for which February weekend we will show. We will update our website, insider and social media with dates ASAP. This was a fun show for many new exhibitors in 2022; we anticipate many to return, and more to enter!

As a reminder, please let us know if you will not be attending a show you have entered to allow us to reallocate tie spaces, we appreciate your help to ensure a good experience for all.

We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events! Should you need anything as you prepare, we are happy to assist you with your needs. We look forward to seeing everyone as we ring in 2023. =
