Registered and crossbred gilts showing at any of the above mentioned shows MUST be validated. All purebred registered gilts showing at
Hill Country Grandstand, The Texas Elite Gilt Show, San Angelo, San Antonio and Houston must provide me with the registration papers so
that I can upload them into the swine validation system. The ownership deadline is November 30, 2022. Ownership of gilts must be
recorded in the name of the junior exhibitor in the Herd Book of their respective breed association on or before November 30, 2022.

Gilts showing in the shows listed above may be family registered as long as all family members are eligible as junior exhibitors per the

We have not received the swine validation date as of yet but will send it out just as soon as we receive it.

General Validation information
Official Validation date is set for Thursday, October 27, 2022 at Clint Petzold's Barn (226 W Aycock Ct, Weatherford 76088)
If you are unable to attend the official validation date announced, you must contact me by October 11 and you will more than likely be
asked to haul your animal(s) to a designated location.
The validation committee will be happy to travel to barns (chapter or individual) if 20 or more animals can be secured. Scheduling is
determined on the availability of the validation committee members. Contact me by October 7th to get on the schedule.

Heifers:
If you plan on exhibiting your heifers at a Spring Major stock show. Once validated, a heifer remains eligible unless breed or ownership is
changed. Original registration papers must be in the exhibitor’s name by Nov. 1, 2022 for Spring Major stock shows. Please bring a color
copy of your original registration papers.

***Note*** if any changes are made on the heifer papers after heifer validation we must contact the state and notify them of those
changes. If the papers do not exactly match the papers uploaded in the system you could risk disqualification if the state is not notified.

2023 Spring Major Stock Show Lamb and Goat Validation
TLBA Tags are REQUIRED for Market Lambs and Wether Dams being exhibited at the San Angelo Livestock Show.
TLBA and TGBA will NOT be recorded if they are not in the ear of the animal at time of validation.
A color copy of the registered breeding sheep and registered breeding goats registration papers is required at time of validation.
The Texas Lamb and Goat Validation of Texas is pleased to announce the introduction of the Roll-over Breeding Sheep and Breeding
Goat program.
Who does this impact? Registered breeding sheep, registered breeding goats, wether/commercial dams, and wether/commercial does
ONLY
Who does this NOT impact? Market lambs and market goats
What does this mean? Beginning June 1, 2021, registered breeding sheep, registered breeding goats, wether/commercial dams, and
wether/commercial does will have 3 total years of eligibility UNLESS A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TAKES PLACE. This will be offered
during major show validation as well. Put plainly- if you validate for State Fair during the June 2021 validation period, your validation
will be eligible until June 2024, unless a change of ownership occurs during that time- then you must re-validate. If you validate during
the October 2021 validation period for major shows, your validation will be eligible until October 2024, unless a change of ownership
occurs during that time- then you must re-validate.
More information regarding the Roll-Over Breeding Sheep and Breeding Goat program will be released soon.
THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO MARKET LAMBS AND GOATS!!!
