The Parker County Livestock Improvement Association is a group of volunteers that organize and
host the Parker County Livestock show in June. Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings and may
become a voting member by paying the annual or the lifetime membership fee.

2020 was a rule change year and there are a couple that I would like to point out. Keep in mind, it is
still your responsibility to read the rule book which can be accessed by visiting the PCLIA Website,
selecting the "Stock Show" drop down menu and selecting "Rule Book". There of course were other

rule changes so it is very important that you go online and read the rule book prior to entering the
show.

Premium Sale - The auction has changed from a terminal sale to a premium sale. This means
the exhibitor now gets to decide the destination of the animal (ship or take home), and if they

choose to ship it, they (the exhibitor) will also get the floor check.
Unlimited tag-in for market animals - there is no longer a limit for the number of market
animals an individual exhibitor or family unit can tag. You may tag as many as you want as long

as you pay the respective tag-in fee. Each exhibitor may only still show two (2) of each species
for the market divisions but you can tag as many as you want to now.

Mark your calendars...
