The 2010 WCLA show season is right around the corner. Here are a few things that will impact the upcoming show season.
Commercial Ewe Division: Ewe lambs, born after January 1 of the show year, can compete in the Commercial Ewe Division. Only ewes are allowed to show in this division, however, a ewe does not have to compete in this division. If shown in the commercial ewe division, the ewe is not eligible to be shown in a different class at the same show (animal can only be shown once per show). The Commercial Ewe division will be broken by weight, not by breed. A Grand and Reserve will be selected for the Commercial Ewe Division.
Recognized Breeds: WCLA recognizes the following breeds: Hampshire, Suffolk, Crossbred, Natural Colored and White Face Any Other Breed (AOB). Speckled and/or Black Face AOBs must be shown as a Crossbred unless they are classified as a Suffolk, Hampshire or Natural.
Youth Dues: WCLA annual youth membership dues paid prior to May 1, 2010, are $20 each. Dues paid after May 1, 2010, are $25 per youth. A “family membership” may be purchased for $50 allowing all children 19 and under in a family to become members of the association. Membership applications can be found on the WCLA Web site. Paid membership is not retroactive. For example, if you show on May 1 as a non-member and pay your dues and show on May 8 as a member, your points would start being counted on May 8. |
