Dairy cattle exhibitors will have the chance to compete for several new awards at the 47th World Dairy Expo.

New for the 2013 International Junior Holstein Show, Y-Tex Corporation is graciously sponsoring the premiums for each class, which will benefit those junior exhibitors.

For the first time in the history of the show, Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show will be awarded banners in all seven breeds. These awards are based on their counter-part for the overall breed shows that currently exist. Pre-entry is required and will be based on six heifers. Entries must be received in the Dairy Cattle Show Office by 5 p.m. the day prior to the heifer show. Heifers are also eligible for the overall Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor banners. Points will be based on the existing Premier Breeder and Exhibitor point system. The fourteen award banners for the Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show are sponsored by American Wood Fibers Inc.
