KJLS Show Entries Due August 15
Entries for the Kansas Junior Livestock Show (KJLS) will open August 1 and be due August 15. A complete nomination does not constitute entry; it only makes animals eligible. So, even if a family state nominated market animals or commercial breeding females earlier this summer, there is still another step left to be able to show! All exhibitors and animals must be entered directly through the KJLS entry link using ShoWorks. Only online entries will be accepted. Exhibitors will receive a receipt via email to confirm show entry through KJLS.
Families who state-nominated livestock will use the exhibitor name and password created for each child during nominations to log in and submit their entries. Exhibitors will select their Tag IDs/Validation Numbers from a drop-down list of nominated animals in those divisions that require nomination. Registered breeding females are entered by the exhibitor off of their papers. Show entry is also when exhibitors will enter showmanship. Youth who are only showing registered breeding females will submit their YQCA verification at the time of entry.
Late entries will be accepted until August 31, but will cost double the listed original entry fee amount. No entries will be accepted after August 31.
All families should read the rules prior to show entry.
Exhibitors are also encouraged to enter and participate in the LEAD Challenge to display their knowledge of the livestock industry. Information regarding this program is posted on the KJLS website.
