• Heifers will be shown loose. Both heifers will enter the ring at the same time and be evaluated by a committee of judges. The heifers will then be penned, and the next pen of heifers will enter. Exhibitors should have their entries docile enough to be able to drive them from the show ring and into a pen.

​

• Exhibitors must be 5 years of age and cannot have reached their 20th birthday by the opening day of the Arkansas State Fair.

​

• There will be an entry fee of $25 per pen. This will be a pen of two heifers.

​

• Deadline for all entries is February 1, 2026.

​

• There is a limit of two pens per weight class for each exhibitor.

​

• Heifers must be dehorned or polled.

​

• Heifers are required to have all calfhood vaccinations.

​

• Heifers must have a minimum weight of 800 lbs.

​

• This is a no fit show. Heifers can be clipped but may not be fitted.

​

• There will be a clean ear rule - meaning all ear tags must be removed prior to arriving at the fairgrounds.

​

• If a heifer has calved, she will not be eligible to show.

​

• There will be two divisions: Brahman Influenced and Non-Brahman Influenced. The pen will be classified during processing by a classification committee.

​

• Classes will be broken down by weights. Weights will be figured for each pen by averaging the two head.

​

• Exhibitors will be responsible for care of their pen while at the fairgrounds. Exhibitors must provide feed pans and water troughs.
