Overall ranking is determined using live animal evaluation score, carcass ranking, online record book ranking, as well as an adjustment factor for the Average Daily gain performance. Each of these areas are scored independently of one another, therefore each area weighs in on overall final score. Steers that enter the Performance contest MUST complete ALL of the criteria.
- At the time of nomination, verified beginning weight MUST be submitted by a copy of official show program listing show weight from Spring Fling, Clover Classic or Showdown in the foothills before May 14th to summer.senter@ncagr.gov
- If not showing at any of those shows, can submit a weight by having local county extension agent, show superintendent—Walter Earle or NCDA representative assist in weighing the calf and whoever assists MUST then email the verified weight to summer.senter@ncagr.gov before May 14th.
