If there is a space problem, the number per class is cut down to five. There are four beef breeds being show, with three classes in each breed. Each exhibitor is limited to two entries per class. ; The junior breeding sheep show is not selected by elimination either. “Pen space is our big problem there,” said Tom King, a member of the Farm Show Commission “this is the reason for establishing the 75 head limit.” This year the Commission established a new rule allowing junior exhibitors who did not make the quota to be able to enter in the open show.

They will be there anyway, so why not let them compete? “I think we ought to take a look at this limit on 75 head... and maybe weTieed to make it more accessable for sheep to come into the show” King said.

One of their 10 recoin-, mendations included the staggering of sheep shows, showing breeding sheep earlier, and releasing them earlier to let the market lambs and junior show have more pen space for then shows at the end of the week. The recommendations were discussed by the Com mission.
