The Maryland Holstein Futurity
is sponsored by the Maryland
Holstein Association to stimulate
interest in the breeding and exhi
biting of outstanding registered
Holsteins in Maryland. It recog
nizes the accomplishments of the
small and the large breeder and the
FFA and 4-H boy or girl.
The Futurity is based upon the
nomination of an animal by its
owner, to be shown in the futurity
show in the year in which she is
eligible.
Four payments are required for
each animal that competes. The
initial nomination is made as a calf
with a fee of $2.50. Four dollars is
paid with the renomination as a
yearling, $6 as a 2-year-old and
the final payment of $lO is due as
a 3-year-old. This year, 647 ani
mals were nominated as calves. At
the end of the first year, this num
ber dropped to 456, then 248 as
2-year-olds. The final nomination
and payment included 84 entries.
This number was reduced to 18 by
show night. The purse this year
ranged from $7lO for first place to
$6O for the 18th place winner. An
additional $lBO was awarded to
the top six animals for their
2-year-old production records.
