We would like to begin recognizing our young breeders who are doing a lot of year round work to build their programs at home, and who are showing their own outstanding stock by beginning to offer bred and owned champion selection at shows sponsored by the ASBA. For 2022 we will present this award at the Classic. The All American and NAILE will be determined in the near future.

Ownership requirements: Dam must be registered in name of exhibitor or sibling group at the time of breeding. The animal being exhibited must be registered in exhibitor’s name at time of show. Any questions or disputes will be evaluated by show management and board members present.

Animals will be tracked during the show and the two highest placings in each age class will be brought back for a junior, senior and overall champion with banners presented at the shows.

This program will include both rams and ewes.

We look forward to this added feature and seeing our outstanding young people showcasing all their hard work.
