Purpose

The purpose of the ASBA Production Contest is to award junior members for their outstanding production practices and record keeping abilities. The contest will allow junior members who may not be able to travel to ASBA sanctioned shows to be recognized by the association for their accomplishments with their Southdown sheep projects. This award is available to any American Southdown Breeders Association junior member raising Southdown market lambs or breeding sheep.

Requirements

• Applicants must be a junior member of the American Southdown Breeders Association.
• Applicants must be 21 years of age or under as of January 1st of the year of application.

  • Division 2- Juniors with 5-20 head of sheep
  • Division 3- Juniors with 20 or more head of sheep
