Come and watch one of College Royal's longest running and most popular events in our NEW two day event in the Clinical Skills Building during Open House Weekend. Experience and novice students have put countless hours of work into training and preparing their animals for the chance of becoming the Champion Show person of the day. New this year, the show is divided over two days.  Saturday, March 17, 2012 show will consist of ducks, pigs and horses and Sunday, March 18, 2012 show consists of beef, dairy and sheep. Both shows will start at 9:00am  and will continue to into the afternoon with an hour break for lunch. Come on out and enjoy watching the skills of exhibitors bringing out the best in sheep, beef, dairy, horses, swine and ducks.

All students are welcome to sign up. Both experienced and inexperienced people are welcome. Sign-ups take place Oct. 19-20, 2011 in the University Centre Courtyard from 9:00am to 4:00pm.  The students that have no background in showing animals are placed in groups and receive help from experienced show persons to learn how to properly show their animal. Then students spend a few weeks training their assigned animal before the show. On the day of the show, the competitors are placed in novice and experienced heats according to their background experience. The preliminary heats are run in the morning followed by a lunch break. Then in the afternoon the Championship show for each animal is followed by a Grand Championship show.

There are 6 categories  of animals you could show  include:

• Swine (pigs)
• Sheep
• Horse
• Beef Cattle
• Dairy Cattle
• Duck Show

Note: All of the animals are provided.

Participation Fees:

• $15.00 per student showing cattle or horses 
  
•  $10.00 per student showing pigs, sheep or ducks 

Notes: All participants to this events must fill out special waiver forms. The entry fee differences is due to the increase costs associated with the aquisition and care of larger show animals. There will be some manditory barn meetings. Particpants will be contacted regarding their location, date and time.

Animal Owners/Farmers:
We use a combination of university-owned and privately-owned animals in the show. For beef and dairy heifers, we must now depend entirely on local farmers lending us their animals due to changes in university policy.
