5. Entry Limit There is no limit on how many animals an exhibitor may enter and show.
6. Classes / Divisions Show officials will determine classes after check-in. They will make every effort to ensure no class contains more than 15 head or has an age spread of more than 60 days. All classes will line up according to age from youngest to oldest in the show arena.
Divisions in the owned Limousin & Lim-Flex Female shows will be broken as follows:
Division I: November 1, 2024- January 31, 2025 Division II: September 1- October 31, 2024 Division III: May 1- August 31, 2024 Division IV: March 1- April 30, 2024 Division V: January 1- February 28, 2024 Division VI: September 1- December 31, 2023
Bred and Owned Female and Bred and Owned Bull shows will have three divisions that will be determined once animals are checked in. There are no divisions in the cow / calf show.
Steer classes and divisions will be split by weight. The steer show will include prospect and progress divisions. Prospect steers are those weighing less than 900 pounds at check-in, while steers weighing more than 900 pounds will be in the progress division. All Progress Steers will be automatically entered into the Virtual Carcass Contest; entrants may opt out of the contest.
At the NJLSC, there will be a class for the best pair of females owned and exhibited by one junior member. Both females must be shown in the regular show. In the NJLSC“ best state group” class, each state junior association will select three females( each owned and exhibited by a different junior) to represent it; and that class will count toward sweepstakes points.
NJLSC judges will be selecting the Top Five Females in both the Owned Lim-Flex Female Show and the Owned Limousin Female Show. Judges will be selecting a Top three in divisions during the Owned Shows with the third place female serving as an alternate. The Top Three Females from each class will have the opportunity to compete for the top three divisions. The third-place female will be pulled into the Championship lineup only if both the first and second-place females in the class / division have been selected.
NJLSC judges will be selecting the Top Three Females in the Bred & Owned Lim-Flex Female Show, Bred & Owned Limousin Female Show, Bred & Owned Lim-Flex Bull Show, and the Bred & Owned Limousin Bull Show.

Bred and Owned To show in the bred-and-owned show, the animal’ s tattoo must include the junior exhibitor’ s herd prefix( i. e. the junior must be the animal’ s first owner); and the animal’ s dam must have been registered to the junior exhibitor at the time the dam was bred to produce the animal. Embryotransfer( ET) calves are eligible for the bred-andowned show; however, the donor female must have been registered to the junior exhibitor at the time she was flushed to produce the animal.

Juniors exhibiting bred & owned females must maintain full possession of that female from the date of birth until the regional and national shows conclude.
Juniors may sell no more than 50 percent ownership of a bred-and-owned bull and still be eligible to compete with him in the bred-andowned bull show. The exhibitor must keep full possession of that bull until the regional and national shows conclude. All other bred-andowned rules apply.
