Holstein Association USA extended the Junior transfer 'received by' deadline to July 15 for both heifers and cows in 2020. This new deadline for juniors will remain in place for the 2021 show season and beyond. To be eligible to participate in sanctioned Junior Holstein Shows, the July 15 deadline must be met.
A transfer deadline of July 15 aligns more closely with most of the other dairy breed associations. The extended deadline also allows Juniors an extra month and a half to purchase their show calves, providing additional marketing opportunities.
"We wanted to remind people that the Junior transfer deadline changed last year," said Holstein Association Youth Programs Specialist Kelli Dunklee. "It is important to remember the change only impacts Junior Holstein Shows-4-H and other youth shows may have different deadlines."
Any ownership transfer not received by the Holstein Association office on or before July 15 will not be eligible for Junior Holstein Shows.
