Who Can Participate?
Battle of the Kings and Queens is open to all ages, we will even have an adult division for showmanship. So, kids, it's your turn to make parents show us how it's really done. This show is also open to any showman in the U.S., no matter the state you are from, you are welcome!
Should the Sheep be Fitted for Show?
Yes, the showman and the sheep should look as if they were going to be competing in a regular in-person jackpot show. So, leave the ball cap home, blow out those sheep's legs, and bring out the clippers. All lambs should be slick shorn.
***Also, no banners of previous winnings should be able to be seen in videos or photos for the show.
Is there an entry fee for the show?
Yes, $20 per lamb, and $10 for showmanship.
