State Show Livestock Entries
Exhibitors must submit an official entry and pay the entry fees directly through each state show in which they would like to participate. This includes entries for state nominated market animals and commercial breeding females, as well as registered breeding females. A complete nomination does NOT constitute show entry. It only makes animals eligible to subsequently be entered and exhibited in each state show a 4-H or FFA member would like to participate.
The Kansas State Fair Grand Drive entries will be available once nominations close. The link to entry will be available on the Grand Drive and KJLS websites, as well as their social media platforms. Typically, Grand Drive entries open around July 1. Kansas State Fair Grand Drive entries will be due July 15, with KJLS entries due August 15. Animals that are nominated, but exhibitors do not follow the appropriate entry processes set forth by each show and pay their entry fees, will not be permitted to show. Each show manages their own rules and entries.
Families will log in and submit their show entries using the same exhibitor accounts they used for state nominations – including exhibitor name and password. The tag number of each market animal or commercial breeding female an exhibitor would like to enter will be selected as a "validation number" from a list of nominated animals. All entries should be submitted under an exhibitor's name.
For nomination questions, please contact Lexie Hayes at adhayes@ksu.edu. Questions regarding show rules or entries should be directed to each specific show (KSF Grand Drive 620‐669‐3623 or KJLS 785-817-1350).
