Why is the animal nominating, also referred to as naming, process required?
The purpose of the nominating process is to allow the breeder to choose the animal(s) they feel have the best bucking potential. Once the breeder has nominated the animal and has paid for a position (spot) in the AHF, that specific animal is then eligible to participate. Once the bull has been nominated, that spot is reserved for that bull only. If the position is sold, only the nominated bull is eligible to participate under that spot. There are no bull substitutions. The purchaser of the bull and position is then responsible for maintaining the payments according to the schedule if they wish to maintain the bull’s eligibility. If the animal and spot are sold, the animal must be transferred into the buyers name and a signed letter from the seller must be sent to the office notifying ABBI of the transfer of the animal and sale of spot.
