Crops, horticulture plants, swine, sheep, goats, beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses and any other animal may be counted in the awards program.

3 The above points may be earned only once where animals are exhibited in a junior and open show at the same event.
4 Points earned from money won shall be counted from premium money only. No points may be earned from sponsorship-type money. Points may not be counted for any event other than when the animal or crop owned and cared for by the FFA member is exhibited. No points may be counted from any show where the FFA member (owner) did not personally exhibit the animals. The only exception would be in a situation where two animals owned by the exhibitor are shown at the same time and place.
5. Points for showing a horse may be accumulated based on one point per dollar earned, points awarded by breed-approved shows, county fair-approved shows, and Saddle Club Association-approved shows.
