:: New Percentage Rule for ACA Sponsored Shows

• Breeding cattle born on or after January 1, 2012 must have a minimum of 6.25% Chianina blood in order to participate in ACA nationally sponsored shows or sales. Breeding cattle with less that 6.25% Chianina blood are still eligible for registration and may still be shown or sold at any show or sale other than ACA nationally sponsored shows or sales. Nationally sponsored shows or sales include the following: The Southewestern Stock Show & Rodeo held in Ft. Worth; the Junior National; the National Show in Louisville; and the National Western Stock Show in Denver.
• Please note cattle born before January 1, 2012 that have less that 6.25% Chianina may still show in ACA nationally sponsored shows.
• If you have questions regarding this, please contact the ACA staff or any ACA Board Member.

The American Chianina Association was officially organized in June 1972 in Kansas City, MO. The original ACA office was located in Blue Springs, MO, until November 1982, when a permanent ACA National Headquarters was built in Platte City, MO. The primary purpose of the ACA is to register and transfer seedstock and maintain records of pedigrees in the breed's herdbook. The National staff promotes the breed at various livestock events around the country, as well as publishes a breed magazine and other promotional publications as a service to the association's membership.
