A. A live purchase must be shown within the 1 1⁄2 (18 months) year period of eligibility which begins immediately on the date of purchase.

B. Embryos have a 3 year window of eligibility of use however the 1 1⁄2 year eligibility window for earning show credits begins at the time the embryo/calf reaches 8 months of age. All eligible purchase credits must still fall within the extended 3 year embryo eligibility and any wins or show participation that fall outside of that are not eligible to receive a credit.

3) Validated proof of show participation must be provided to WSA along with proof of purchase from a WSA sanctioned sale to receive any credits.

5) A Junior purchase is eligible to earn a maximum of $600.00 per purchase to be utilized as a purchase credit over a 2 year period. The exception would be either a placement of grand or reserve grand at the National level, which will allow for a credit of $1,000.00 or $750.00 respectively.
