Animals entered in market beef entry classes shall be raised to be sold at market and shall be shown by weight. Entries may include beef, crossbred beef, dairy beef cross or dairy beef breeds. A fair board may establish classes based on breed or sex. A fair board may establish weight limits for each entry class. If 11 or more animals are entered in any entry class, that class may be divided into 2 or more approximately equal subclasses and each subclass may be judged as a separate class. An exhibitor may enter up to 3 animals under this subsection, and may receive up to 2 premiums in any entry class under this subsection. For each class established under this subsection, a fair may pay first-place to fourth-place premiums of $8.00, $7.00, $6.00 and $5.00 respectively.

The fair board may subdivide entry classes as appropriate. All entry classes shall be judged using the Danish judging system.
