The Extra Mile gives MI Cattlemen Showcase Series exhibitors opportunities to go beyond the show ring by building their knowledge, leadership, communication skills, creativity, and more through educational activities and contests throughout the season.

Please review the Extra Mile Rules & Information for participant requirements, points, contest opportunities, and host requirements.

Additional Extra Mile educational contests will be added throughout the season as they are approved. Contest opportunities and details will be posted at least 45 days prior to the show. Check back throughout the season for new opportunities.

NEW THIS YEAR: Shows interested in hosting an Extra Mile educational contest must complete the Extra Mile Host Form & Agreement through Showman.
