Not all breeds may be present at all shows. Some shows combine two or more breeds into a division called All Other Purebred when few entries are expected in those breeds.

Besides age classes, shows may have group classes in which animals are sorted by criteria other than age. Group classes commonly seen are “Get of Sire” (all sired by the same buck), “Produce of Dam” (all having the same dam), “Dam and Daughter,” “Dairy Herd” (all owned by the same person), “Breeder’s Trio” (all bred by the same person), and “Best Udder.” The final class of the day is usually “Best in Show,” in which the judge selects a winner from the Grand Champions of each breed.
