What does this mean?

wether/commercial dams, and wether/commercial does will have 3 total years of
eligibility UNLESS A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TAKES PLACE. This will be
offered during major show validation as well. Put plainly- if you validate for
State Fair during the June 2021 validation period, your validation will be
eligible until June 2024, unless a change of ownership occurs during that time-
then you must re-validate. If you validate during the October 2021 validation
period for major shows, your validation will be eligible until October 2024,
unless a change of ownership occurs during that time- then you must
re-validate.
