Validation of County Show Animals
Lamb, Goat, Breeding Sheep
The details of the county show have not been finalized, but a deadline for validation is approaching on August 19. If you plan to exhibit a lamb or goat at the county show and have that same animal eligible for major shows the deadlines are as follows:
- Tags ordered by August 19 will cost $15.00.
- Tags ordered August 19 to September 30 will cost $25.00.
- Tags ordered after Oct 1 will cost $30.00.
We highly recommend every one planning to show a lamb, goat, or breeding sheep, order a state validation tag so you will be eligible to exhibit your animal in more than just our county show. Another option is to order a county only tag for $5.00 by October 1.
Swine
Swine exhibitors should order state tags on or before September 20 for a cost of $15.00. Tags ordered after September 21 will cost $20.00. Another option is to order a county only tag for $5.00 by October 15.
Steer
If you missed the state steer validation and want to exhibit a steer you will have one more opportunity to validate your steer in October. The deadline to order a tag is October 1.
Please remember we think ordering state validation tags is the best and most flexible option for our 4-H members.
