The Market sheep, goats (meat and dairy market), and swine tagging event is at the fairgrounds.
SWINE will NOT be unloaded. Staff and volunteers will enter trailers to tag and disinfect equipment between trailers. Swine will be tagged on the south side of the Event Center. Families are welcome to tag their animals at home and then bring them to the tag-in for verification.
MARKET SHEEP and GOATS (meat and dairy market) will be IDed and weighed at the Sheep & Goat Barn located north of the Pavilion. Sheep and goats should be led to the southeast corner of the barn. Scrapies tags are the form of identification for sheep and goats.
If you plan to show swine, goats or sheep at State Fair, you must submit a DNA sample from your animal and use an EID tag for swine ($3) and scrapies tags for goats and sheep. Ask for a DNA kit at tag-in. Families must enter DNA data into the State Fair website and pay the fees by June 15. If you have any questions, please contact us at 632-1480.
Tags are $1 each for county only or $3 for EID tags.
