We are offering a tagging day on Thursday, May 31 2018, 4-7 p.m. at the fairgrounds in Crete for all market lambs/market meat goats to be eligible for the Rate of Gain contests. It is no longer mandatory that Extension staff complete the tagging and DNA.
Market sheep and goats exhibited at State Fair or Ak-Sar-Ben need to be nominated with a DNA sample and Scrapie tag. DNA samples will be taken this day or you may pull your own sample if you do not wish to be included in the Rate of Gain contests. Cost of the DNA is $6.00 per animal. If completing your own DNA envelopes, these MUST be at the Extension Office no later than JUNE 15th with online nomination complete by midnight, June 15th using www.showstockmgr.com.
