Attention Livestock & Horse Exhibitors,
As we get ready for another great Fair, here are a few important reminders for check-in weekend.
We will be conducting weigh-ins the same way we always have.
• Sheep, Goats & Swine: Please line up trailers at the small animal scale outside the sheep and swine barns (the semi-circle by the railroad ties).
• Beef: Please line up at the large animal scale by the cattle tie-outs, just like tag-in day.
No unloading until you’ve been vet checked. Our veterinarians will go trailer-to-trailer to complete health inspections before any animals are unloaded. We have plenty of replacement boot covers available and can switch them out as needed, especially for swine exhibitors.
