Steer weigh-ins this week at fairgrounds

The Van Wert County Junior Fair Board reminds all steer exhibitors for the 2012 Van Wert County Junior Fair that steer weigh-in is this Saturday, January 14, from 8-10 a.m. Weigh-in will take place on the fairgrounds by the beef barn.

Show steers, dairy steers and performance steers possession is January 1, and exhibitors may weigh up to five steers from each class.

Steer exhibitors wanting to take a steer to the Ohio State Fair in 2012 must submit a legible nose print to the Ohio State Fair Livestock Office. The Van Wert County 4-H will be collecting signed nose print cards at the steer weigh-in to send to the State Fair.

In case of inclement weather, check the Van Wert County Junior Fair’s Facebook page for cancellation information.
