The date for livestock identification and weigh-in has been announced.<\/p>\n

Sheep, goat, and dairy feeder weigh-in will be Saturday, June 4, at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. Dairy feeders will weigh in at the Beef Barn and sheep and goats will weigh at the Hog Barn. Animals will weigh in from 7:30-10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Exhibitors do not have to be present with their animals to identify it and weigh in, but the animal must attend weigh-in to be eligible to participate in the Junior Fair.<\/p>\n

All exhibitors should enter off of Fox Road and will then receive further instructions once they have entered. Once parked, exhibitors should wait until their animals are identified before they cross the scales. Sheep and goat exhibitors may directly enter the scales as their identification is their USDA scrapies tag. Weigh-in will begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Hog exhibitors will be asked to pick up identification tags for their animals and return the paperwork and required photo identification, in lieu of physically tagging on location. No hogs are to be brought onto the fairgrounds for any of the tagging events. FFA members will be given tags by their advisors. 4-H members can pick up their tags on June 4 during the weigh-in for dairy feeders, goats, and sheep at the south end of the fairgrounds near the Farm Focus Arena. Tags can be picked up between 8 and 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
