All 4-H/FFA market beef ID’s/DNA are due April 15.
Market beef being identified for Nebraska State Fair and AKSARBEN Stock Show will be tagged with an EID tag. DNA will still be required as usual at $6 per market animal. Paper identification forms are no longer required for Nebraska State Fair or AKSARBEN animals — the DNA will serve as the nomination.
All county-only 4-H/FFA livestock will need a paper animal identification form (also called ownership affidavit). Market beef will be ear tagged. Tags can be picked up at the Extension office.
All 4-H/FFA market animals carrying an EID tag are required to have a Premises ID. A Premises ID number can be obtained through the Nebraska Department of Agriculture by calling
1-800-572-2437. Only one Premises ID is necessary for a family with multiple exhibitors (provided livestock are housed at the same location). Only one Premises ID is necessary for an exhibitor that shows multiple species (provided livestock are housed at the same location).
