Due to the challenges of COVID-19 for families and educators, the extension of restricted in person 4-H events through June 15, and the closures of offices and schools, 4-H and FFA, in consultation with the Nebraska State Fair Livestock Committee, have decided to extend the state fair livestock nomination deadline from June 15 to July 1. Exhibitors will be required to submit their DNA envelopes to their county office or FFA Advisor and have completed their online nomination through https://showstockmgr.com/ along with submitting payment online by 11:59 PM CST on July 1.
Extension Staff and FFA Advisors must have completed DNA envelopes in their possession by July 1. Those staff will then be required to postmark all DNA envelopes to the Aksarben Stock Show office by July 6 and have all nominations validated by Friday, July 10 in Show Stock Manager.
