Due to the widespread flooding and challenging winter weather across the state, the State Fair Market Beef nomination deadline has been extended to June 15 to coincide with all other species. This deadline will be for all 4-H and FFA State Fair animals. Please extend the deadlines for your county shows as well. Our partners in FFA have also shared this information with their Advisors.
We hope this change will help support many of our families whose decisions may be in flux during the recovery. All tagging and DNA requirements will remain as the same. If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to ask me.
Our hearts go out to those affected by the last week. We are hopeful that state fair livestock shows can provide an opportunity for normalcy and hope for our families.
