Reminder: there is no state validation for rabbits – if you would like to show rabbits, you will need to work on looking into the show rules and age requirements to work on purchasing rabbits and work on entries. It is a good idea to start visiting with breeders now and as you learn more about the shows you would like to attend.
Reminder: Another validation tag order will be placed in the fall for lamb, goat, swine, and heifer projects attending the spring major shows.
All tags for Steers, Summer Heifers, State Fair Swine, and State Fair Lambs/Goats are due to the County Extension Office (CEO) by Wednesday, April 15th at $20 each.
This will be the only validation for steers – if you would like to show a steer at ANY major show, you will need to purchase tags and validate the animal(s).
This will be the first of 2 heifer validations – you may validate your heifer now to exhibit her in the State Fair or Heart of Texas shows or wait until the fall. Heifers that were previously validated do NOT need to be revalidated unless they changed breed or ownership.
If you are planning to exhibit a lamb, goat, or hog at the State Fair or Heart of Texas Shows, you will need to purchase tags and validate the animal(s). These animals will need to be revalidated in the fall if you would like to show them in the spring major shows.
Late Tag orders will be accepted after April 15th until Wednesday, May 13th, at $30 each.
Fillable PDF Order Forms are linked below – families may physically bring the order forms & payment, mail them, or place them online through our Eventbrite websites (there is a small fee to use credit cards) by the dates listed.
