The County Fair Tag in is just less than a week away. I was in the office this morning and was taking several phone calls. On the county website ( http://kaufman-co.tamu.edu/pubcat.cfm?COUNTY=Kaufman&CatID=632 ) we have the county fair entry sheets for you to print down. DO NOT JUST FILL OUT AND MAIL TO THE SHOWBOARD. You have to have them signed by the Extension Agent!! Last year we almost had two entries rejected because they were not signed by the 4-H agent and were just sent in.
Frequently asked questions about county fair tag in.
1. What animals need to come to the fairgrounds on Saturday?
Market Goats, Un Registered Commercial Boer Does, Market Hogs, Market Lambs
2. Which goats need to be tagged in?
Market Goats for the Market show need to be tagged in. Dairy Goats and Nigerian Dwarf Goats will enter on the "Breeding Animal" entry form. If you have a Commercial Boer Doe that is registered IN YOUR NAME (just like a heifer) then you can use the "Breeding Animal" form. If your commercial Boer Doe is not registered then you need to tag in the doe.
3. What about my Rabbit Entries?
Eventhough we are just now breeding our does for the Meat Pens you HAVE to turn in your entry for how many pens you want to enter for the county fair. This is done on the Market Pens Rabbit Entry form. Your Breeding Rabbits will be also entered in and if they are not born yet put down "pending" for the birthdate stuff. They will be entered on the Breeding Rabbit form. Again all of the forms need to be signed by me to make them complete for entry into the county fair.
4. Broiler Pens? Where do I get my chicks?
When you fill out the Broiler entry form the FFA advisor from Scurry Rosser will order your chicks for you and they will come in last part of February for you to start to raise for the county fair. So you will order in multiples of 25 for $1.30 each chick then you will pay for how many pens you want to have in the show. So if you order 25 chick you will pay $32.50 and then you will enter how ever many pens at $7 each pen of 3 for the show.
5. The Breeding Animal entry form...
This entry form is for Breeding heifers, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, REGISTERED Commercial Does, and Dairy Goats. Make sure the information is correct and Breeding Heifer entries must include a copy of the registration papers.
