Single Validation Tag and Validation forms for
sheep and goats.
o
All Market Lambs, Market Goats, Breeding Sheep,
Wether Dams, Breeding Goats, and Wether Does will use the same RFID
validation tag.
o
All Market Lambs,
Market Goats, Breeding Sheep, Wether Dams, Breeding Goats, and Wether Does will
be on the same form.
o Any
BREEDING animal validated during the Fall 2021 validation period is eligible to
be exhibited by that exhibitor through the Fall 2024 show season. IF OWNERSHIP
CHANGES, THEN THE ANIMAL MUST BE RE-VALIDATED.
o THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO MARKET LAMS AND GOATS!!!
o Beginning June 1, 2021, registered breeding sheep,
registered breeding goats, wether/commercial dams, and wether/commercial does
will have 3 total years of eligibility UNLESS A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TAKES
PLACE. Breeding
animals validated for State Fair in June do not have to be revalidated for
major shows. Put plainly- if you validate for State Fair during the June
2021 validation period, your validation will be eligible until June 2024,
unless a change of ownership occurs during that time- then you must
re-validate.
o
All sheep and goats are eligible for family validation. Registered sheep and goats can family validate
if the registration papers have all exhibitors full names listed as
owners. Registration paper ownership will determine the exhibitors
eligible to show that project.
o
MARKET LAMBS AND GOATS VALIDATED FOR THE STATE
FAIR OF TEXAS MUST BE REVALIDATED FOR THE 2022-2023 SPRING/WINTER MAJOR SHOWS.
STATE FAIR OF TEXAS MARKET LAMB AND GOAT VALIDATION TAGS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
AT THE MAJOR SHOWS.
o
No validation will occur for registered breeding
animals unless the ORIGINAL registration papers are present at the physical
validation.
