*Youth may pick up poultry leg bands from the office before July 1.

*Rabbits will need to have an identifying tattoo in their ear. Rabbits need to be tattooed by July 1. Fresh tattoos at the fair will result in the disqualification of the animal being shown. A tattoo plier is available for use from the office. Please call ahead to ensure availability.

*Add in the leg band or tattoo numbers for each “entry/set”

(i.e. rabbits is a pen of 3– add tattoo numbers for all three (R1, R2, R3), etc.). If a second entry will be possibly made-add tattoo numbers for the next set as well.
