Are you planning on exhibiting a Market Beef project at the Ohio State Fair in 2021? If so, you will need to schedule an appointment with Andrea (740-397-0401 or rees.139@osu.edu) at the OSU Extension Office to pick up an EID/DNA Kit. The Ohio State Fair has agreed to extend the deadline for receiving DNA kits for market beef to January 30th, 2020. They will continue to monitor COVID and update as necessary.
PLEASE REMEMBER: These tags are for youth intending to show market beef at the Ohio State Fair ONLY. They are not for county-only or BEST-only exhibition. State Fair provides these tags at no cost. If number of EID tags given out continues to be much greater than youth that show at the State Fair, they may not provide tags in the future or only based on counties’ participation numbers in previous years.
