Hartford Fair Turkey Pool Information

Please make note that the Hartford Fair Turkey Pool order forms are now available for the 2018 project year. The information below was shared earlier today with our 2017 Licking County 4-H poultry project members.  We are sharing for those that may be new to the project in 2018, as well as FFA members and those who reside in Knox Counties. Please be aware that the deadline of February 2nd is only SIX WEEKS away! Please help me in distributing this information to any youth who may be planning to exhibit market turkeys during the 2018 Hartford Fair.

Yours in 4-H,

Hartford Market Steer/Heifer Weigh-In

TO:                  Potential 2018 Hartford Junior Fair Market Steer / Heifer Exhibitors

FROM:             Lisa D. McCutcheon, Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development

RE:                   2018 STEER / HEIFER WEIGH-IN SCHEDULE & PROCEDURES

All steers and heifers (including Delaware, Knox & Licking Counties) that may be exhibited during the 2018 Hartford Junior Fair Market Steer & Heifer show must be marked by ear tag and tattoo on SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 2018, at the Hartford fairgrounds (Grubb Arena – West End / Enter Gate C) between 9 a.m. and noon. Up to four (4) steers or heifers can be tagged for the Hartford Fair per exhibitor.

SPECIAL NOTE: We would encourage exhibitors and their families to be aware that we are utilizing a new scale location this year (Grubb Arena – West End), and we ask that you be attentive to the new traffic pattern and unloading/loading procedures. As always, we ask that steers be haltered and broke to lead, for the safety of all involved.

Tagging fee is $1.00 per tagged animal. Exhibitors must complete a registration card for each animal, which requires the exhibitor’s signature. If the exhibitor will be unable to attend weigh-in procedures, please stop by the Licking County Extension Office and pick up the registration card(s) to be signed by exhibitor in advance.

Announcement will also be made on the Hartford Fair and Licking County 4-H Facebook pages. Make-up date, if necessary, will be Saturday, January 27, 2018.
