Hartford Steer / Heifer Weigh-In Update…

 We’re looking forward to seeing some of you THIS SATURDAY at weigh-in (January 20 / 9am-12pm). In preparation for the new processing location, I wanted to pass along a few details. Please read through the bullet points below carefully, in hopes that it will make your weigh-in experience less stressful. As you have questions, please feel free to contact me. I’m more than happy to help in any way that I can!

  •  Watch for signs posted on Saturday – in case last minute changes are needed…
  •  TRAFFIC PATTERN: We are planning to bring in all trailers through the Gate C, with trailers coming toward Grubb Arena, circling around the right side (next to the horse arena), then behind the sheep and goat barn prior to heading West toward the Beef Barn. You will then turn left to drive along the front / West end of the Grubb Arena.
  •  UNLOADING / LOADING: When you arrive to the West end of Grubb Arena, you will be asked to unload your steer/heifer in front of the Kohman Wing door, take them in to the weigh-in and tagging area, then re-load at the Grubb Arena door. This will involve moving the trailer between unloading and loading. Please realize that with the moving of the trailer, you should not plan to have all persons in the truck enter the processing area, as someone will need to move the trailer forward. This will be important to keeping the process moving in a timely fashion…
  •  Be prepared for weigh-in procedures by knowing the following: (cards will be handed out upon arrival to line-up, and should be completed prior to unloading animals.
    • Exhibitor’s name, address, and 4-H Club / FFA Chapter
    • Is calf “Bred & Owned”  –  did exhibitor own the dam  of calf when the calf was born?
    • Please have exact payment ready – $1 per calf weighed
  •  PLEASE insure that calf can be handled safely – it should be halter broke and have halter on prior to exiting the trailer. If calves are out of out of control and exhibit signs of not being handled, we have the right to refuse weighing / tagging of the calf.

Refer to an earlier article for more information.

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.

Questions? Give us a call at 740-670-5315. In case of inclement weather conditions, listen to WCLT-AM, WHTH-AM, or visit www.licking.osu.edu for an announcement.
