Market Beef Weigh-In December 7

Weigh-In for all Market Beef projects is scheduled for December 7 from 9am to 11am.

EID tags are $10 each but if you already have an EID tag in, the cost is $5/head. Pour-on wormer will be available for an additional cost and a local vet will be onsite for BVD testing (optional) for an additional cost.

Yes! We are aware that the BEST AGR show conflicts with our date. If you will be in Columbus at the AGR, please email the Beef Committee at greenecountybeef@gmail.com by 5pm on December 6 with the following information:

  • Exhibitor Name
  • Phone Number that you can be reached at that day in Columbus

You will be connected with Jeff Barr, who has volunteered to scan your EID tag in Columbus that day. Jeff will complete your check-in process. However, if you choose this option and do not cross the scale in Greene County, your project is not eligible for the Rate of Gain during the Fair.

Please do not forget to enroll in 4-H Online, too!
