Several dates including tagging, weigh-in, and MQP conclusion have changed!
A Greek philosopher once said, “the only constant in life is change.” If you plan to participate in large animal market livestock projects at the 2024 Fairfield County Jr. Fair, that couldn’t be truer.
Due to a quirk in the 2024 calendar, some historic calendar conflicts, and the move to harvesting the Beef Performance and Carcass Quality animals in 2024 several adjustments have been made to the calendar for goat, lamb, swine, beef and dairy feeder project participants. In 2024 weigh-in and tagging will be held the last Saturday in June, and the schedule for the MQP projects will also change. Specifically, the dates for 2024 that were approved by the Sr. Fair Board at their November 4th meeting include:
March 9: Market Beef weigh-in
May 18: Goat MQP weigh-in
June 29: Dairy feeder weigh-in, market goat tag check-in, market hog (including MQP) tag check-in, market lamb (including MQP) tag check-in.
August 25: Goat MQP conclusion
September 1: Lamb MQP conclusion
September 8: Barrow MQP conclusion
September 24: Beef Performance & Carcass Quality (beef carcass contest) conclusion
October 1: If participation exceeds capacity for the 24th, date for second Beef Performance & Carcass Quality (beef carcass contest) conclusion
Place these dates on your calendar and more information and detail about tagging and weigh-in will be released as soon as it becomes available.
