New this year! If you bring an animal that already has an 840 tag, please alert the committee so they can record this tag number for the official fair records. The animal should NOT be tagged with another 840 tag and a different tag will be used.

All Market Lambs & Goats must be tagged and weighed at Lamb & Goat Registration on June 3 from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Hog Barn on the fairgrounds. All animals must go across the scales. If the exhibitor is unable to attend, someone else can bring their animal(s) for them. There is no paperwork for youth to complete and bring with them to weigh-in. After registration, exhibitors will be responsible for completing the online entry process using the Fair Ear Tag # by June 30. Back-up animals must be tagged and registered by the deadline. For entry help: go.osu.edu/entryhelp.
