This form applies to all livestock projects (market or breeding) in which the animal(s) is housed away from the exhibitor’s home.
Housing away from home is defined as ‘any amount of time where an animal(s) is taken care of away from the exhibitor’s home location with the exception of shows/exhibitions.
If the animal is shown in another exhibition, the exhibitor must not show a breeding project as a market project or visa versa.
Cooperator is defined as ‘the owner/operator of the facility where the animal(s) will be housed.’
Any exhibitor found to be housing their animal away from home without a completed form will loose the right to show and sell any project at the Waterford, Washington County, and Barlow Fairs for the duration of the project year.
Form is due to the Extension Office, 202 Davis Ave., Marietta, no later than 4:30pm on April 15th of the project year. One form each year per project.
