Wayne County Junior Fair Statement about Quarantine and COVID Symptoms

Sheep Carcass Contest Changes

Attention carcass lamb exhibitors! The carcass lambs will now be going to 3-D Custom Meats at 14740 Lincoln Way East, Dalton for processing instead of Boliantz Packing. The lambs will be delivered there after the live show on Saturday, August 28th. The carcass results show will be taking place at 3-D Meats on September 1st at 6:00 PM. 3-D Meats has been very gracious in offering to do this for us on short notice, and are willing to do the same standard cut on the lambs for the same cost as Boliantz Packing has in the past.
