With the Adair County Fair coming up in a few months there are some deadlines for livestock and other animal exhibitors should be aware of. 

Youth Coordinator Valrie Jaehrling tells Raccoon Valley Radio that 4H’ers need to sign up by May 15th to get their animal identified for the county fair in July. She describes what types of things they are looking for when 4-H’ers register their animals.  

“We’re not saying what classes they’re going to be in at the county fair. We just need identifying information on these animals that you own and these are the animals. You have dairy, goats, dairy, cattle, dogs, horses, meat, goats, sheep, swine and all beef other than market beef because the market beef was identified back in February.”

Jaehrling says that the Extension office will be closed tomorrow  and the weekend so if anyone needs help to stop by the office today. All the animals will be registered on 4H Online by Sunday.
