Reminders!
Beef |
Goats, Hogs, and Lambs |
|
Beef must be fully castrated and healed by the Initial Weigh-In.
|
Castration of Lambs, Goats and Hogs must be initiated before Initial Weigh-in and they must be fully castrated and healed prior to Final Weigh-In.
|
Castration means that the testicles are severed completely from the body. Un-castrated, stag or short-sacked animals will not be tagged.
If an animal is suspected of not being fully castrated at the Fair Weigh-in/Market Show the Auction Committee reserves the right to remove the animal from the Market Show and Sale. If there is a dispute the owner of the animal can hire, at their expense a veterinarian to confirm proper castration was completed.

Beef Rate of Gain Contest
- Rate of Gain contest is completely optional and in no way tied to eligibility to show your animal or sell it at the auction.
- Individuals must indicate if they want to participate in the ROG contest at registration for initial beef weigh-in.
- In order for an individual's steer to be eligible for the ROG it must weigh at least 700lbs at 1st weigh in on February 4, 2023.
- ROG winner will be determined at fair by dividing the difference of final weight and initial weight by the number of days in between the two weigh-ins.
- There will be one rate of gain winner in beef each year. No separation between 4H and FFA
- A tie in the final rate of gain will be determined by the highest placing in the show, not by ribbon awarded.
- The winner of the ROG contest will receive a buckle and a $100 premium as well as having their steer marked as ROG champion in the sale catalog.
