Market sheep and goats for the 2012 Washington County Fair were weighed in recently with many Washington County 4-H and FFA members taking part.  Amy Green with the Washington County Extension says a total of 38 children weighed and tagged a total of 214 sheep with another 28 weighing and tagging 62 head of meat goats.

This weigh-in is to make sure their sheep and goats fit the requirements for show at the fair.

A total of 101 sheep and 31 goats were nominated for the Iowa State Fair through retinal scans.  These animals will be shown at the Washington County Fair, which will be July 15th through the 20th.
