4-h-ffa

4-H and FFA sheep and goat exhibitors need to mark these dates for the official weigh-in and start dates to their market projects. Goat weigh-in is Thursday, May 4, from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the goat barn. Lambs will weigh in on Saturday, May 6, from 8:30– 10:30 am at the north hog barn on the Washington County Fairgrounds. There is a charge of $2.00 per ear tag paid at weigh-in. All market lambs, feeder lambs, meat goats & dairy wethers must be weighed and tagged at these spring weigh-ins. All commercial ewe lambs and meat goat does must be tagged to be eligible to be shown at the Washington County Fair. 4-H families have the Animal Identification deadline of Monday, May 15th, to enter all weigh-in data or breeding animal information to 4hOnline. Contact the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811 with any questions about the spring weigh-ins or how to get involved as a volunteer or sponsor for 4-Hers and their livestock projects.
