4-H/FFA sheep and goat exhibitors should mark these dates for the official weigh-in and start dates to their market projects.  Goat weigh-in is May 2 from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at the goat barn.  Lambs will weigh in on May 4 from 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. on the Washington County Fairgrounds.  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. There is a charge of $3.00 per ear tag paid at the weigh-in. 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.
