Premise ID for Market Animals

All 4-H/FFA market animals carrying an EID tag are required to have a Premises ID (this includes any that may show at only the county level as well).

A Premises ID number can be obtained through the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. Only one Premises ID is necessary for a family with multiple exhibitors (provided livestock are housed at the same location). Only one Premises ID is necessary for an exhibitor that shows multiple species (provided livestock are housed at the same location).

Any exhibitor who has completed PQA (Pork Quality Assurance) should have a Premises ID. They can call the Nebraska Department of Ag to verify if they believe they have one.

The Premises ID number should correlate to the location in which livestock are kept/housed permanently.

Since breeding animals do not carry EID tags, this is not a requirement for those exhibitors at this time.

The Premises ID number will be reported to county Extension staff for input into 4-H Online.

In order to show at the Nebraska State Fair, a Premises ID must be on file for a market animal exhibitor.
