Knox County Large Beef Weigh-In - February 29, 2020

4-H/FFA Large Beef Weigh Day
Saturday, February 29, 2020, 9-11 a.m.
Bloomfield Vet Clinic

Anyone wishing to participate in the Knox County 4-H/FFA Rate-of-Gain Contest must have their animals weighed and tagged at the official Weigh Day on Saturday, February 29 from 9-11 a.m. at the Bloomfield Vet Clinic.  This includes market beef animals and second-year bucket calves.

Animals to be exhibited at State Fair will be tagged with an 840 EID tag and DNA samples will be collected. EID tags will be available at weigh-in. Cost for each DNA sample is $7.00 and $1.00 for the EID tag. If you tag your animal with an EID tag, then the county ear tag is not required.  County tags will be available for $1.00 each.

 Please call the Extension Office by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 28 if you plan to weigh calves.  PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

If you do not plan to participate in the Rate-of-Gain Contest and plan to show only at the County Fair, you only need to have your animal tagged with a county ear tag and the ID form into the Extension Office by June 15.  Ear tags are $1.00 each and available from the Extension Office. ID forms are available from the office or online at https://extension.unl.edu/statewide/knox/livestock-affidavits/
