Livestock Affadavits
The Nebraska State Fair 4-H Animal Identification Guidelines Chart is helpful for knowing the requirements and timelines for tags or tattoos, ear notches and DNA needed for each species of animal. The deadline for HORSE IDs is May 15, 2024. For BEEF, GOATS, SHEEP and SWINE the deadline is June 2, 2024.
Tags can be picked up at the appropriate Extension Office (Chase County, 490 E. 5th Street, Imperial, or Perkins County, 76025 Road 329, Grant) at any time.
The ID forms can be printed at home, filled and signed. Please drop off forms and a picture of the animal with its ID tag at the appropriate Extension Office (Chase County, 490 E. 5th Street, Imperial, or Perkins County, 76025 Road 329, Grant) or email forms and pictures to the appropriate office (dstamm3@unl.edu for Chase County or kathy.mailand@unl.edu for Perkins County).
Remember, all forms with signature lines must be signed.
