As we are making our way through the planning stages for the 2020 Fulton County Fair, the decision was made to identify Jr. Fair animals on weigh-in day vs prior to Fair at a Tag-in event. Therefore, the June 6 and August 1 Fulton County Junior Fair Tag-In/Tattoo events have been Cancelled. This includes June 6: roaster rabbits, market goats, market hogs, market and born and raised lambs, and feeder calves and August 1: fryer rabbits.
Junior Fair will identifying Fulton County Jr. Fair market animals on weigh-in day at the species scales (except for goats, this will be determined mid summer). DUNF forms for all species will be collected at the respective species Fair check-in scales and not at the vet check due to needing to write IDs on the DUNF forms and they won’t be assigned at the vet check yet.
Market Rabbits: Jr. Fair will write the exhibitor’s back tag number in the rabbit’s ear with a sharpie at Fair check-in to avoid confusion on the show table. This means no tattoos will be required for market rabbits in 2020 only!
Market Goats: An email will be sent to market goat exhibitors with more information later in the summer when we have a plan in place for goats. Please hold off tattooing market goats with a permanent ID of exhibitor’s choice.
Market Hogs, Feeder Calves, Market and Born and Raised Lambs: Jr. Fair will tag these animals with a Fulton County Junior Fair issued EID tag when the animal arrives for weigh in on September 3. Exhibitors are not responsible for getting their own permanent ID for these animals.
