Swine Identification and Weigh In For County Fair
There are two ways that 4-H & FFA members can identify hogs for the Swine Show at the Allamakee County Fair.
1. The Swine Weigh-In will be held on Saturday, March 30 at the fairgrounds from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Members need to attend the weigh-in if they want to participate in the Rate of Gain Contest or Derby Class. Exhibitors may show 1 barrow and 1 gilt in the derby show on show day.
2. Members can self-tag swine by picking up tags and a tagger from the Extension Office between April 15-May 15. All swine ID forms must be completed and returned to the Extension Office with pictures by May 15. Exhibitors will be furnished with 6 tags. Additional tags cost $1.25 each. Each exhibitor may identify up to 12 pigs. Members who self-tag pigs are not eligible for Rate-of-Gain or Derby class.
