All animals to be shown at the Hardin County Fair and State Fair must fill out a Livestock ID form and turn it into the Extension Office by May 15th. There is an ID form for Breeding Beef, Breeding Sheep, Market Swine, Dairy, Dairy Goat, Meat Goat, Horse and Pony, Dog, and Llama. Exception: market beef and swine that were previously weighed in are already on file at the office and sheep ID’s will be filed after the sheep weigh-in May 3rd. If you are planning on showing at the Iowa State Fair all information must be recorded. Livestock ID forms can be mailed, faxed (641-648-4862) or dropped off after hours in our “drop off” box outside the north office door.
