Market Livestock Weight Check Schedule

It is important to monitor the growth rate on your market livestock projects (beef, sheep, goats, swine), especially with the rate-of-gain requirements in effect for the 2012 Fair. If you would like to check your animal’s weights, the scale will be open at the Howard County Fairgrounds on the following dates:

· Mon, June 25th from 6 p.m. -8 p.m.

· Mon, July 9th from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.

· Thur, July 19th from 6 p.m. -8 p.m.

· Wed, July 25th from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.

Please keep in mind that a weight check will be canceled if the heat index will be 95 degrees or higher.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING YOUR ANIMAL, SO BRING ENOUGH HELP!! We also ask that you arrive by 7:45 p.m. to be in line for weight check.
