Validation, Tag Orders, and Deadlines

Cattle, Lamb, and Goat Validation is overseen by the FBC State Validation Committee, who are responsible for State Validation for Fort Bend County 4-H, as well as any FFA chapters for schools zoned to Fort Bend County including, FBISD, LCISD, Needville ISD, applicable schools in Katy ISD, and Stafford MSD.

 

State Validation is required for Texas Major Shows such as Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Heart O’ Texas, Rodeo Austin, Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, and more. See all Major Shows here.

We do NOT validate for the Fort Bend County Fair or Needville Youth Fair.
(See “Other” page for links to those shows for info)
