Dear 4-H Members and Families,
The Tarrant County Validation Committee has secured October dates for our State Validations. If you planning to show Sheep, Goats, or Heifers at any of the Spring Major Shows (Fort Worth, San Angelo, San Antonio, Houston or Austin) you must validate your animal at one of these dates. These tags also cover TCJLS. We can also tag County-only Livestock Projects (except rabbits) at this validation. If you are ONLY planning to show an animal at TCJLS, you can also validate your animal at the County-only Validation on Saturday, December 4th, 2021.
State Swine Validation will be in November, dates on that have not been set yet. We will notify everyone once they are.
Be sure that you bring all your validation paperwork with you and completed with all signatures needed!! Information on Validation Packets will be coming at a later date!
