Sent,
Good afternoon!
It is hard to believe that school is going to be starting right around the corner. That also means that the Fall Validation tag order is due to kick off as well. Species that we will be validating are heifers, lambs, goats, and swine. However, there are some changes with validation this year, they are listed below.
- Please remember to fill out the order form ONE time. If you need to add to your order, call the office. IF YOU HAVE DUPLICATE ORDER, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING THE DUPLICATES AS WELL AND THEY MUST BE PAID FOR 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO VALIDATION!
Here is the order form: 2023 Fall Validation Tag Order form
New for 2023
1. Payment for tags that are ordered MUST be received by the Extension office 2 weeks prior to validation. If we have not received payment prior to validation, you MAY NOT receive your tag. Payment is due when order is placed!!! NO EXCEPTION!!
2. Sheep & Goats: Lambs and goats validated in June for State Fair will be eligible for the 2024 spring major shows. Meaning they will not have to be revalidated in October, unless the following happens.
- a. Ownership changes
- b. If a TLBA/TGBA tag is acquired after the June Validation.
- c. This is for meat goat breeds only. Dairy goats do not have to be state validated!!
3. Heifers: Starting in 2023 heifers will now be receiving an EID tag for validation. Heifers that are already validated will NOT have to be revalidated. Revalidation is a MUST for the following reasons:
- a. Ownership changes
- b. Breed registration changes
Google order form.
For sheep, goats, and swine we are no longer ordering for either breeding or market animals. We are going to order as species. (Example if you have 1 breeding sheep and 1 market sheep you will order 2 sheep tags.)
