2012 Tagging for the Weber County Fair:
All swine, beef and sheep must be tagged to exhibit in the Weber County Fair. During tagging, a numbered ear tag is put in the animal's ear to prove the exhibit has owned the animal the minimal period required for the show (90 days prior for beef and 60 days prior for swine and sheep). The tagging dates are:
Steer/Bucket Calf/Swine: Anderson Livestock Auction (the new location), 1251 W 7800 S, Willard. Directions: It is about 2 1/2 miles past Smith and Edwards. Take Hwy. 89 North to 7800 South. Turn west and it is just under the freeway.
- Wednesday, May 2, 2012 (5 p.m. - 7 p.m.)
- Saturday, May 5, 2012 (8 a.m. - 10 a.m.)
Sheep/Swine: Weber County Fairground (Show Arena)
- Wednesday, June 6, 2012 (5 p.m. - 7 p.m.)
- Saturday, June 9, 2012 (8 a.m. - 10 a.m.)
Tagging for State Junior Livestock Shows:
To be eligible to show at any of the state Junior Livestock Shows, or to show at the Utah State Fair, your animal must be tagged with a state tag (this is different from the Weber County Fair tag).
- The tagging deadline for state shows differs from the Weber County deadline. To be eligible to exhibit a project animal at a Utah State Junior Livestock show or the Utah State Fair show, the minimum tagging deadline is:
- beef (100 days)
- swine and sheep (60 days)
- All animals should be tagged on the Weber County tagging dates in May & June. However, if you plan to participate in the Spanish Fork, Delta or Vernal Shows (which have an earlier tagging deadline), you will need to have your animal tagged before the regular county tagging.
-
Utah rules state, EXHIBITORS MAY TAG ONE EXTRA ANIMAL PER SPECIES FOR EACH SHOW PERIOD. At tagging you will declare which state show the animal is being tagged for.
