DIXON, CA (MPG) - Attention Future Farmers of America, 4-H, and all youth who intend to exhibit market livestock at the 2022 Dixon May Fair: You must have your animal pre-tagged in order to compete during the fair, May 5-8, 2022.

Entry into the market goats, market lambs and market swine classes will be accepted online only at www.dixonmayfair.com starting now and ending March 4, 2022 or if barn space has reached capacity, whichever comes first.

Exhibitors may tag any number of large market animals, but they must fill out an entry form and pay the entry fee for each market animal tagged. You may only bring 2 market animals (large or small) to the fair.

FFA advisors, 4-H leaders, Grange leaders and/or parents of independent juniors must pick up tags for the entered animals between March 15, 2022 and March 31, 2022. (Weekdays only between 8 am to noon and 1 pm to 5 pm.)

Tags will be pre-assigned to the animals by fair staff and must be placed in the animal’s ear prior to arrival on the fairgrounds for the fair. The animals must be entered into the fair to receive a tag. A Bill of Sale with the animal’s birthdate must be turned in when picking up tags.

Rabbit and poultry market animal owners must submit an online entry that includes the birthdate and leg band/tattoo numbers along with entry fees, a Bill of Sale, and photo of the animal(s) to the Fair office by April 5.
