2022 FDL County Fair Market Livestock Project Animal Self-Identification Process

  • Exhibitors must self-identify his/her market livestock project animal(s) by tagging the animal with the official Fond du Lac County Fair RFID tags, providing photo documentation of both ear tag placement and project animal, and completing the online animal identification form. 
  • A double ear tag system (one visual ID, and one corresponding RFID tag) will be used. The visual ID tag is to be placed in one ear of the animal. The corresponding RFID tag is to be placed in the opposite ear.  In the case of market lambs and meat goats, the Scrapie Tag or a Flock Tag will be used as a secondary form of identification.
  • An exhibitor is allowed a maximum of animals per species to be identified:
    • Up to 5 hogs per exhibitor can be identified, however only 2 market hogs can be shown
    • Up to 5 market lambs per exhibitor can be identified, however only 2 market lambs can be shown
    • Up to 5 meat goats per exhibitor can be identified, however only 1 meat goat can be shown
    • Up to 3 market steers per exhibitor can be identified, however only 1 market steer per division (beef, dairy, dairy x dairy crossbred divisions) can be shown

If an animal loses one tag, contact a member of the Market Livestock Committee to be issued a new tag.
If an animal loses both tags, the animal will be disqualified from the Sale.
