Due to processor capacity issues and processors not being able to slaughter all hogs at the same time directly from the fair, the Fond du Lac County Fair is now a non-terminal show. This means any hog not going through the sale can go home for breeding purposes, to be shown at state fair or other late summer jackpot show, or go to a processor at a later date. Exhibitors will be responsible for hauling their own non-sale hogs immediately after the fair either home or to a processor they have an appointment with. Please note the Sale will still be a “terminal sale”-all sale animals are to be slaughtered.

It is the responsibility of the exhibitor/family to make the necessary appointments for non-sale animals if they chose to have them processed. Please make appointments early as there is limited space at the processors. If exhibitors make appointments for immediately after the fair, it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to haul the animal to the processor. The Fond du Lac County Fair will haul sale hogs to the buyers’ choice of processor.
