Description:
Monday, June 14th
Time - 8:00am-12:00pm
Location: 17009 Littig Road, Manor, Texas 78653
The validation committee chairs for the other species (swine, lambs and goats) also are planning to hold their validations for State Fair on the same date and at the same location. For those who are not aware, we no longer will be doing nose prints for steers, but DNA testing of steers at the shows will increase significantly. No longer having to take nose prints should significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to validate each steer. We have been advised that we will need to abide by Travis County’s Covid-19 Guidelines that are in force at the time of validation.
Please note that there will be another validation for heifers, swine, sheep and goats in the Fall (usually around mid-October). So, be aware that one will need to order UINs for heifers and tags for swine, sheep and goats if one will be showing those species in the Winter/Spring majors. Deadlines for ordering those tags will be determined at a later time and information for ordering also will be sent out when we are closer to those time periods. Please contact Noel Troxclair with any questions (office: 512-854-9614, cellular: 83-279-4976 or noel.troxclair@ag.tamu.edu).
