Pens will be assigned for sheep and goat exhibitors upon arrival and before pens may be set up. Exhibitors must visit superintendents table near the show ring in the event center to obtain pen. Exhibitor or exhibitor’s immediate family member (mother, father, brother, sister) must be present to make pen reservations. If you wish to pen next to cousins, friends, or 4-H club, a member of each family must be present, and you must be in line together – No Exceptions. Pen assignments will be based on number and types of goats and sheep being brought to fair, not number preentered. Penning will begin at the end of the first row for each species and fill one after the next – you will not be able to choose a specific pen. Exhibitor families may be stalled together depending on space. Exhibitors/families who exhibit both sheep and goats will be given an option to stall animals near each other in designated area. Please remove all ties, wire or any other device used to secure anything to the pens before you leave. 2. Exhibitors may show either registered or grade animals.
