CLASSES SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON ENTRY NUMBERS
Due to recent concerns for the safety and health of animals it will be a requirement at the upcoming Winneshiek County Fair for livestock (horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats and rabbits) to be accompanied by a health certificate issued by a local veterinarian within 21 days of the Winneshiek County Fair. All dogs and cats must show proof of rabies vaccination. This decision was reached by discussing current health issues with members of local commodity groups, veterinarians (local, state and Iowa State University Extension), 4-H leaders, 4-H and Youth Committee, Extension Council, and Fair Board Members. The livestock industry in Winneshiek County is valued at over 90 million dollars. We must take every precaution to insure that only healthy animals are shown at the Winneshiek County Fair. Any livestock arriving at the Winneshiek County Fairgrounds unaccompanied by a health certificate will be denied entry. Only animals that are being exhibited will be allowed on the fairgrounds. This means no giveaways. Please leave pets that are not entered in the pet show at home.
