Green County Market Steer/Market Heifer Weigh-In The annual Green County Market Steer/Heifer Weigh-In is being held on Saturday, Dec. 29 at Equity Livestock, located south of Monroe from 8 to 11 a.m. In case of inclement weather the snow date will be Saturday, Jan. 5. An announcement will be made over WBGR radio prior to 8 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 29 if the weigh-in will be re-scheduled due to inclement weather. All exhibitors who plan to show market steers or market heifers at the 2019 Green County Junior Fair must have their market animal weighed and identified at this weigh-in. Each exhibitor can identify a maximum of 5 market animals. U.S.D.A. radio frequency identification tags will be used to identify each market animal for the county fair. Exhibitors will be required to provide the premise ID number for the farm that the market animal will be housed at. Green County Fair exhibitors must reside in Green County or be a member of a Green County FFA or 4-H Club, to have their market animals weighed and identified at this weigh-in. Market animals must also be identified and weighed to be eligible to participate in the 2019 Green County Fair Meat Animal Auction, Junior Steer/Heifer Show and the Market Animal Performance Class at the Green County Fair. A market animal performance class is being held again in 2019. Market Animals entered in the performance class will be scanned for carcass merits and will not be sent for harvest during the fair. This will allow youth to exhibit the
same market animal in both the performance and the market steer and market heifer classes with the exception of the Grand and Reserve Champion Performance Market Animal. The grand and reserve champion performance market animal will be selected based on their rate of gain, live show placing and scanned carcass data. Exhibitors are reminded that market steers and market heifers must have a rate of gain of two or more pounds per day to be eligible to enter the performance contest or to be sold in the Green County Fair Livestock Auction. The minimum County fair auction weights are 1,300 pounds for dairy steers, 1,100 pounds for all beef market steers, and 1,000 pounds for all market heifers. Market Animals must meet these minimum final weights at fair time to be eligible to sell in the livestock auction and to participate in the market animal performance contest. This weigh-in is only for market steers/heifers that will be exhibited at the Green County Fair. Steers/Heifers that will be exhibited only at the WI State Fair will be self- identified by exhibitors and are not required to attend this weigh-in. The Green County Beef Producers will be assisting with the weigh-in. Record books for the Green County Meat Animal Sale and fair rules will be distributed to all exhibitors at the weigh-in. If you have any questions regarding the weigh-in, contact Jackie McCarville, Green County UW-Extension Agricultural Educator at 608-328-9440.
