Coffey County Born
A Coffey County Born form must be completed for each animal entered in the Coffey County Fair. The forms are due with pre-entry's. This year, each species will have a Coffey County Born class, not just beef. The same form should be used for each species, however, please make sure to indicate which species you are entering by circling it on the form.
Horse ID Forms- Due May 1st
Rabbit ID Forms (NEW!)- DUE to Extension MAY 1st
Beginning in 2017, all rabbit project members are required to submit a "Rabbit Identification Form" with identification for ALL rabbits that 4-Hers are planning on showing at the Coffey County Fair. The form includes exhibitor name, club name, breed, variety, tattoo number, age, and sex. This form must be completed and turned into the Extension Office by the Add/Drop project deadline of May 1st.
2018 Designated Rabbits List (Rabbits Designated by the May 1 Deadline)
Livestock Breed Designation
All changes are due to the Extension Office IN WRITING: June 1st
All market livestock that will be shown at the Coffey County Fair must be tagged during the relative species weigh-in/tagging date in the spring. At the time of tagging a breed should be designated. Changes to breed information may be made in writing up until the June 1st deadline. NO CHANGES may be made to breed designation after that date, and all animals must be pre-entered under the designated breed category on pre-entry cards. If your pre-entry card does not match with the breed that was designated by you by the June 1st deadline, then your pre-entry card will not be accepted by the Extension Office until it is corrected.
