Here is the schedule:
7:00 a.m. Sheep Weigh-in
7:45 a.m. Goat Weigh-in
9:00-10:30 a.m. Sheep & Goat Judging Contest

New this year-members need to register in the Showman app prior to preshow: please capitalize the first letter of your first and last name. Enter only your scrapie tag number — we will add your fair tag and weight at Pre‑Show. You’ll be signing up for the Kittitas County Fair Livestock Show and Market Sale, which helps us “pre‑load” your information for fair.

If for any reason you are not able to attend, you will need to be excused by the Livestock Committee by May 19. You must check with the superintendents to be excused from the fairgrounds for the day.
Sheep members have options to either slick shear or leave unsheared. All animals should be washed before coming to the grounds. It is required to clean out your pens at the end of the day. There will be pens set up for your use in Bloom Pavilion. If you have a sick animal please contact your leader and superintendent ASAP to discuss!

Letters can be submitted via email to amy.alder@wsu.edu. The letter needs to be written by the 4-H/FFA/Grange member requesting the excuse, address the reason for not attending, and who will weigh the animal. The Livestock Committee will review these requests. Members must have another exhibitor weigh their animal(s) in their absence.
