Show-Day Checklist for Texas Livestock Exhibitors and Families: The Essentials
Show-day rules differ by fair, so use the current rulebook for your show and confirm with your county Extension agent or ag teacher. Published examples show what to check.
Papers and tags
Bring your validation form, any registration papers and the signed ethics form. Validation proves ownership but does not enter you in a show. Check that every tag is in place, because swine guidelines say pigs entering the holding pen without a tag are not validated. Quality Counts has no printable certificate, so keep the confirmation email.
Timing and dress
Weigh-in windows are short. At the Central Texas Youth Fair, weigh-in ran 5:30 to 7:00 pm, and exhibitors wore long pants or skirts below the knee with collared shirts.
Sale day
Be in place on time, thank all your bidders, and write personal thank-you notes to buyers.
