State Livestock Nomination Info

In order to show at either the Kansas State Fair (KSF) or Kansas Junior Livestock Show (KJLS), youth must nominate those animals. Kansas utilizes an online system to accept those state livestock nominations for KSF and/or KJLS. Those animals are required to be tagged with the official Kansas 4-H EID tags. And DNA hair samples are also required. Official DNA envelopes must be used and those can be purchased through the online ShoWorks system. For more information about Nominating Livestock for KSF and/or KJLS, please visit the K-State Youth Programs – State Livestock Nomination Information website .
