Hog and beef breeding projects

Livestock tags will be distributed to clubs at the 4-H Volunteer Leadership Conference on March 26th. Hog and beef breeding projects will utilize the online Qualtrics system to upload their animal identification information.

  • Market hog, gilts, and beef breeding projects will require an identification tag.
  • Exhibitors may use an EID tag in place of a county tag.
  • Clubs needing additional tags after March 26th can pick up additional tags at the OSU Extension Office. Call 740-354-7879 with any questions.

 

HOW TO SUBMIT AN ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION ONLINE:

  1. Tag your livestock animal (hog and beef breeding).
  2. Photograph the animal from various angles, making the ID tag visible and clear to read.
  3. Use the online Qualtrics survey to submit all information on your 2024 Scioto County Fair Junior Fair Livestock Exhibition animal.

Both 4-H members and FFA members will be eligible to submit identification information.

Answers will remain in the system for up to one week before they are erased, and you must start over.

If you will be exhibiting a market animal and a breeding animal of the same specie through different organizations, you should be sure to indicate which organization each project is completed with.

No problem! Just write down the information that you need for each animal, take photos and then the next time leave the house or drive to a better service area, then you can submit the information for your project(s). Submissions must still be completed by the county deadline.
