Animals for the 2020 State Fair will still need to have a retinal scan. If you want to show market swine at the State Fair, email bkirkland@larimer.org by May 8 with the name of the exhibitor and the number of goats that exhibitor plans to show. At that time, the county agent will be in communication with you to sign-up for a time to have your animal tagged, notched (if needed) and for your nomination card to be filled out.

“I am Brooke Carlson. I was the President of the High Country Handiworkers club for three years. I started my own livestock business four years ago. I breed, raise, train, and sell show-quality market goats. This year’s crop of kids is outstanding and show-stopping!
If you or someone you know is searching for high/show-quality, reasonably-priced, friendly market goats, your search is over! I have several Boer goat kids that are ready to be a part of a 4-Her’s project.
Direct message or text me if you are interested!”
