Livestock & Animal News

Due to the 2021 Cass County Fair being late this year, the Swine Superintendents have decided the maximum weight will be 320 pounds to be considered for Champion or Reserve Champion.

REMINDER - No bull calves allowed at the Cass County Fair! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Don't forget to complete your Bucket Calf Record Books! They are to be turned in at the 4-H office by 8:00am on the day of the show! Here is the link: Bucket Calf Record Book

The Fairboard purchased new land and we would like to offer a few primitive camping spots. The spots will be on the southwest side of the fairgrounds. There is no electricity, water, or trash services in these spots, so you will need to bring generators, water, and trash can. The price will be $10 per night. Please call or text Josiah Graham (402-570-2484) if you're interested in these spots.

Static entries are due August 6th.

We will print entry tags for projects again this year.
