The Hitching Post

August 16th at 4pm is the deadline for submitting your SFT or HOT entries (paper and online are both required) and entry fees to Mr. Dalrymple. At this time, we are unsure if you will be able to make your entry payment online. Please reach out to an Ag teacher if you need help with your online or paper entries. You can send them to school as soon as they are completed or you can reach out to an Ag Teacher and set up a time for one of us to meet you after school.

August 21st is the deadline to purchase and pay for your spring major show tags for pigs, lambs, goats and heifers.

HOW to order your tags:

1- Print the form

2. Fill out the form

3. Return it to Bryson Dalrymple by 3:30 pm August 21st accompanied by your tag money (cash or checks will be accepted).

*Remember if you validated in June, you do not have to validate that animal again if showing the same animal at the spring majors.*

We have revised our participation requirements to be eligible to show at GCF or any of the Spring Major Shows. Please reference the document below to view these new requirements. Please contact any Ag teacher if you have questions.

We have revised our participation points guidelines for ASFFA. Please reference the document below to view the points chart. We will still use the AET system to log points. Please make sure your child is checking in at any event they are attending or they will not receive points for that event. Points will be updated on our website at least 1 week after an event. If there are any questions please contact one of the Ag teachers.

The fundraiser forms will be sent home with all HS student's who are enrolled in an Ag Class. Elementary and JH members are also encouraged to sell. Your JH student may swing by an Ag class to grab a form or parent's can email me and I will get one sent home. Click on the link below to get specifics as well as instructions on how to gain access to the app to link your orders and payments to a phone.

Students will not receive participation points for attending. This is just for membership sign-up and payment of dues.

Visit our website at anytime for:

• current participation (will be updated within a week of an event)
• calendar of events
