What is validation? Who needs to validate their
livestock? In order for any 4-H/FFA member to make entry into any
livestock show in Texas (this includes the Gillespie County Youth Livestock
Show - county), their livestock projects must have been validated
within the Texas 4-H/FFA Livestock Validation Program. The validation of 4-H/FFA livestock projects occurs
annually to establish a permanent identity of the animal and verify ownership
by the exhibitor. The validation program helps to ensure all animals are
placed on feed and under the direct care of the owner on a designated date.
The validation process occurs on a predetermined date established by the
State Validation Committee. At the time of validation, all animals (excluding horses)
are ear tagged, individual hair samples are collected on each animal to be used
for DNA testing to verify identity later, a record of exhibitor(s)/animal
project(s), and a code of ethics policy form must be completed by each 4-H
and FFA member. What do you need to do to validate your animal(s)? Tags are $16 each. Payment for tags is due at the time of
ordering in-person or online. You will need to order 1 tag (1 ticket if
online) per animal in which you plan on validating. Gillespie County Extension Office: 38 Business Ct.
