Skillathon

Members must complete the skillathon for beef, dairy, dogs, goats, hogs, horses, poultry, rabbits and sheep at the designated time before the fair to be eligible to show their animals at the fair. Complete official 4-H or National FFA project books constitute up to 10% of the total score and must be turned in at the time the test is taken.

Members having valid scheduling conflicts who cannot attend the scheduled dates must notify the OSU Extension office in writing by midnight prior to the last skillathon date. No make-up tests during the fair. Those not taking the skillathon during the county dates are ineligible for any skillathon awards. Members who enter the skillathon test buildings must sign in and take the skillathon that night.

Quality Assurance

4-H/FFA members who want to show and/or sell market steers, market lambs, market goats, market dairy steers, feeder calves, lactating dairy cattle, market poultry, market rabbits, and lactating dairy goats must attend a Quality Assurance (QA) Training at a designated time before the fair. All members who want to show and/or sell market hogs must take a Pork Quality Assurance before the fair. Please note: The Pork Quality Assurance class qualifies members for any market project.
