2026 Post Rock District County Fairs
Each county fair in Post Rock District as a webpage that shares resources and information related to the 4-H events, activities, and contests. Open class and general fair information is available through the respective county fair board. 4-H information is posted as it becomes available. Please contact your local Extension Office if you have questions or for additional resources.
4-H County Fair Participation in Post Rock District
The 4-H Council is responsible for obtaining 4-H tags for the respective county fair’s 4-H division. The 4-H Council will determine the official 4-H tag and cost for their county. Generally, the cost of the tag is the responsibility of the member, payable to the local 4-H Council. When a tag is sold from the Post Rock District office, it will be recorded under the immediate family. Do not transfer a 4-H tag to another family. A photo is not required to be turned in once the animal is tagged. Unused tags are to be returned to the Extension Office. If a tag is lost or damaged, work with the local Post Rock District office to replace.
By the pre-fair deadline set by the 4-H Council, the following animals will require the designated 4-H tag: market beef, commercial breeding beef, bucket calf, market sheep, commercial breeding sheep, market swine, commercial breeding swine, market goat, commercial breeding goat, dairy cattle, dairy goat, and other species where tagging is determined safe and appropriate. Either ear can be tagged for county fair.
If an animal is breed registered, a 4-H tag is not required. A copy of the registered animal’s official documentation (i.e. registered heifer) is to be on file at the local Post Rock District office by the pre-fair deadline. Registration papers can be in the member or immediate family name to be accepted.
Any animal exhibit with two or more animals (i.e. cow/calf pair) will require verification by a 4-H tag, local farm tag, or registered documentation for the primary animal (cow) and secondary animals will be allowed to have a local farm tag (calf).
Animals not requiring a 4-H tag will describe the animal exhibit on the fair entry document which is to be submitted by the pre-fair deadline. Descriptions include: breed, sex, name, special markings. For county-level exhibition in Post Rock District, leg bands are not required for poultry; tattoos are not required for rabbits; identification certificates and level testing are not required for horses.
2025 Fair 4-H Dog Show
The Post Rock District 4-H Dog Show will be held Saturday, June 14th starting at 9:00 a.m. at the Osborne County Fairgrounds. Check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m. This is the official dog show for all Post Rock District county fairs. Due the uniqueness of the Dog Show, we do not have a dog show at each county fair; instead, we do the dog project as a district-wide show.
To help dog project members prepare for the dog show, there will be a mock show on Sunday, June 13th at 3:00 p.m.
