If you are planning on showing lambs and/or goats at the Gillespie County Stock Show or Major Stock Shows in spring 2025, you must order validation tags. You will need to order 1 tag (ticket) per animal.
Lambs and goats validated during the June 2024 State Fair Validation Period WILL BE ELIGIBLE for 2025 Spring Major Shows. Market animals validated for the 2024 State Fair will carryover for 2025 Spring Major Shows. Once validated, the project MUST stay in the care of the exhibitor that project is validated to; if the exhibitor chooses to sell the project to a new exhibitor, the new exhibitor MUST REVALIDATE the project within the next validation period.
