Colorado Premises Identification registration
Beginning on October 1, 2008, each 4-H Livestock (beef, sheep, swine, goat, poultry) and horse project will be required to have a Premises Identification number before you can show at Arapahoe County Fair. There will be a place on the entry form for this number. If it is not on your form, it will not be entered in the fair. If you have any questions about the program, please refer to their Website (www.COanimalid.org).
There are two ways to register, by phone (877-842-0102) or online (www.COanimalid.org). It is a very simple process, only takes a few minutes. This is a series of numbers and letters assigned to your premises; it is not a number for your animal (s). Once you register the first time, you do not have to re-register, unless you move to a new location. The Colorado State Fair also requires this procedure. |
