2008 Fremont County Fair Alert! 

Premises ID Numbers WILL BE REQUIRED
for all Market Animals(excluding rabbits) to be eligible to sell at the 2008 County Fair

At the April 8, 2008 meeting of the Fremont County Fair Board, the Fremont County Fairs and Shows Association (Livestock Sale Committee) presented a recommendation to REQUIRE PREMISES ID numbers for ALL MARKET ANIMALS (excluding rabbits) to be eligible to sell at the 2008 Fremont County Fair. The Premises ID number is for the location where the animals are kept. Whoever owns the land should apply for the Premises ID number. This recommendation was approved unanimously by the Fair Board.

Premises ID numbers must be obtained and given to the extension office BEFORE arrival at the county fair to be eligible to sell.

There are three (3) ways that you can get a Premises ID number.

1. The easiest and fastest way to get a Premises ID is to call, toll free, 1-877-842-0102 . It takes about 5 minutes. (I recommend this method)

2. Pick up a post card at the extension office, fill it out, and we will fax it to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for you. Or you can fax it to 1-303-239-4164 .

3. You can go on-line, www.COanimalID.org and follow the directions. However, there are many pages to navigate and it is time consuming. (I don't recommend this method)

Please direct any questions to Tommy L. Covington, County Director at 276-7390 .
