HOG SHOW TAGGING DAY

4-H and FFA members as well as pre-club students interested in showing a hog in the 2018 County Market Hog Show in February need to bring their pigs to Coffee High School by the Animal Science Building on Monday, November 27th, from 4:30-5:30 PM. There will not be a vet for drawing blood work, so exhibitors will be responsible for getting this done on their own. This is the last tagging day, so don't miss it.

For more information, please contact your 4-H Agent or FFA Advisor.
