- All swine are required to have a SCANNABLE USDA Identification tag. Check with your breeder to make sure their tag is SCANNABLE, if not you will need to obtain a premise ID number and purchase the tag yourself.
- If you are not sure your 840 tag is a RFID chipped tag, you have the option to bring your pig up on Saturday during weigh in to confirm one way or another. Do not remove your current 840 premise ID tag.
- Your exhibit’s tag number will be the last five (5) digits of your official 840 tag number.
