Market Livestock Project

• 2008 Fond du Lac County Fair CHANGES for Beef, Sheep, and Goat
  • For 2008, the sheep and market goat show will start on Tuesday, July 15, at 6:00 p.m.
  • The beef show will start at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 16, 2008. These changes were made to help the show run more smoothly and allow more time to get ready for the Market Livestock Sale. For some youth, this may make it possible to show another animal as well.
  • Have fun with your animals and see you at the weigh-ins.
