DNA Envelope Order Deadline for State Livestock Nominations Approaching
The state livestock nomination process has transitioned to an online system this year. The payment of nomination fees is now submitted through purchasing official DNA envelopes in advance. No funds will be mailed with nominations. Families will need one DNA envelope per nominated animal. The DNA envelopes must be purchased through the online system (ShoWorks). Old DNA envelopes (purchased by offices prior to 2022) will not be accepted.
Due to the length of time it takes the envelopes to get delivered through the mail, families are encouraged to order them as early as possible. The deadline to order DNA envelopes for small livestock and commercial heifer nominations is June 8. Families who wait until the deadline to order will be cutting it close to receive the envelopes, pull their samples, and return the signed DNA envelopes by the postmark deadline. Get them ordered today!
All market animals and commercial females must be nominated to be eligible for the Kansas State Fair Grand Drive and/or KJLS.
