Mandatory Market Rabbit Tattoo Day

September 8th at 6 pm at the SA Barn at the fairgrounds.

Per the 2021 rule changes (submitted for 2020), all market rabbits will be tattooed by SASC, even if they already have a tattoo. The numbers will be assigned and tattooed into the ear by Denese Belson or Nikki Sobell. Individuals with breeding stock rabbits or cavies can also come be tattooed or tagged if they need that resource.
