TRIBUNE Attention: Swine Exhibitors If you are planning to show swine this year, be aware that Maryland 4-H WILL NOT be using the RFID Tags this year, which contained a premise ID number. If you are breeding your own pigs, contact the Maryland Department of Agriculture (410-841-5810) to obtain your premise ID, if you have not already done so. If you plan on purchasing your pig, talk with your breeders and make them aware of this new rule. You MUST have a premise ID tag in your pig’s ear in order to receive health papers. To learn more about the new 1 tagging guidelines visit: http://mda.maryland.gov/AnimalHealth/Pages/disease -traceability.aspx Maryland Health Paper Guidelines If you will be showing any animal that requires a Maryland Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (Health Papers) please note: Effective for 2016 Maryland CVI’s will be valid for 90 days for fairs and shows. No changes were made to Interstate CVI’s and they are still valid for 30 days. Oh Look… It’s Bad Weather! If it’s bad weather that means things at the Extension Office may be closing!
