Quality Assurance & Drug Use Notification Forms

Chapter 901-19-07 of the Ohio Administrative Code is a mandatory rule that requires all exhibitors to complete a quality assurance program prior to exhibiting terminal or partial terminal livestock in a junior livestock show. The program is conducted cooperatively by the Exhibition Sponsor, OSU Extension, Ohio Agricultural Education, or Agricultural Commodity Organizations.

All Logan County Junior Fair Livestock Exhibitors must attend an approved Quality Assurance program, regardless of livestock species by April 30, 2024. 

Pet projects are included in Still Project judging and do not need to complete quality assurance.

ALL DUNF FORMS MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE WEIGHINS ON JULY 6, 2024! 

DUNFs are required for: Market: Beef Steer, Market Heifer, Dairy Steer, Hogs, Market Goats, Market Lambs, Poultry (by pen), lactating Dairy Cattle and lactating Dairy Goats.

No person shall submit an incomplete, illegible or unsigned DUNF!

 

From the 2024 Logan County Jr. Fair Guide: "A Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) must be submitted at weigh in for each market and lactating animal. One (1) form equals one (1) animal. No form, no weigh-in and the exhibitor will be ineligible for exhibition and required to remove the animal from the premises. A Junior Fair livestock exhibitor’s project must be drug free when they come into the Fairgrounds to be eligible to participate and sell in the Logan County Junior Fair Livestock Sale. If drugs are determined to be present, the exhibitor and/or exhibitor’s family may be banned from showing in any future Logan County Fairs. The minimum number of years for banning is three (3) years before the right to review."
