Make sure you go over these states requirements before getting ready to show.
Headed to a fair or livestock show this season? Make sure your animals meet Arkansas’ exhibition health requirements before you go!
Many species need current CVIs, some require negative tests within 30–90 days, and animals showing signs of contagious disease won’t be allowed to exhibit. Requirements also vary by species, including horses, cattle, poultry, sheep and goats, swine, and more. Plan ahead, check the rules early, and help keep Arkansas agriculture healthy.
