Livestock Validation

Suzanne Troxclair, Smith, Vickie L.

2025 LSU AgCenter Livestock Project. Possession dates.


As in past years, all market animals and commercial breeding animals are required to be validated through a process of collecting hair samples. The animals are then tagged and “validated”. You will be responsible for contacting the 4-H office to get your validation kits, validating your own animals, and returning the kits to our office with your fees before August 16, 2024, for steers, November 11, 2024, for commercial beef, commercial dairy, market lambs, commercial ewes, market goats and commercial does. Market and commercial hogs will have to be validated before December 2, 2024, using the same process. If you need assistance or have any questions, please contact Suzanne Troxclair at 985-446-1316.
