UPDATE: Tag-in for Filly/Gelding will be under the LIVESTOCK BARN at the Fairgrounds this year. Do not get in line for the Lone Star arena as that will be the Replacement Heifer tag-in.

Just wanted to make sure that our 2027 MCFA Filly and Gelding competitors are aware of the tag-in date change to Tuesday, October 6th from 4pm to 7pm. Good luck this year!

The Texas Animal Health Commission has an interactive map showing areas considered infested and needing to take additional precautions in regards to the New World Screwworm.

On June 9, the sixth case of NWS was found in a bovine from Edwards County. The infested zone established around the case extends into portions of Sutton and Val Verde Counties. Animal owners can check if they are located in an infested zone and need to follow additional movement requirements by viewing the TAHC interactive case map: https://bit.ly/NWS-ZoneMap

The map will continue to be updated as the situation evolves. See the current movement requirements for all detections here: https://bit.ly/TAHC-NWS
