If you are planning on entering poultry in this year's Ellis County Fair, Pullorum-Typhoid testing is required for all birds older than 4 months of age.  Any bird younger than 4 months, any waterfowl and any meat pen project birds do not need to be tested.

Fair volunteers have scheduled 5:30 p.m.  June 29 to complete this testing. It will be held at the Extension Office at 601 Main St., Hays, in the back meeting room.

Please give the Extension office a call by June 15 to let them know how many birds you will be bringing to be tested.  

If you have any questions, call the office at 785-628-9430.
