Trade Day is less than two weeks away! If you have not been yet, you are missing out!

Trade Day is a great place to gather to shop for plants, pets, livestock, furnishings, and so much more! If you have something to sell, it is also the place to get that sold as well, with a few guidelines on certain livestock.

Arcola Feed is happy to provide your with some guidelines to help your prepare:

Horses MUST have a negative coggins test. Sheep must have scrapies tags, Goats will need them, too if commingling with sheep. Poultry need to have Pullorum Typhoid certification.

If you do not have these and plan on bringing animals to trade day, contact your veterinarian NOW to arrange for testing.

Poultry testing is done through an authorized testing agent through Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Lab. Visit Roster of Authorized Testing Agents – Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (tamu.edu) for a tester near you.
