BOVINE TB STATUS - Important information:
To help alleviate confusion for our exhibitors, we will be posting any changes to the Minnesota State Fair TB regulations on this website as they are received.

We are working in conjunction with the Minnesota State Board of Animal Health, as well as the animal health regulatory bodies of the surrounding states to provide a consistent set of rules and regulations to best serve our cattle and goat exhibitors.

Please note: The updated regulations also apply to animals other than cattle.
