Green County Fair swine exhibitors will be required to self-identify their pigs using the same method that was used last year. Exhibitors will be required to tag their own pigs and pull hair samples for DNA testing from each fair pig. The cost of the DNA test kits will be $6.00 per pig. Exhibitors will also be given two RFID ear tags for each animal at no additional cost. DNA test kits and ear tags will only be available for pickup at the Green County Extension Office, 2841 6th Street, Monroe.

Fox Sparrows are somewhat non-descript, but in flight their rufous tails show and that may be the origin of the connection to a fox, or at least a fox's color.  The breast is heavily streaked on this brush and woody undergrowth avian. 
Males defend the territory toward other species, too.  The female does the work of brooding the fledglings on cool days. Females are also primary nest builders, picking grass, moss, lichens, fur, feathers and adding some finely-shredded bark. In early spring they may be seen hanging out around feeders.
