Major Show Broiler Orders Due

If you plan to exhibit market broilers at the 2013 Houston, San Antonio or Star of Texas Livestock shows, you need to place an order with the Extension office by October 12.  The standard order has been adjusted to increments of 25 broiler chicks up to a maximum of 75 chicks per exhibitor.  Families with multiple children who wish to enter the show cannot order one set of birds for multiple children.  Each child must have an individual order of 25, 50 or 75 birds.  Each exhibitor must select and exhibit their pen of three broilers from within the broilers assigned to them.  Sharing of birds between order sets is not allowed.  The price will be $31.25 per standard order of 25 ($1.25 per chick).  Birds will be delivered on January 11 for San Antonio show and on January 23, 2013, for Houston and Star of Texas shows.  (There will no longer be a roaster show at Star of Texas Fair.)
