Bastrop Show Broiler Orders Due

If you plan to exhibit market broilers at the 2013 Bastrop Area Livestock show, 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 23, 2013, for the Bastrop Livestock Show.   If you wish to show these broilers at the Houston and Star of Texas shows, you can.  You will have to designate this when you order the chicks at the Extension office.
