The 4-H and FFA members in your county are cordially invited
to participate in the Southern Classic Youth Livestock Project Experience scheduled
for December 7-9, 2012 in Brazos County. This multi-county/regional event is
conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service with the support of
Producers Cooperative Association in Bryan along with multiple area
agri-businesses and youth livestock show boards.
The primary focus of the weekend activities are centered on
educational programs for beef cattle (steers and heifers), swine, meat goats,
lambs, poultry and rabbits (new this year). On Saturday, multiple showmanship
workshops will be conducted to help new exhibitors in addition to specie
specific programs. A set of large animal clippers will be given away during the
beef, lamb, goat and swine clinics. The targeted audience is families with
limited experience feeding and exhibiting livestock; although, participation is
open to all 4-H and FFA members regardless of knowledge and ability. All youth
participants are given a useful prize of some kind related to their livestock
project. Sunday is devoted to competitive showmanship contests (novice, junior
and senior divisions) followed by jackpots shows. Animals do not have to be
clipped or fitted in order to participate.
Registration costs $30/family if registered by December 2nd;
otherwise, it is $40/family and can be completed on 4-H Connect. Complete
details can be found at http://d94-h.tamu.edu/eventsandcontests/southern-classic/
For additional information, please call or e-mail.
Thanks in advance.
