Baton Rouge, LA –The
Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center concluded its 72nd
Annual Livestock Show with more than 300 participants from across the state on March
7, 2015. The show continues to provide youth with opportunity to learn
leadership and life-long skills, and build friendships for life. During the
three-day event, young farmers and ranchers from across the state had the
opportunity to display animals that were showcased or had won in parish
competitions. After the show, judges named state champions in various breeds of
beef and dairy cattle, swine, sheep, lamb, and goat. The all-time
favorite mini-farm, featuring a variety of small farm animals, plants, and
tours attracted school-age youth in from local area schools and child care
centers. Tour stops explained different animals, their food sources, farming,
and how agriculture affects everyday life. There were petting zoos for goat kids,
rabbits, chicks and piglets.
Showmanship in different categories were judged for awards. Winners received premiums, rosettes, ribbons, and banners. An awards presentation for exhibitors of champion market animals was held, followed immediately by the Junior Auction Sale.
