The two-day competition is happening at the Maurice A. Edmond Livestock Show Arena on Highway 61N in Alsen, LA. Judges will name the state champions in various breeds of beef and dairy cattle, hogs, sheep, lamb, and goats. The show features animals that have been showcased or have won in parish competitions.
The all-time favorite mini-farm, featuring a variety of small farm animals, will open today at 9 am to 1 pm. Tour guides will discuss different animals, their food sources, farming and how agriculture affects everyone’s lives. The show will also have face painting, food, craft booths, and the Hall of Louisiana Agriculture, for local school groups.
Winners will receive premiums, rosettes, ribbons, and silver platters. An awards presentation for exhibitors of champion market animals in the show will be held Saturday, March 13, at 8 am and will be immediately followed by the Junior Auction Sale at 10:30 am. Prize meats (beef, lamb, pork, and goat) are available for sale.
