The Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center concluded its 68th Annual Livestock Show with more than 400 participants from across the state this past weekend. During the two-day event, young farmers and ranchers from across the state had the opportunity to display animals that have been showcased or have won in-parish competitions. After the show, judges named state champions in various breeds of beef and dairy cattle, hogs, sheep, lamb, and goats. The all-time favorite mini-farm, featuring a variety of small farm animals, was held for school-age kids from the local schools. In addition, tours were provided to discuss different animals, their food sources, farming, and how agriculture affects everyone's life.
Winners of the show received premiums, rosettes, ribbons, and banners. An awards presentation for exhibitors of champion market animals was held followed by the Junior Auction Sale. This year show was dedicated to long-time Livestock Show employee, Brenda DeRouren who will be retiring from the University later this month after working 30 years.
