Baton
Rouge, LA –The Southern University
Agricultural Research and Extension Center concluded its 70th Annual
Livestock Show with more than 350 participants from across the state this past
weekend. This year, the show was a celebration of decades of service to youth, providing
them opportunity to learn leadership and life-long skills, and build friendships
for life. The Ag center developed a video depicting an oral history of the
show. During the two-day event, young farmers and ranchers from across the
state had the opportunity to display animals that were 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, and tours attracted school-age youth from local
schools. Tour stops explained different animals, their food sources, farming,
and how agriculture affects everyday life.
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. This year’s show was dedicated to long-time Livestock Show Director, James C. Archie who died this past December. He worked for both Southern University and Louisiana State University Ag Centers for more than 30 years.
