Baton
Rouge, LA –The Southern University
Agricultural Research and Extension Center concluded its 71th Annual
Livestock Show with more than 350 participants from across the state this past weekend.
On the heels of last year’s landmark 70th Anniversary event, 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 excess of over 500 from
local area schools. Tour stops explained different animals, their food sources,
farming, and how agriculture affects everyday life. There were petting zoos for
goats, rabbits, chicken and even duck. Other stops included demonstrations of
SU Ag Center programs for families in the area of nutrition, tobacco cessation,
veterinary care, gardening and a milking station.
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.
