Baton Rouge, LA - The
Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center concluded its 72nd
Annual Livestock Show with more than 350 participants from across the state on
March 7th. 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.
Showmanship was judged in different categories 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.
