Baton Rouge, La. - For 76 years, the Southern
University Ag Center has continued the tradition of providing an opportunity
for youth, throughout Louisiana, to gain valuable knowledge and skills at its
Annual State Livestock and Poultry Show. The event was held February 28 - March
2, 2019, at the Maurice A. Edmond Livestock Arena.
To qualify for the state show,
competitors had to have won first place at a parish livestock show.
This year, 120 young people from 31 parishes showed 204 animals in various breeds of dairy and beef cattle,
lamb, goat, and poultry.
“My uncle introduced me to
raising and showing steers,” said Mashayla Dyson, who took home Champion in the
Market Steer category. “I have been showing steers since I was 11-years-old and
I have really grown to love raising the animals and showing them at Southern’s
Livestock Show,” added the 18-year-old Tangipahoa Parish native. “I hope I’m
able to continue doing this,” she said with a smile.
The Ag Center also holds a “Night
with the Stars: Old Fashion Livestock Decorating Contest” during its Livestock
Show.
This event is held on Friday
after all the animals have been judged to give the participants an opportunity
to have fun with their animal, one last time before the Jr. Auction on Saturday
morning.
The 'Night with the Stars’
winners are:
Wyatt Sonnier, from Jefferson Davis
Parish, in 1st place; Brady Hayes from Allen Parish, in second place
and Camille Sonnier from Jefferson Davis in 3rd
place.
