Southwest Livestock Show

Southwest Livestock Show To teach young people about cooperation; improved agriculture; sportsmanship; animal husbandry; ethics; hard work and traditions.

The Southwest Livestock Show was started in 1940 and continues to make a positive impact on our youth and our community today, some 75 years later. Many hundreds of people work together to provide a place where young people can fit, show and sale their livestock project. Without even realizing it, FFA and 4-H members who show livestock are developing character traits that will carry them throughou

t life – regardless of their career choice. Discipline, patience, goal-setting, making friends, teamwork, project planning and management, math and, of course, a good work ethic are all traits employers seek. Livestock exhibitors also pick up practical agriculture knowledge and experience, such as breed identification, quality and yield grades, breed characteristics, animal health care, animal behavior, nutrition, marketing, animal husbandry, record-keeping and budget management. Please consider helping promote these traits by supporting our young showmen during sale day, by sponsoring their project, helping set up and take down the barn or serve as a member of the teams which are organized by our committees.

No major changes to rules or weights have occurred to this coming year’s show. There is clarification of a rule and a consequence of breaking this rule!

3. Grand and Reserve Champion animals must be sold. Exhibitors must show and sale their own animal. In only extreme cases will the show committee consider letting someone other than the owner of the animal show or sale the animal. If an animal is sold by someone other than the registered exhibitor without the approval of the show committee, both the registered exhibitor and the exhibitor selling the wrong animal will be banned from the show for 1 year and will only receive the market price for all animals sold by both exhibitors.

This will be enforced by species chairman or by the ring help!
