Livestock show to be Saturday

The Donley County Junior Livestock Show is upon us once again.

4-H and FFA members all over the county are gearing up for the 2007 Donley County Junior Livestock Show to be held this Saturday, January 13, 2007.

The show will begin at 8:00 a.m. with the Lamb and Goat show followed by the, Steer, Beef Heifer and Swine shows.

A premium auction will be held following the buyers’ appreciation dinner at 6 p.m. The premium auction is a way of helping youth to recover some of their expenses involved in purchasing and feeding their animal.

Raising a livestock project not only teaches youth about hard work, but it also increases their learning skills of leadership, responsibility, finance, nutrition management, and good sportsmanship. The Jr. Livestock Show Board would like to invite the public to come and support these youth at the show and premium auction.

Those who would also like to make a contribution to the auction may contact Livestock Show Chairman Larry Gray at 874-2095 or Leonard Haynes 874-2141 prior to the show. You can also make a contribution at the sale.
