Livestock show to be held Saturday

Donley County 4-H and FFA members are set to compete in the 2008 Donley County Livestock Show this Saturday, January 12.

The show will begin at 8 a.m. at the Clarendon Community Center 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 animals. Raising a livestock project not only teaches youth about hard work but also increases their learning skills of leadership, responsibility, finance, nutrition management, and good sportsmanship.
