Overview

Mission

To hold a junior livestock show for the convenience, education and benefit of the boys and girls engaged in ffa chapters and 4-h club agriculture and livestock projects.

What it reported doing in 2024

The medina county junior livestock show is comprised of a board of directors, advisors, and other members to hold an annual junior livestock show. The directors and sponsors, with the financial aid and donations from loyal citizens and businesses in medina county arrange and hold this non-profit livestock show for the convenience, education and benefit of the boys and girls engaged in ffa chapters and 4-h club. The use of the show barn and other facilities are provided by the city of hondo. The exhibitors, who must be enrolled and attending elementary or secondary schools or graduated from high school within the past 90 days, can enter their projects for competitive judging, ribbons and monetary awards. They may also receive further financial rewards from the public auction for premium payments for their projects and sale of their animals, which may be used for education expenses and investment in future agriculture projects. All exhibits must be under the supervision of the medina county agri-life extension agents or agriculture science instructors. The junior livestock shows promote agriculture and inspire the next generation of farmers, ranchers, and industry professionals who will be engaged in the production of better livestock.
