Poultry, rabbits, pigs, cattle and goats were exhibited at the Ascension Parish Livestock Show by 75 Ascension Parish 4-H and FAA students on January 22 at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center.
“The memories, camaraderie, work ethic, friendly competition and responsibility gained through these breeding projects will be for life,” said a press release.
In addition to the animals judged, other prizes were awarded, such as first exhibitor, showmanship and scholarships. The first exhibitor competition tests the knowledge of livestock exhibitors on the species of their animal. Students are tested and the most proficient exhibitor wins, according to the statement.
The showmanship competition is based on how the exhibitor presents the animal to the breeding judge. The presentation is based more on the actions of the exhibitor than on the confirmation of the animal presented. Scholarships were awarded to senior graduates. This year, an additional purse has been added to the dedicated mix in honor of the late Clint Delaune, who was a cattle parent and husband of Livestock Council Chair Mandy Delaune. A memorial hub has been established to recognize scholarship recipients each year.
Next up for Ascension livestock exhibitors is the South Central District Livestock Show taking place Feb. 3-5 in Lamar-Dixon and the LSU AgCenter State Show taking place in Lamar-Dixon Feb. 12-19. Livestock shows are free and open to the public for spectators.
