Impact Report | Summer Livestock Workshops Showmanship and feeding techniques were the focus of the summer livestock workshops. Individuals brought their livestock projects to the fairgrounds and worked on showing their animals. Youth were instructed by Office Staff, FFA teachers, and volunteer leaders on proper techniques for showing. Youth were also instructed on proper grooming and show day preparation. Animals were evaluated for their final progress through the summer feeding program and final adjustments were made to improve exhibits before exhibition in county fair. Adult and Teen leaders were allowed the opportunity to work with younger youth on showmanship techniques. Forty four youth were involved in these workshops. Improvements in showmanship were observed while at the workshops and re-evaluated again during county fair and progress was made with all individuals in attendance of these workshops. |
