Calling all livestock exhibitors! 🐄🐖🐑🐐🍀

Join us for the Southeast Region 4-H Livestock Clinic for a day of learning, hands-on activities, and fun. Participants will gain valuable showmanship tips and tricks from experienced livestock leaders and exhibitors to help improve their skills in the show ring.

Attendees will rotate through a variety of hands-on livestock activity stations, where they will practice techniques, build confidence, and learn what it takes to become a successful showman. Whether you're new to showing livestock or looking to sharpen your skills, this clinic has something for everyone.
Plus, all participants will enjoy a free meal while connecting with fellow 4-H members from across the Southeast Region.

Registration Details: Registration will be available through 4-H Online from October 1 through November 10. Participants may register by visiting https://www.4honline.com/ #/user/sign-in during the registration period. Early registration is encouraged to help us plan activities and meals.

🇺🇸 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 - WE REMEMBER 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage of the first responders, service members, everyday heroes, and countless individuals whose lives were forever changed.

We remember the heartbreak.
We remember the bravery.
We remember the unity that brought our nation together.

May we continue to honor their memory through service, kindness, courage, and compassion for one another.

❤️🤍💙 We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🐮🐷🐑🐐🐰🐔 2027 LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS — MARK YOUR CALENDARS! 🍀📅

The 2027 St. Tammany Parish 4-H/FFA Possession & Validation Deadlines are here! Please save these important dates and plan ahead for the upcoming livestock show season. Validations will operate a little differently this year. A change from previous years was passed through the advisory process is that there must be a 4-H Agent or FFA Advisor present during the 2027 LSU AgCenter Livestock Show Animal Validations.

We will be sending out Validation Days that will be held at the Covington Fairgrounds for those who will be showing through the 4-H Office. FFA Advisors are able to request validation kits from the 4-H Office and handle the validation process at their schools and turn in the validation envelope and $7.00 fee per animal to the 4-H Office by the validation deadline date.

In either case, a 4-H Agent or FFA Advisor must be present when DNA samples are collected from animals during the validation process this year.
