As Austin County 4-Hers wrap up an incredible major show season, it’s not only time to reflect on the success of individ ual projects but also the growth and knowledge gained throughout their experiences.
Every year, 4-H and FFA chapters across the state of Texas kick off their major show season at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo before moving on to San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo, San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and finishing out with Rodeo Austin.
Many people don’t realize that these major shows encompass more than just exhibiting livestock. Competitions offered through major shows include public speaking, archery, shotgun, horticulture, floral design, photography, skillathons, quiz bowl, food challenge, ag mechanics, robotics, consumer decision making, veterinary science, and dairy, horse, livestock, meat, poultry, wildlife, and wool judging con tests!
