Why show livestock at the Clark County Fair?
A livestock project teaches exhibitors many valuable lessons that prepare them for the future:
Responsibility- Feeding animals twice a day, exercising, and grooming. Animal care takes effort and proper care will result in livestock looking their best in the show ring.
Financial Sense- Budgeting, getting and paying off loans, keeping records, determining the price needed to make a profit, and saving for the next project or for the future are skills that are learned through a livestock project. We believe our youth have an advantage because most people don’t learn these skills until adulthood.
Competition, Sportsmanship, Leadership, and Friendship are other important skills our youth learn.
How do I get involved?
*Sign-up for a 4-H club or take an Agricultural Education Class in High School and become a member of FFA. Leaders are invaluable in teaching exhibitors and their parents where to purchase animals and what they need to do to be successful.
