It’s January, and rural Texans know what that means—Junior Livestock Stock time.
Dickens County 4-H and FFA member are hard at work preparing their animals for 2021 event, will be held at the Spur Exhibition Barn Friday and Saturday, Jan. 22–23.
Dozens of young exhibitors are busy feeding, exercising and preparing their animals in hopes of earning a spot in the premium sale.
In the wake of Covid-19, however, show participants, spectators, and bidders can expect a few things to be different—though according to Texas A&M AgriLife it’s up to each individual show to set its own specific guidelines.
“The DCJLS board is working with county officials to set health and safety recommendations,” said Dickens County Extension Agent Thomas Boyle. The Texas Spur will post and publish such protocols as they become available.
Those who are unable to attend the show and premium sale in person may participate by sending a donation to be presented at the premium sale to a very deserving participant’s livestock project. These tax-deductible donations can be mailed to the above address or given to any Dickens County Livestock Association member.
