Exhibitors earn ribbons and buckles, raise money at Junior Livestock Show

DICKENS STOCK SHOW 2024 At the annual Dickens County Junior Livestock Show Jan. 19–20, 92 animals in six species earned ribbons and other recognition, raising a total of $48,600 from the Exhibitor Sale held on Saturday afternoon. A total of 65 youngsters from Dickens County 4-H and FFA showed 172 animals, according to Dickens County AgriLife Extension Agent Amanda Spvia, who organized the show. “Stock Show Royalty” were King, Preston Abbott, and Queen, Mackenzie Gardner; Prince, Porter Abbott, and Princess, Paisley Smith. All of these exhibitors work hard throughout the school year to raise and care for their animals, and learn livestock-related skills. Scores of parents and family members, 4-H and FFA leaders, and community supporters make this showcase event possible each year.
