The St. Martin Parish 4-H and FFA Livestock Show was held on Jan. 14-15, 2011, at the St. Martin Parish Livestock Show Barn on the Breaux Bridge High School campus. Forty-six 4-H members exhibited a total of 110 beef, dairy, sheep, goat and swine animals.
The purpose of the 4-H livestock program is to provide opportunities for young people to develop character and life skills. Character traits identified are: leadership, respect, trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, caring, honesty, integrity, self-esteem and citizenship. Youth develop life skills and character traits when they are involved in each phase of the livestock project from selection through the show ring.
The livestock projects:
- Are tools for the development of life skills by 4-H and FFA members.
- Provide an opportunity to expand youth's knowledge of livestock production and management.
- Improve and enhance livestock production in Louisiana.
