(02/21/18) GONZALES, La. — Hundreds of young people from across Louisiana were named state champions during the 83rd annual LSU AgCenter Livestock Show held Feb. 13 to 20 at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center.

To qualify for the state show, competitors had to first participate in parish and district livestock shows across Louisiana. At the state show, 1,816 youths exhibited 2,694 breeding animals, 1,241 market animals and 1,414 birds, according to the AgCenter Livestock Show manager Dwayne Nunez.

Judges at the LSU AgCenter Livestock Show determined more than 2,000 state champions in various breeds of beef and dairy cattle, goats, hogs, poultry and sheep.

Although the event showcases examples of the state’s important livestock industries, AgCenter administrators say it is much more than that.

“This show is much more about recognizing champion young people than it is about naming champion animals,” said Bill Richardson, LSU vice president for agriculture. “Every youngster who participated in this show is a champion because of the dedication, skills and knowledge they’ve demonstrated by caring for their animals.”

The 2018 show was presented by Gerry Lane Enterprises and Nutrien. With additional funding from the Meraux Foundation, said Vickie Hutchinson, director of development for AgCenter livestock programs.

Other top-level donors included First South Farm Credit, Sunshine Quality Solutions, Louisiana Cattlemen’s Association, Louisiana Land Bank and Mosaic, she said.

The Arlene and Joseph Meraux Charitable Foundation endowment supported awards for Supreme Champion animals in all six breeding species — beef cattle, dairy, poultry, sheep, goats and swine. The winners were:

Supreme Champion Beef Bull — Marcelino Rodriguez, Caddo Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Beef Heifer — Leslie Rodriguez, Caddo Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Dairy — Megan Mincey, Denham Springs FFA.

Supreme Champion Goat Buck — Chloe Ayo, Lafourche Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Goat Doe — Sarah Kennedy, St. Tammany Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Sheep Ram — Mackenzie Castro, Assumption Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Sheep Ewe — Mackenzie Castro, Assumption Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Swine — Carson LeBlanc, St. James Parish 4-H.

Supreme Champion Poultry — Jarrett Allemand, Terrebonne Parish 4-H.

Richardson said the livestock show demonstrates the result of years of hard work on the part of the 4‑H and FFA members.

“But we also see the support of parents, teachers, volunteer leaders and others who helped them along the way,” Richardson said.

Six exhibitors earned Premier Exhibitor awards, which place emphasis and recognition on exhibitors’ knowledge and skills in the 4-H and FFA livestock projects. Supported by an endowment from Gerry Lane Enterprises in Baton Rouge, the program is available to participants exhibiting beef, dairy, swine, sheep, poultry and goats. The program tests all facets of youths’ proficiency in their livestock projects through an interview, a resume, a test, a skill-a-thon and showing ability.

Jaryn Darr, a St. James Parish 4-H’er, received the Price LeBlanc Champion Livestock Award, which is presented to one grand champion market animal each year from among five species — steers, swine, sheep, chickens and goats. The award is funded by an endowment from Price LeBlanc, a Baton Rouge automobile dealership.

Junior, intermediate and senior champion showmanship awards were presented to exhibitors in each of the eight animal categories — dairy cattle, beef cattle, swine, exhibition poultry, broiler poultry, sheep, breeding goats and market goats. Supported by an endowment from Nutrien, awards were presented in the junior 9- to 11-year-old, intermediate 12- to 14-year-old and senior 15-year-olds and up divisions.

The livestock show also includes a quality assurance and ethics certification program that educates youth on proper and ethical use of animal health products ensuring a high-quality, wholesome product.

Organizers say youth livestock projects provide a means for families to come together to participate in quality educational activities. Young people say participating in the program gives them opportunities to make new friends, see old friends and gain valuable experience. And everyone agrees it helps youngsters develop character and hone skills that will benefit them, their families and their communities throughout their lives.
