Royal FFA Exhibitors Win BIG at the Texas Major Livestock Shows

The Royal FFA Exhibitors and Show team has been working very hard over the last few weeks and months preparing their livestock for a chance to compete at the Texas Major Livestock Shows. “Major” shows such as the Houston Livestock Show, Austin and San Antonio were offered to exhibitors this year thankfully and our members could not have been more excited to show off their livestock projects. These shows are the most highly sought after shows that students compete in annually. 4-H and FFA members across the great state of Texas come together in some of the largest shows each year. This year, the Royal FFA students had 13 exhibitors participate, showing their hearts out. Daily care and maintenance, grooming and showmanship practice of the livestock, all happens at home. Congratulations to all of our hardworking Exhibitors and way to go on your accomplishments this spring!

Congratulations again to all of our Royal FFA Champions both at the backdrop and at the stalls and good luck in the coming events!
