On Saturday, September 26th ,2020, the annual Morgan County 4-H/FFA Livestock Show was held at the Morgan County Fairgrounds. This year’s show was quite different from years past, the most obvious being that normally that Saturday would have been spent on Main Street under the Sorghum Festival tent. However, the opportunity to showcase the hard work of the youth of Morgan County could not be passed. After deciding to postpone the show in July the Morgan County Fair board voted to hold the show later in the year.
Following all CDC, and Morgan County Health Department guidelines, several youth were able to show their livestock projects. There were ten youth who were able to display their projects.
There were also several in attendance who participated in the goat and beef clinic held after the show. The clinic gave 4-H and FFA members the opportunity to learn about showing livestock and how they could start their own projects. Since the Livestock show and the hands on clinic offered the Morgan County extension office has had five youth to express interest in joining 4-H Livestock Club and start a project.
