Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation started the Classic Livestock Show to forge stronger connections with youth in agriculture.
The event, first held in 2022, features beef cattle, market hogs, sheep, and goats, with additions like pelleted shavings and online registration.
Substantial cash prizes and high-quality awards draw a significant number of participants.
Mississippi Farm Bureau is optimistic the opportunity they provide youth to showcase their skills will create a generation of young adults with an affinity for Farm Bureau and interest in continuing their involvement in the organization.
