Escambia County 4-H Livestock Show Results

Youth from Escambia County and surrounding areas had the opportunity to show off their animals and compete for prizes Saturday, April 1 at the Gulf Coast Agriculture and Natural Resources Youth Organization’s annual Spring Livestock Show in Molino. The livestock show, which is supported by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, featured animal exhibits of swine, cattle, poultry, sheep, goats and more. Saturday’s show was the culmination of livestock projects by 4-H youth and FFA members lasting 100 days or longer, during which they raise their animals, monitor their health and nutrition, keep records and work to obtain a buyer. The livestock show took place at the 4-H barns located at 5701 Highway 99 in Molino, in conjunction with the Blue Jacket Jamboree hosted by Northview FFA.
