Getting Ready: Youth Attend GCA & NRA Grooming Clinic

February 19, 2013

The Gulf Coast Agricultural and Natural Resources Association held their annual Grooming Clinic recently.

Youth exhibitors were able to learn how to better feed, groom and show their animals in preparation for the upcoming GCA & NRA Livestock Show.

The 4-H and FFA youth received information from experts in the various areas of animal exhibition. The swine clinician was Chris George from Eclectic, AL; the cattle clinicians were Logan and Spencer Williamson from Brewton; and the goat clinician was Lorie Kent. The exhibitors were able to gather valuable information from each of the experts.

The GCA & NRA Livestock Show will begin at 9 a.m. on April 6 at the Langley Bell 4-H Camp on NineĀ  Mile Road. Youth ages 8-18 will exhibit rabbits, poultry, goats, swine and cattle.

    Has been an enjoyable 20 years. It is sad that it will soon end at the Langley Bell 4-H center. Hope it will be replaced with like acreage.
