Annual Livestock Show And Sale Saturday At New 4-H Barns In Molino
April 17, 2015
The Gulf Coast Agriculture and Natural Resources Youth Organization (GCA & NRYO) Spring Livestock Show will take place Saturday in Molino. It will be the first youth livestock show and sale at the newly complete 4-H barns at 5701 South Highway 99 just north of Chalker Road.
FFA and 4-H youth ages 8-18 will exhibit rabbits, poultry, swine and cattle followed by a live auction.
The GCA & NYRO is a support organization of 4-H and FFA. This organization gives the youth of Escambia County and surrounding counties of Florida and Alabama the opportunity to show off skills they have learned from their 4-H and FFA animal sciences projects. Local 4-H youth have been diligently working on their projects this year and will be competing in the event. The livestock show will start at 8 a.m.
The complete livestock show schedule of events is as follows:
- Rabbits and Poultry Exhibit: 8-9 a.m.
- Swine show: 9 a.m. – noon
- Market Steer Show: 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
- Heifer Show: 1:30-3 p.m.
- Goat and Lamb Show: 3-4 p.m.
- Preview Steer Show: 4-4:30 p.m.
- Sale: 5 p.m.
All events will be held regardless of rain.
A formal ribbon cutting for the new 4-H barns will take place at 8:30 a.m. at the show barn.

The NorthEscambia community was very vocal with their support for the kids to get property and facilities to replace Langley Bell, please show your continued support and come and congratulate these kids on a job well done, and get some fresh meat in the process. There will be roughly 40 hogs, 10 steers, and a goat up for auction. It doesn’t get more farm to table than this.
I think this will be a great facility once it’s complete. This is a great opportunity for the kids. We are extremely happy it is here.
Seeing them there in that muddy field.
Things have certainly fallen away from the vision and provision of Langley Bell.
I bet with the weather and ground conditions due to all the RAIN……
It will be a memorable event.
Brings back old memories of my youth showing livestock @ the old fairgrounds on Fairfield Drive. Best of luck to all participants. May this new facility serve many future 4H and FFA youth.
