Howdy and Happy Friday, Y’all!

We wanted to pass on some quick updates for livestock exhibitors – we were hoping to have more information for you this week, but we are still confirming details with most of the major livestock shows.  In the meantime, please remember that Ashley and I are happy to make arrangements to visit you and your livestock projects or answer any questions you have!

MAJOR SHOW UPDATES:

  • Passes: We have not yet received any passes in the mail – we are expecting San Angelo’s to arrive this weekend
  • Information/Reminder Emails: We are working on putting together our reminder emails to send to the exhibitors attending each show (San Angelo & San Antonio should go out Tuesday/Wednesday of next week) – this is a little delayed as we collect information on what passes we will receive at the office and what wristbands/passes will be included
  • Eligibility letters: Eligibility letters have been arranged to go out about 2 weeks before the check in of each of your entries – these were based on the currently posted schedules and are being monitored for any updates
