Another Richmond County Livestock Show in the books!

We had over 55 youth exhibitors from across 12 counties participate in our goat and heifer show! These kids, their animals and their families have worked hard. Raising livestock is a responsibility that requires attention 365 days a year. Some of these families have traveled well over 200 miles in the last 24 hours to participate in two other shows that are also part of the Farm Credit Circuit. That takes serious dedication!

We would like to thank Millstone 4-H Camp for hosting us once again and to all of our awesome volunteers that helped make this show possible.

Additionally, our show would not be a success without the support of our donors and sponsors. A big thank you to Richmond County Farm Bureau, AgSouth Farm Credit, Quality Equipment, Tedder Trash, E.E. Vuncannon, and Tractor Supply of Rockingham! We also want to recognize the American Legion Post 147 for taking the time out of their schedule to cook up some awesome hamburgers and hotdogs for us!
