Altus show set for this weekend

Dates for the 2007 Jackson County Junior Livestock Show have been set for Feb. 23 through Feb. 26.

Darrin Ames serves as chairman of the Livestock Show Action Group, and Rod Nichols serves as general superintendent of the show.

This is the 63rd year for this youth agriculture related educational program sponsored by the Altus Chamber of Commerce. The overall purpose of the show is to highlight agriculture and provide a forum for the youth of our county to look at agriculture as a career choice. These students spend many hours raising their animals, keeping records and then showing the animals. The early estimate for entries for the 2007 show is approximately 380 animals.

Weigh in of stockers for the Altus FFA Livestock Booster Club's Annual FFA & 4-H Livestock Show will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17, with stocker weigh-back and judging set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18. The show will be held at the Altus FFA School Farm.

The Show Catalog is available at the chamber office and at www.altuschamber.com .

The Premium Auction will be held Monday, Feb. 26. Tickets have been sent to all former bidders of the Premium Auction.

All activities will be held at the Jackson County Expo Center.
