2012-2013 Stock Show Update reports

Every year the stock shows meet with the FFA Advisors and 4-H Agents to give their updates for the upcoming shows.  Here is a short list of some of the major changes.  You can get a PDF version of each of the stock shows (State Fair of Texas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, San Angelo, Houston, and Austin).  If you would like a copy go to the Kaufman County website to get the updates or email Carrie Sharp, CEA-4-H (cl-sharp@tamu.edu) to have them sent to you.
