Catalog

The catalog, seen by all who attend the Georgia Junior National Livestock Show, salutes past winners of the show, provides information needed to the exhibitors and displays advertisements which support our program.

Since 1995, proceeds from this Junior Livestock Catalog have provided 4-H and FFA members with scholarships for those who excelled in 12th grade showmanship. For the 2018-2019 Show Season the top 12th grade showmen in the State beef cattle, breeding ewe, commercial dairy heifer, market hog, commercial doe, market lamb and market goat shows are eligible for a $500 scholarship. The Reserve Champion 12th grade showmen in the before mentioned species showmanship competitions are eligible for a $250 scholarship. Your support of this catalog will allow us to continue to offer these types of opportunities. Thank you in advance for your support.

Student Spotlight

Each year, Georgia 4-H and FFA spotlight six young people in the Georgia Jr. Livestock Catalog at the State Livestock Show in February. One student in each category is recognized (swine, beef, dairy, sheep, and goat species), and an “All Around” exhibitor. If you have a student whom you feel truly defines all that is good about the junior livestock program, please nominate him or her for the Catalog Student Spotlight.

We are looking for students who are the epitome of hard work, fair play, character, and project growth. Regardless of the color ribbons they win, or the size of their operation, we want to spotlight those who define all that is good about the junior livestock program.

Nomination forms for 4-H members are due on January 4, 2019.

Send 4-H Nominations to:

Heather K. Shultz
Georgia 4-H
321 Hoke Smith Annex – UGA
Athens, GA 30602

We have hundreds of wonderful young people who deserve to be recognized. Please help us find them!
