4-H LIVESTOCK

January 11 - PCLIA Steer Tag- In/Major Steer Declaration (see PCLIA for times and the tag order and
declaration link)

June 2-6, 2025 - Parker County Livestock Show

This section is dedicated to our hooved livestock species. Our Ag Agent and Project Leaders across the county
can offer some guidance and suggestions for you in this area, but there are not regularly scheduled project
meetings. You need to consider livestock more of an independent project. There is not a 4-H project barn to
house livestock projects nor is there a 4-H project trailer to transport livestock. Both would be the responsibility
of the exhibitor. If you have never shown livestock, our recommendation is to experience county show twice,
prior to venturing into the major stock show realm. Pardon the pun, but major stock shows are an entirely

different animal and can swallow newbies whole. If you’re wanting to pursue a livestock project, give our Ag
Agent, Charlie Martin, a call (817) 598-6172, prior to the purchase of any livestock, and he can tell you the good,
the bad and the ugly. Please note, there may be age requirements at shows. It is the responsibility of the
exhibitor to review the rules of the show to make sure their age is eligible. Of course, you may always contact
our office and we can also go over age requirements.
