Calling All Southwest Region Louisiana 4-H & FFA Livestock Exhibitors!
Join us on November 30, 2026, in Acadia Parish for the Southwest Regional Showmanship Clinic! This hands-on learning experience is open to youth in grades 4-12 and is designed to help exhibitors improve their showmanship skills, gain confidence in the show ring, and learn more about animal nutrition, health, daily care, and livestock project management.
Participants will rotate through educational sessions, enjoy species-specific breakout workshops, and have the opportunity to ask questions and receive one-on-one assistance from experienced livestock volunteers. Youth are welcome to bring their own animals for hands-on practice, but bringing an animal is not required.
-Open to 4-H & FFA Members in 4-12 grade only! Must completely register through 4-HOnline event to participate!
-Registration is OPEN now and closes September 30 through 4-HOnline
