Big R Producing Partners 2026!

Big R is proud to support and encourage our 4-H, FFA & other livestock exhibitors to join their Producing Partners Program. It is a large investment for the feed, supplies and clothing needed to be a livestock exhibitor and Big R wants to help and invite you to be a part of their program.

Big R has combined all of the traditional discounts they offer in the past for feed, show supplies and clothing into one simple program. The combined amounts have been taken into consideration to determine how much support each Producing Partner will receive for the project they have chosen.

Big R will sponsor a maximum of 1 large animal and 1 small animal per participant. Please make sure you list Big R as your Primary Store.

Please use the link below to receive you gift card:
