The 2020 East Texas Poultry Festival Broiler Show started off the day at the Shelby County Expo Center.

     

Fifty-eight Shelby County 4-H and FFA youth exhibited at this year's show, with 40 pens of broilers making the sale. We would like to give special thanks to Judge Micah Osburn for taking the time to come judge the show. Mr. Osburn spoke to several of the exhibitors and gave them several tips on how to grow an outstanding broiler.

     

The 2020 East Texas Poultry Festival Broiler Sale started at 7 P.M. under the big tent behind the Shelby County Civic Center. A total of $132,750 was raised for 4-H and FFA youth!
