While attending the Ft. Worth Livestock Show, all students exhibiting animals are being supervised by the Ag Sponsor from the time of the loading of their project(s) for the show until they are released to their parents after the completion of the show or by the Ag Sponsor. Therefore all students are to work together to maintain a clean display area for their particular species. This includes but is not limited to watering all animals, scooping manure, raking the display area, and ensuring the safety of all animals. If you have any questions feel free to contact the agriculture advisor.
