The Collin County Junior Livestock Show and Sale brought area FFA and 4-H students together to show off their animals and projects. The show began Saturday, Jan. 4, and ended with the county auction Saturday, Jan. 18, in McKinney’s Myers Park after some weather-related delays. Rabbits, poultry, shop projects, swine, goats, lambs, horticulture and cattle were shown by FFA students.

Farmersville ISD had several students who earned ribbons at the show. Students earning top accolades included Grand Champion Shop – Mason Day and Jason Hornbuckle; Addison Horton – Reserve Champion Market Lamb; Kase Thompson – Reserve Champion Hampshire Swine; Zane Thompson – Reserve Champion Crossbreed Swine; Wyatt Jackson – Reserve Champion Berkshire Swine; Landree Jackson – Reserve Champion Black OPB Swine.

“Our student’s success at the Collin County Livestock Show is not just a ribbon won, but a testament to the hard work, dedication and resilience of the Farmersville FFA students,” said FISD FFA advisors. “We hope to continue and build on these successes through the rest of the show season.”
