KATY, TX (Covering Katy News) – For the last 80 years, the Katy ISD FFA Livestock Show has provided opportunities for students to develop and showcase their talents in a diverse range of agricultural pathways. This year, the District has again partnered with the Katy Rodeo Committee to continue this tradition February 14-18 at the Young Agricultural Sciences Center.
Students will compete in categories including steers, goats, lambs, hogs, broilers, and rabbits.
“This year, we will celebrate eight decades of agricultural success in the Katy ISD school community," said David Laird, Katy ISD FFA Events Coordinator. "Four hundred and seventy-seven FFA students, with the support of their agriculture teachers and families, have put a tremendous amount of time and effort into their animal projects. We are excited to honor the tradition of Katy ISD FFA and the people who have made this program one of the best in the State of Texas."
The public can support Katy ISD FFA students through auction and barn sale purchases, along with add-on donations in-person or online.
