PERRY — The Lowndes FFA cattle team, made up of 6-12th grade students from Lowndes County Schools shined brightly at the Georgia National Fair.
The team brought home the Reserve Champion Herdsman Award for the second year in a row based on their teamwork, industry knowledge, and cattle herdsman skills. These competitors work with the beef projects as part of their Supervised Agricultural Experience to secure the future of the cattle industry and its importance in our daily lives.
In addition, the exhibitors placed high within their calf and showmanship classes. The cattle show team will continue with their project until March 11 at 6 p.m. when they will host their final show of the season at the Valdosta Civic Center.
The public is invited to visit the show and the sale the following day to support these hardworking students.
