Poultry Show at CCJLSA

 Please see information below and embedded regarding poultry show next week.

  • Sift will be 9-11 a.m. (previous years we have started at 8. With a total of 120 entries, there will be ample time to process entries. Pens arriving in line after 11 a.m. will not show.
  • Turkeys will show first, then broilers, then showmanship. We have junior, intermediate and senior showmanship — six total buckles on offer for your feeders! Please encourage them to participate.
  • The Poultry Committee is partnering with We're All In/Kids Feeding Kids to donate 50-60 broilers to local family and youth shelters. The success of this partnership will come from broiler exhibitors donating a market quality bird (white, red or blue ribbon show quality) on show day. This is a voluntary donation and the poultry committee is arranging processing and delivery. (We don't have the capacity to accept turkeys this year.) 
  • Be sure to remind your first-time exhibitors particularly about appropriate show attire.
  • We have Remind signups to help give updates for broiler and turkey shows, especially regarding sale time on Saturday.

CCJLSA membership meeting minutes

Last night (12/6/2021 at the CCJLSA membership meeting, the following items were discussed. Please share this info with the booster clubs that you meet with.

(1) Wurstfest: we reported gross sales of $105,023 to Wurstfest. After expenses, insurance, etc were deducted - we have a net of $42,248.35. This money is spent by the Auction committee during the SALE

(2) Gala - the Gala is scheduled to be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022 at the New Braunfels Events Center. The band has been booked and we are working on finalizing the caterer for the event. Invitations will be sent after the 2022 youth show to those buyers who purchased something during the show. Smithson Valley FFA is responsible for decoration and clean up of the gala. New Braunfels FFA and Canyon Lake FFA are responsible for the silent auction.

(3) Raffle tickets are at the printer and will be ready to hand out in December. Each chapter will be given a set number of tickets to sell. Raffle ticket money is used by the Auction committee during the SALE

(4) The January CCJLSA meeting will be held Monday, January 10 at the Comal County Fairgrounds. Please note this is a change in location. A rule change proposal for the 2023 Youth show will be presented for the membership to vote on. Only those individuals who are PAID members of CCJLSA by December 1, 2021 (last week) will be eligible to vote. Membership will be checked when entering the meeting before voting cards will be handed out.

The rule change proposal is: Animals will be designated as either Market Sale or Premium Sale at declaration. All Market sale and floored animals become the property of the association and as such are NOT eligible for any other shows. Castrated male hooved animal species and turkeys are the only animals eligible to be declared Premium. All Premium sale animals will sell the ribbon only and no floor price will be given, with ownership of the animal retained by the exhibitor. If an animal previously declared SALE is scratched on the day of the SALE, the animal will be floored and the exhibitor will receive a floor check.

Thanks, Margi

Important Information for CCJLSA 2021 Exhibitors

 Important Information for CCJLSA 2021 Exhibitors

The following are changes that will be implemented at our 2021 Youth Show and must be followed completely.

*Your ag teacher/county agent will be giving you a COVID Protocol form that you and your parent need to sign.  You will need to bring it with you to weigh in and turn it in.

*Masks must be worn at all times when you are in the barn.  This includes when you are in the show ring.  You may not take your mask off while you are showing.

*When you are checking into the show ring, you will be given a name tag with your entry number on it.  You must wear this while you are in the ring.  It will help the ring men write down the correct placing without having to get too close to the exhibitor.  If you have more than one entry, you will receive a new name tag for each animal.

*When you are finished showing, do NOT shake the judge’s hand.  Fist bump or elbow bump is appropriate for this year.

*This year dispositions will be taken at the photography table NOT THE LIVESTOCK OFFICE WINDOW.  You must take a photo with your animal before you leave the fairgrounds.

*All animals except for the Grand and Reserve Grand will be picked up by the floor buyer after the judging.  No animals will go across the auction block with the exception of Grand/Reserve Grand.  You will go onto the auction stage with just your ribbon, banner, buckle and/or trophy. A slide show will be set up and playing while the auction is going on.  The picture you took on the day you showed will be shown when you are on the stage.

*We will need students to help with the runners committee on the day of the auction.  Please check in at the office window and we will help you get to the runners table.

*CCJLSA will not be running the concession stand this year.  If you are a high school student and plan to apply for a CCJLSA scholarship, you must get your volunteer hours in somewhere during the show.  There are plenty of opportunities for you to get some volunteer time in. The poultry show is February 20, Lambs will set up and show on February 28, Goats will set up and show on March 1, Rabbits will set up and show on March 3, Hogs check in on the evening of March 3 and show on March 4, Steers check in on the evening of March 4 and show on March 5.  We will be setting up the auction ring and hospitality area on Friday evening.  You can check in at the livestock office window to find out where you can help.  Volunteer forms are also available in the livestock office.

*We need to limit the number of people that come to the show.  We are asking that you invite immediate family only.  We are setting up a livestream so others can watch the auction from home.  More information about that will be coming as soon as we have it confirmed. We know this is not the way you and your family planned but the pandemic has forced us to make changes in order to have a county show at all.

We appreciate your compliance with all these items.  We do not want to get the show cancelled completely so it will take all of us doing all we can to follow these guidelines!
