COVID-19 safety protocols will be in force when the Donley County Junior Livestock Show is held at the Donley County Activity Center this Saturday, January 9, 2021.
County Agent Leonard Haynes says the show will follow the CDC’s guidelines for stock shows, which means participants and those in attendance are encouraged to wear face coverings inside the building this weekend. Haynes said youth exhibitors may remove their masks while they are in the ring showing their animals.
The show board will not be limiting admission this weekend, Haynes said.
“We think attendance will be limited on its own just by people not wanting to get out,” he said.
Haynes also reports anyone wishing to purchase an animal or donate to the buyers’ club can do so by calling ahead of time at 874-2141.
Potential buyers can also request ahead of time to be called when a particular exhibitor’s animal is coming up for auction Saturday in order to participate in the auction via telephone.
Saturday’s show will begin at 9 a.m. with 51 local youth exhibiting 84 animals and representing the Donley County 4-H Club and the FFA chapters at Clarendon and Hedley high schools. The buyers’ dinner will be held at 6 p.m.
Showing for the Clarendon FFA will be Levi Gates, Laney Gates, Emily Gonzalez, Emberly Gonzalez, Darcy Grahn, Kasen Hatley, Calder Havens, Kynna Phillips, and Jodee Pigg.
Donley County 4-H members showing will be Brance Bell, Kyler Bell, Kelby Brownlee, Levi Gates, Laney Gates, Brock Hatley, Addison Havens, Grant Haynes, Parker Haynes, Colton Henson, Hudson Howard, Harrison Howard, Emily McCurdy, Grace McCurdy, Evelyn Mills, Jayton Moore, Kutter O’Keefe, Flint Pittman, Jaxon Robertson, Presley Smith, Madison Smith, Koyt Tucek, Fayde Turner, and Maloree Wann.
