The 75th Annual Wool and Mohair Show will be held in conjunction with the National 4-H Wool Judging and National FFA Wool Judging contests June 19-21 at the Sutton County 4-H Civic Center in Sonora.
Show activities will include an All-Texas Show, contests for local 4-H and FFA chapters, the 12th annual National FFA Wool Judging Contest and the 52nd Annual National 4-H Wool Judging Contest.
“Even though these contests have been held here for generations, their main purpose has always been to encourage profitable livestock production, knowledge of rangeland vegetation and proper wool and mohair preparation,” said Pascual Hernandez, Texas AgriLife Extension Service agent in Sutton County. “Today, the show focuses on young people only, so we make every effort to offer a fun learning experience that’s geared to ranching practices common throughout our region.”
Sponsors of the events include the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Sonora Lions Club, Sonora Chamber of Commerce and the Sonora Wool and Mohair Company. For more information, contact Hernandez at (325) 387-3101 or p-hernandez@tamu.edu.
