October 12, 2021 (Photos: Broiler Show, Broiler Sale) - The 2021 East Texas Poultry Festival Broiler Show started off the day at the Shelby County Expo Center.
Sixty-nine Shelby County 4-H and FFA youth exhibited at this year's show, with 40 pens of broilers making the sale. We would like to give special thanks to Judge Micah Osburn for taking the time to come judge the show. Mr. Osburn spoke to several of the exhibitors and gave them several tips on how to grow an outstanding broiler.
