Southern University 77th Annual State Livestock & Poultry Show is scheduled for February 24 - 26, 2022 at the Maurice A. Edmond Livestock Arena, Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Baton Rouge, LA 70813. The Livestock Show was established by J.W. Fisher, director of the College of Agriculture; Tom J. Jordan, state cooperative extension agents, along with a group of statewide vocational agricultural teachers, agricultural extension workers, and community leaders. The show began as a poultry show. A dairy calf project was added in the second year. That same year, the name was changed to the State Poultry and Dairy Show. The exhibitors were youth from limited-resource families.
