Schroeder Law Offices Returns to the Nevada Junior Livestock Show!

On May 7, 2022, Schroeder Law Offices attended the Nevada Junior Livestock Show in Reno, Nevada. The three-day show was at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Event Center. The show is a place for the National FFA Organization, 4-H, youth Grange, and independent youth members to exhibit their livestock projects before the public. They develop skills and practices related to livestock production. These youth organizations are a popular part of Nevada’s agricultural community. They often are an important family activity for our agricultural clients.

Animals at the show included turkeys, pigs, lambs, goats, and steers. Livestock were judged for quality and breed standards. Youths also competed in showmanship events. These events judged their skills and knowledge in animal handling and rearing. The show ended with the annual market auction. Youth are encouraged to contact local businesses and individuals. Then they can attend the auction and bid on livestock. The Western Nevada Grange invited Schroeder to bid on broad breasted white turkeys raised by the Club’s youth members.

Winning at the Auction

We loved seeing familiar faces in the crowd and attending the Buyer’s dinner. AND we won the bid for Western Nevada Grange Member Sabella Thompson’s turkey! This was Sabella’s first year showing and selling an auction animal for Grange. Sabella sent Schroeder staff home with homemade cookies and her own artwork as a thank you for being her buyer. The cookies didn’t last long, but Sabella’s art is proudly displayed in the office. Schroeder Law Office staff also bid on other livestock to support additional local youth in their livestock rearing endeavors.
