The event will include grooming/fitting demo provided by Sullivan Supplies “Stock Show U”, showmanship demo by the Allgood family, speakers from the National Maine Anjou Office, t-shirts, free BBQ dinner provided by Martindale Feed Mill, and great prizes to be raffled off, INCLUDING a heifer that is donated by Jerry Gibson of 4J Family Parnership.

As Maine Anjou Breeders in the state of Texas, I encourage all of you to make plans to attend this event. It will be a great way to socialize with fellow Texas breeders, meet lots of great young people from throughout the state, and to raise money to benefit the youth.
A display area will be set up to allow TMAA members to display cattle and get their herds noticed by the youth and adults attending the clinic. A nominal fee will be charge for displays to help cover the cost of the facility. Contact me if you are interested in displaying cattle at Maine Education.
The best way to keep up-to-date on Maine Education is to either “like” us on Facebook or visit its website. Check back regularly to see announcements of new speakers and sponsors, and some of the great items that will be raffled and auctioned off. Just reply to this email if you would like to be added to the Maine Education email list or would like to donate something to the fundraiser auction.
