Area residents and livestock enthusiasts are encouraged to mark their calendars for an upcoming regional agricultural event, as DeSoto Parish 4-H prepares to host its annual 4-H Legacy Livestock Sale over Memorial Day weekend.

Set for Saturday, May 23, 2026, the event will take place at the Dave Means 4-H Building in Grand Cane, offering a convenient “one-stop shop” for youth and families involved in 4-H livestock projects across North Louisiana, including neighboring Claiborne Parish.

According to event organizers, Louisiana breeders will be on-site with a wide selection of animals, including market goats, breeding goats, swine, and sheep, giving 4-H members the opportunity to purchase quality livestock for upcoming show seasons.

The event will begin with animal viewing at 10 a.m., followed by the sale starting at 1 p.m. Organizers say the sale is designed to support youth development in agriculture while connecting local families with reputable breeders.

The 4-H program, operated through the LSU AgCenter, plays a vital role in developing leadership, responsibility, and hands-on agricultural skills among young people throughout the state.

Community members from Claiborne Parish and surrounding areas are invited to attend, whether to support local youth, explore livestock opportunities, or learn more about involvement in 4-H programs.
