The South Carolina Jr. Beef Round Up is a multi-state youth livestock exhibition in
the Upstate of South Carolina. The youth compete in Showmanship, breed shows and for three
to four thousand dollars worth of scholarships and savings bonds every year. We have about
three hundred and twenty heifers and about one hundred and eighty kids this year.
As far as being a student at Clemson University and studying for tests, as far as future careers
and future jobs in the beef industry, the Jr. Beef Round Up really helps me achieve
my goals.
I like Jr. Beef Round Up because it gives me experience for Nationals and the big shows.
This is a positive activity that I would recommend to other parents, because it takes kids whether
they're involved in agriculture or not and it enables them to do something that they
haven't been able to do; and it's all positive.
The kids that you see here are the next generation. We hope to continue to promote agriculture
and beef cattle through education and exhibition in South Carolina.
