NUECES COUNTY, Texas \u2014 The annual Nueces County Junior Livestock Show is underway in Robstown, bringing together hundreds of young participants from across the county.<\/p>\n

The event officially kicked off Saturday with a horse show at the equestrian arena and will continue through Sunday, Jan. 18.<\/p>\n

Organizers say the show plays a significant role in developing leadership and responsibility among youth involved in agriculture, homemaking and industry. <\/p>\n

The livestock show began in 1936 as a small gathering on Main Street in Robstown and has since grown into the largest county junior livestock show in Texas.<\/p>\n

Last year, businesses and supporters helped provide a sale venue for 757 exhibitors, with total sales exceeding $1.9 million.<\/p>\n
