We suggest that if you are showing at the Smithville Livestock Show, that you take pictures of you and your animals throughout your project timeline. In advance of the show, we suggest using those pictures to write prospective buyers.

What should I put in my letter to prospective buyers?

  • Tell them about yourself. Example - My name is Lauren Prine and I am a senior at Smithville High School. I have been an active member in my chapter by showing----------------------, and I have been an FFA officer for three years.
  • Tell them about this year's project, and share pictures.
  • Tell them your goals for this year's project. Example - I plan on showing Ricky Bobby at the Smithville FFA Chapter show, and then taking him to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. 
  • INVITE THEM TO COME TO THE SHOW. Include date and time... make the invite personal
  • Make sure to thank them, and personally sign it!
  • THE MORE PERSONAL AND INVITING THE BETTER. If people get to know you they will become INVESTED in you and your project. 

This doesn't have to be a one time letter. You can write them a letter in the beginning of the year and just tell them you look forward to their support later on in the year. Then up date them as your project goes!!

If you need help please contact your Ag teacher!
