Gainesville ISD students shine at Cooke County Livestock Show

GAINESVILLE, Texas — Gainesville ISD students brought home a strong showing at the annual Cooke County Livestock Show, with multiple students earning recognition across several categories. The livestock show, a cornerstone of agricultural education in Cooke County, gave local students the opportunity to demonstrate skills honed through months of preparation in their FFA and 4-H programs. Gainesville ISD competitors displayed market and breeding animals across multiple divisions. The Cooke County Livestock Show draws participants from school districts across the county each year and serves as a key stepping stone for students pursuing careers in agriculture. For many competitors, the show represents the culmination of a year-long commitment to feeding, grooming and training their animals. Gainesville ISD's agricultural education program continues to produce competitive showmen, reflecting the district's investment in career and technical education pathways. Students who excel at the county level often advance to compete at regional and state livestock shows, including the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo and the Houston Livestock Show. Full results from the Cooke County Livestock Show are available through Gainesville ISD.
