By Sandy Morris
The Shackelford County Youth and Livestock Association met on Tuesday, April 13 to begin making plans for next year’s county livestock show.
The 2022 SCYLA show will be held Jan. 20-22, 2022, with a Pig Sale scheduled for Sept. 12, 2021.
Directors & Officers
Director Rocky Vinson, who is moving, was replaced on the board by Logan Neve.
Other current directors include Garry Edgar, Mike Folsom, Mike Parsons, J.W. Askew, Cody Leech, John Caldwell, and Jim Owen.
All four officers were re-elected to the same positions they held this year.
Bronco Askew continues to serves as board president.
Austin Sherwood remains as vice president, Molly Cauble will stay as treasurer, and Tisha Wilkins will continue as secretary.
Show Superintendents
Show superintendents for 2022 are all familiar faces, with a few changes.
Austin Sherwood will return as show superintendent for 2022.
An additional barn superintendent, Brandon Roysdon, was added and will assist Matt Duke with those duties. Mike Parsons and Kalico Leech continue to head sales.
Sherwood is replacing Rocky Vinson as showmanship superintendent.
Debra Boyett is still in charge of the concession stand.

2022 Changes
Amendments to the rules were suggested, and changes adopted for next year include dropping the number from five entries to three in a breed to constitute a separate class.
Another change is that the association will no longer host a Buyer Seller Banquet.
