About the Bosque County Hay Show

The first Bosque County Hay Show was held in Clifton in 1979 with the purpose of providing producers with information as to the quality of the hay they are producing.

By knowing the quality, producers know if their hay has adequate protein or if they need additional supplements to meet the requirements of their livestock.

Along with the hay from this contest, the committee has fundraised to provide scholarship opportunities to FFA & 4-H members from Bosque County.
