Spring Branch FFA Annual Show & Sale
from SB+ FEBRUARY 2023
by SB+ Magazine
The sweet sounds of the farm can be heard from a 17-acre plot located deep in the heart of Spring Branch ISD. It is here that Spring Branch FFA (SBFFA) students learn “the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations, even in hours of discouragement,” as expressed by E. M. Tiffany in the FFA Creed. SBFFA is a student-led organization with the goal to make a positive difference in the lives of its members by developing their potential for growth, leadership, and career success through agricultural education.
This unique program has been offering growth opportunities beyond the classroom for over 70 years. It truly has something for everyone, with leadership and career contests ranging from job interviews to meat judging, shooting sports through our Clay Crushers team, to raising a livestock project for a major show or our very own annual show and sale. Livestock projects include heifers, steers, pigs, lambs, goats, turkeys, broilers, and rabbits and these projects range in length from six weeks up to two years. Through one or all of these Spring Branch FFA experiences, students sharpen their strategic and critical thinking, time management, and public speaking skills and prepare themselves for future endeavors.

One of the best ways to see these students in action is at the annual show and sale. For students raising a livestock project, this event is the pinnacle of months of dedication and effort. We hope you will join us in support of SBFFA and these students at the 45th Annual Spring Branch FFA Show & Sale on February 9-11, 2023! The Agricultural Center is located at 1905 Brittmoore Road and more information about this three-day event can be found online at sbffaalumni.com/ showandsale or by contacting Sarah Bernadac at sbffa.alumni.president@gmail.com. We hope to see y’all at the barn!
