0% Youth Livestock Financing Program
Each year, we are pleased to offer special incentives, promotions and opportunities in support of these programs, including 0% Financing (until the first check is received) on products within our feed, feeding equipment, animal health and show supply departments. The 4-H/FFA 0% Financing Program is available to any 4-H/FFA member showing market livestock during the current show/show year. Financing applications can be found, here, and need to be re-filed each year. Print out the 4-H/FFA Livestock Agreement Form and bring it in to see your local store manager for program specifics.
Market Livestock Showcase
Submit your show photo’s here, showcasing your market project and you might be picked to be featured in upcoming Rockingham Cooperative market animal promotions. Showcase your finished project, and any Rockingham Cooperative feeds/products that you used throughout the year.
Introducing Amino Power Show Feeds
Amino Power Show Feeds are available at your local Rockingham Cooperative. This line of show feed, milled at Rockingham Mill in Dayton, offers nutrition for cattle, goats and lambs so you can supplement to achieve your desired result with your show animals – year round.
The lamb, goat, and cattle feed are textured with a hefty molasses covering to ensure palatability. All three types of feed hold similar science in each bag, with a focus on amino acid profiles to ensure maximum digestibility and absorption of nutrients for your show livestock. Many youth exhibitors and breeders have chosen to feed Amino Power for its ability to maximize genetic potential and for its economical price-point.
Rockingham Cooperative is proud to be in a place where we are able to support our local 4-H & FFA youth exhibitors. $1 from each bag of Amino Power Show Feed sold goes back into our 4-H & FFA Youth Livestock Support Fund, to purchase animals at the county livestock show and sales we support each year! Purchase a bag of Amino Power Show Feed for your livestock and notice the difference it provides in their lean muscle growth and feed conversion.

Join us at a Show Team Event!
We look forward to having several Show Team events held across our service area this upcoming show season and invite you to join us at any of them that will be relevant for you and your experience level!
Show Team events will cover a wide variety of topics - from kicking off our project year on the right foot, to meeting nutritional needs for our livestock, and even getting show ring ready. Our goal is to help make you a well-rounded exhibitor and showmen!
One of our most widely attended events over the years is Market Animal College which is the premiere youth livestock training event in Virginia, providing hands-on learning opportunities for youth interested in showing livestock of all ages and experiences! Mark your calendars for our event on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at the Rockingham County Fair Grounds.
Look for more information in our Facebook group and here on our website once we have dates announced for our Show Team events for the 2025-2025 show season!
Proud Supporters of the Future of Agriculture!
Rockingham Cooperative proudly attends and supports over 20 youth livestock premium auctions across our service area to directly support members of our Show Team.
We know that it may be difficult for all of our Show Team members to visit a Rockingham Cooperative location due to geographical and scheduling issues. That is why we’ve made a simple online form for 4-H & FFA youth exhibitors to submit their request for support prior to their county fair.
Can’t wait to see you at your county fair this summer!
