Join Rockingham Cooperative for our 2026 Show Team Launch Meetings
We’re excited to welcome 4-H and FFA members from across our service area to kick off livestock show season at our Show Team Launch Meetings.
You only need to attend one Launch Meeting to be part of the Rockingham Cooperative Show Team. Multiple events are scheduled across the region to give families the flexibility to choose the date and location that works best.
What to Expect:
An overview of the Rockingham Cooperative Show Team
Expert tips for selecting the best livestock
A hands-on show feed shopping activity
A live exercise and training demonstration
The debut of our NEW Amino Power Show Feed Formulations
Keynote address from Wes Dove of Dove Development & Consulting — Wes will share practical tools that reveal how recognizing communication patterns can make life less stressful and more productive. You’ll walk away with insights that apply far beyond the show ring.
Plus, a few fun activities throughout the night
Why Attend?
Pre-registered youth exhibitors are automatically entered to win exciting prizes, including a show supply package, vendor gifts, and Rockingham Cooperative merch.
Every participant receives a Show Team Starter Pack.
Attendees also earn an entry into our Grand Show Team Prize Pack (awarded at Market Animal College on April 25, 2026).
Attending a Launch Meeting also gets you started on the path to becoming a Show Team Premiere Exhibitor. Premiere Exhibitors attend at least 2 of 3 Show Team events (Launch Meeting, Educational Meeting, Market Animal College) and submit a letter requesting Rockingham Cooperative’s support at their county show or sale.
