This year-long program is designed for freshmen and allows participants to:
- receive one-on-one training with program coaches.
- help host multiple 4-H and FFA livestock judging contests throughout the state.
- participate in internships with the San Antonio Livestock Exposition, National Swine Registry, State Fair of Texas, and Texas Pork Producers Association.
- actively participate in the Blinn College Ag Club.
- live in the Blinn College Park Apartments.
After completing their freshman year, Redshirt Program participants may earn a scholarship and compete on the traveling team during their sophomore year.
