Capital Farm Credit, in partnership with Texas 4-H AgriLife Extension and the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, has introduced Texas Show Pass, a new registration portal designed to streamline the livestock show experience for youth exhibitors across Texas.
Texas Show Pass, powered by Capital Farm Credit, is a digital platform designed to modernize livestock show participation across Texas stock shows. It serves as a centralized hub for exhibitor check-ins, livestock verifications, registrations, weight card pickups, and provides family portal access. Texas Show Pass reduces pre-show work, decreases wait times and enhances the show experience. Exhibitors can even complete a single registration for all events they plan to attend throughout the show season.
“This specific collaboration was inspired by a shared commitment to serve agricultural families and youth across Texas,” said Dottie Goebel with Texas 4- H Youth Livestock and Agriculture. “Capital Farm Credit is uniquely positioned to help solve a real need for a modern, streamlined tool to handle livestock show entries, and Texas 4-H and AgriLife Extension immediately saw the potential for how this could strengthen the youth livestock experience.”
The portal offers a centralized platform where exhibitors can submit entries, track deadlines, and access essential resources. By consolidating these functions, Texas Show Pass addresses common challenges faced by youth involved in livestock shows, such as managing multiple forms and meeting various show requirements and deadlines.
“It is an honor to continue initiatives that reflect Capital Farm Credit’s commitment to supporting the next generation of agriculture and the cherished tradition of stock shows in Texas,” said Joseph Paulraj, Capital Farm Credit chief digital officer.
“Data is securely stored and reused across validations and events, streamlining workflows and reducing the risk of errors,” said Paulraj. “ The system minimizes manual data entry and enhances data integrity.”
Capital Farm Credit has a longstanding history of supporting youth in agriculture through scholarships, grants, educational partnerships and specialized loan programs. The introduction of Texas Show Pass aligns with this mission by offering practical solutions that enhance agricultural programs and experiences.
By leveraging the combined expertise of these organizations, Texas Show Pass is positioned to become an invaluable resource for youth exhibitors, promoting greater participation and fostering a more organized and accessible livestock show experience for all.
Texas Show Pass is now available for use at all major stock shows. To learn more or to start using this integrative software, please contact Capital Farm Credit.
