Located in Texas, our organization is dedicated to promoting the hobby of poultry exhibition and education through various events. The Yellow Rose Classic was established by the Texas Independent Flock Owners Association to fill the gap between scattered shows across the state, providing a premier platform for enthusiasts to showcase their prized birds.
Our Mission
The goals of the Yellow Rose Classic are multifaceted:
- Grow Interest : We aim to introduce people to the world of poultry exhibition in areas where it may not have been accessible before.
- Empower Youth : By providing education, support, and hands-on experience, we strive to foster a passion for the hobby among young minds and ensure the future success of our industry.
- Standardization : We promote awareness of the Standard of Perfection in poultry breeds, encouraging breeders to uphold the highest standards of excellence.
- Sustainable Practices : Our event supports responsible animal husbandry practices, highlighting the importance of caring for animals with dignity and respect.
The Significance of the Yellow Rose
In Texas history, the "Yellow Rose" holds a legendary significance. Unsubstantiated legend claims that a mysterious woman, known as the Yellow Rose of Texas, played a crucial role in the Battle of San Jacinto, helping to secure Texas's independence from Mexico. While the truth behind this story remains unclear, it has become an enduring symbol of Texas pride and spirit.
