E. (1) For the purpose of improving the quality of livestock exhibited by Louisiana youths, a premium schedule shall be established by the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College which will recognize and differentiate Louisiana-bred livestock and reward exhibitors of such livestock in greater proportion than exhibitors of livestock not bred in Louisiana.

(2) Funding for such premiums shall be appropriated to Louisiana State University Center for Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and to Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana by the legislature from fees, commissions, and monies collected by the state from race meetings in the amounts provided under R.S. 4:163(L) and from any other sources from which monies may be made available.

(3) Such funds shall be distributed in accordance with the premium schedule at the State Livestock Show held at Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in Baton Rouge, at the six district livestock shows held in Alexandria, Covington, Delhi, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Shreveport, at such other locations as may hereafter be designated by the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College as sites for district livestock shows, and at the Junior Livestock Show held at Southern University in Baton Rouge.
