I started showing as a freshman in high school in 1960. O0 I have worked livestock shows ever since. I presently serve on two boards that sponsor livestock shows. My Dad is 84 and still serves on a board. My brother is a chairman of a livestock show. Our children have moved on to other things but we still help others children.
Why I like livestock shows. 1. They have helped parents to develop children. 2. They have brought families together and helped them work together for a common goal. 3. They have brought new breeding programs that have improved the livestock. (The pigs, sheep and cattle we showed in 1960 would be put into isolation today as a freak show.) 4. They have given kids opportunities to achieve and develop skills. 5. They have brought rural America to the cities. 6. They have helped young people go to college. 7. They help young people develop work ethics under various circumstances in life and taught them to improvise to reach a common goal. 8. They teach goals. (cow)
