McLoud FFA students had a good day at the county fair. Hours of hard work, frustrations, perseverance, and dedication to learning paid dividends to the students. In the sheep show-division winners were, Caidence Rice, Alaina Morris, Liberty Austin, and Jade Villalobos. Alaina was also Reserve Grand ewe and Jade was Grand wether lamb. We took 11 students to the sheep show with 5 of these students having never shown a lamb before. It was a great learning tool for them to get the “first show” out of the way. At the awards ceremony last night McLoud had the 3rd place senior livestock judging team, the 2nd place junior livestock judging team and Alaina Morris was 2nd high individual. The students were also rewarded with winning Swine herdsmanship AND Sheep herdsmanship awards. These 2 awards are a testament to good students living the motto of doing the right thing when nobody is watching. Super proud of these two awards. And lastly, Daisy Duvall was named as the grand champion shop project with her bale feeder she built in ag shop. This project was full of angles, circumference measurements, and geometric designs that challenged her and frustrated her from time to time. I am super proud of all McLoud 4-H and FFA students. Way to represent McLoud. I will have swine pictures coming soon.
