"I have been showing goats for almost 5 years. My favorite part about showing is always improving and the drive to succeed." Logan Fife, 11th grader, WSHS FFA
"Showing lambs is a super bittersweet sport. There is so much work put into these animals just to get around 15 minutes in a show ring with a handshake from a judge almost guaranteed. I feel this industry is the most pure representation of how you have to work hard to succeed. Many hours of blood, sweat, and ears are poured into these animals and I love it." Kylie Sasaki, 10th grade WSHS FFA
