With show season just around the corner, the 4-H and FFA members are getting their animals and themselves ready for the show year. The number of students showing has increased over the past few years. Last year students exhibited 2 sheep, 7 heifers, 5 goats, and 16 pigs. This year students will show 2 sheep, 7 goats, 16 pigs, 17 heifers, and 1 prospect steer.

Our number of students has doubled since I came in 2015. We have gone from 12 kids to 22 kids, from 20 animals, to 43, and 18 students entered into the State Fair of Oklahoma, and 21 students into the Tulsa State Fair, besides our 150 crop exhibits we are taking to show.
