Stock show, clubs have rich histories

FFA and 4H members from throughout Terry County will be hoping to secure a ribbon or title in the area’s yearly stock show this month. They have worked endlessly grooming and training their animals, under the guidance of their club sponsors, and are now ready to put their projects to the test. There is much known about the exhibitors, sponsors, and even the breeds of animals. Few, however, know the history of the two major organizations that make it possible for students interested in livestock to compete at this level.
