Thirty students from Methodist Children’s Home (MCH) FFA
chapter competed in the 2015 McLennan County Livestock Show Feb. 2-6 at Extraco
Events Center in Waco. Out of the 30, only three students had ever shown an
animal in a show before.
“This is the largest group of students that we have taken
to a show since I have been an ag teacher here,” said Steve Kruse, Ag teacher.
“It also was the most inexperienced group of kids with so many first time
showman. The teacher in me is extremely proud of what the students have learned
and how they represented Methodist Children’s Home.”
MCH entered two steers, one heifer, seven goats, six lambs
and 14 pigs into the livestock show. One first-year FFA student, Ema, received
Reserve Breed Champion for her Southdown lamb. Ema had never been around
livestock before and had to teach her lamb to brace, stand and be led for the
show. Below is a list of MCH participants:
