Eafl to bed, 8211157 to 1'1SCQ the hard work pays off if you Win a prize Ag meant raising a project animal and that meant a lot of work and long hours - hours of routine care, hours of grooming, hours at shows. But if their animals won shows all the time and effort paid off for ag students. The area in which they lived limited stu- dents in their choices of animals they could raise. I raised rabbits because I canlt raise any other animal in my neighborhood, fresh- man ,lay Sanders said. Reasons for taking ag differed among the students. Some took ag because of their love for animalsg others were interested in veteri- nary medicine and needed the experienceg and, others wanted to learn more about agri- culture. Ag students participated in various competi- tions. During the summer the ag band won the state talent competition and then a gold medal in national competition in Kansas City, Mis- souri. In September, 12 steers were weighed at the 21st annual weigh-in. Topping the scales were two steers belonging to Kervin Buckner and Debby Schill. Students participated in five shows. No one placed at the Waco Heart of Texas Fair but at the Harris County show, Terri Priesmeyer won Grand Champion penof frier chickens, and Debby Schill won Grand Champion and reserve breeding heifer. In San Antonio at the Southwest Exposition Debby Schill. Robin Lewis and Rhonda Chandler placed in junior heifer class. They also participated in the Houston Livestock show where ,lohn Wendt and Russell Christ won also. At the Aldine Ag Show students had five record-money-holders for grand champions. Preparing the animals for shows was the ,- sas if I? I fs 9 i most important and continuous goal. Fresh- man Rhonda Chandler, who raised a Cham- pion Charolais heifer said in preparing my animal I had to brush her all year round and clip her. Sophomore Jimmy Harris said, Before the show I have to bathe, sheer and brush my lambs. Also I have to tame them enough to hold while the judge feels their mus- cles. . . . I came out 351,100 richer than when I startedf' said freshman Kelly Weiershausen. And that made it all worth the hours spent.
