A At the heart of Future Farmers of America was hard work. Careful selection of stock and day in day out care, exercise and feeding produced five breed champions, two reserve breed champions and a reserve grand champion. Ninety-five of Lanier's 222 entries placed in livestock competition. In the Austin Livestock Show, James Collins won breed champion in Hereford calves, Debbie Hippie and James Reeves won breed and reserve breed champion Hampshire hogs. Dean Watson's breeding sheep, a buck Delaine and ewe Delaine, w QA, ,wifi Q? M35 both took breed champion. Mary Beth Motl won Reserve Grand Champion in capon competition. The work started early in the year. Members visited local ranches looking for promising stock. Calves were in feed by September 1 , hogs and sheep later in the fall. From then on, stock needed daily attention. President Linda Johnson, in addition to coordinating all activities of the big club, fed her calf twice a day, brushed it for fifteen minutes, and walked it at least a mile and a half, rain or shine. The goals, straightness of back, muscling, finish, balance, and movement could lead to awards and increasing sales value. But most important, the people who worked learned leadership and responsibility, as well as practical economics of agriculture, FFA met monthly - Tuesdays at 7 p.m. to plan activities. lt was run by students. They raised enough money through selling calendars, calendar ads, fertilizer, plants, and raffle tickets to pay for an 5800 barbeque banquet May 20, for members and parents. ffa 231
