Today was pig show day at the Ellis County Youth Expo and all 13 of our exhibitors did AWESOME!
We may not have gotten as many sale holes as we would have liked, several of our students finished on "the bubble", just one shot out of the sale.
We were able to snag 2 sale spots by Casen Cook with his Duroc gilt and Aubri Aduddell with her Hamp gilt.
Casen Cook and Emma Spurlock were also called back for showmanship!
Heifers and Steers finish the week, tomorrow.

The Ellis County Youth Expo continues to be good to Palmer Jr/ FFA students this week!
Following the success of the Broiler show, we had 3/4 pens of market rabbits make sale and several breeding rabbits placed well in their classes! Congrats to Peyton New, Gracie Zhanel, Cole Spurlock, Amethyst Ivie, Reese Zhanel, Kaylee Cargil and Ian Smith!
Today, goats showed and Rosa Castillo was able to sneak a sale spot as well in a very deep, very tough middle weight class.
Tomorrow pigs show and we are ready to keep the motivation!
