“My favorite part about showing animals is probably the friends you meet,” junior Lilly Thurman said. “Traveling from place to place, we get a lot of time to communicate. We basically are family when we are done showing. I’ve shown pigs, goats and rabbits since I was in third grade. I get my animals in July, and we have them until the majors in spring. Every day I have to walk them, and I feed them twice a day. It has taught me responsibility, work ethic and leadership.”
