Now that the dust has settled,

Here are the results of Lytle FFA and 4H students and how they did at the 2018 County Show. Lytle ISD livestock showers did extremely well, better than maybe ever, as far as almost every student placing and getting in the sale that culminates the show last Saturday.

STOCKSHOW WAITS FOR NO ONE…. EVEN THOUGH SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT TEXAS WERE SHUT DOWN FOR AN ICE DAY, WE WERE CONTINUING OUR SHOW STARTING THAT TUESDAY AT 7 AM. LIVESTOCK SHOWS TAKE MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR AND MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MAN POWER AND TIME TO ORGANIZE. THIS SHOW IS CARRIED ON BY THE AG TEACHERS IN ATASCOSA COUNTY, ATASCOSA COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT, MANY VOLUNTEERS, SPONSORS, AND OUR STUDENTS. THIS WEEK IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY  EXTREMELY EARLY MORNINGS AND LATE NIGHTS, COLD WEATHER, HARD WORK, LOTS OF COFFEE, AND FRIED STOCKSHOW FOODS.

Ag Mechanics had division champions and reserve champion in 3 of 9 divisions.

·         Devin Diver, Matt Swinney, and Skylar Roberts won their division with a 14’ gate sponsored by the Roberts family.

·         Although, Jr. High, Case Conover, won his division in tractor restoration, bringing in a restored John Deere tractor.

·         Jacob Morales was reserve champion of his division with a cab-over headache rack.

Out of ALL of our FFA members one member stuck out as our MVE (Most Valuable Exhibitor) and that is Kayzen Lassere. This young lady did extraordinary things this year at show in our livestock department. Not only did she place 3 out of 4 pigs, but she also got Grand Champion Junior Swine Showmanship, Reserve Grand Champion Lamb Showmanship, Grand Champion Junior Swine Skill-a-Thon (a 50 question test and interview questions process), and 5th place overall junior livestock judging contest points. She left stockshow with not only being able to sell her animal and pride in her performance, but 2 belt buckles, a monogramed chair, multiple ribbons, and trophy for all her hard work and dedication. Mind you she is one of our Junior FFA members in 5th grade and I can’t wait to see what she does in her upcoming years.

I am proud of each and every one of our Lytle Exhibitors, they showed dedication and determination when it came to our 2018 Atascosa County Stock Show and the fierce competition in which they faced. Please take a minute and look at the photos I have put together for you to see. I know the students would appreciate it.
