Greg Sharber, agriculture instructor at Elmore City schools, may have a few less years in his current FFA/4-H program than some of his other peers in Garvin County, but he has seen plenty of success to build on as he enters his fourth year.

In was at the 2010 county livestock show where Sharber noted that the school had one of its best years since he started with both the students and the animals they presented. The number of animals that reached premium sale was the most

he’s seen since he arrived and he feels he can build on it as more students as well as animals will be participating when the show comes around again later this month.

“It gets those students involved in different aspects so I’m excited about that,” said Sharber, who added that about 45 kids are coming this year. “Every student’s project is important and we’re going to try and help them do the best in that aspect.”

One of the highlights of last year’s show for Sharber was when the school

won Grand Champion in Wether Goat through 4-H member Heath Collins. His own daughter, Hannah, has been showing since she was nine with 4-H and will be entering as an FFA member for the first time this year.

Sharber said that he feels everything will be relatively balanced this time around with about 55 pigs, seven sheep, nine goats and an increase in calves from last year to seven instead of the usual few. Their usual strength has been in swine, though he feels confident they will come out decently overall.

Throughout it all, Sharber said the one thing he knows he can count on is that the parents of these kids will be involved, which adds to the winning formula. This should reflect well with the increased cattle numbers and help reinforce how well rounded everything else turns out.

“If we have a little luck to go along with it, we could have a grand or reserve in all species... Any time you can have a grand champion that’s as good as it gets,” said Sharber. “I think we have good quality in all of them.”


ELMORE CITY-PERNELL

ECP hopes to build off success of 2010 show


There may be no shortage of new kids on the scene when the 74th Annual Garvin County Livestock Show comes around later this month, but that doesn’t mean they will be ill prepared.

Jim Parks, Ag Teacher for Pauls Valley schools, has learned over his 27 years in the program to not have his students look at the challenges as insur-mountable, but as motivation. He not only gives the wisdom that has come with his own experience, but allows the kids to learn at a comfortable pace as each of them raises the animals to showing age.

The success of the efforts in the

Garvin County seat speaks for itself as positives like 30 PV animals out of a total of about 120 from all schools reaching premium sale and bringing around $1,500 to the program from last year’s show, said Parks. They’ve always done well in swine competition, taking 100 pigs last year with honors along the lines like FFA participant Taner Campbell’s grand champion gilt.

“With all those animals it’s chal-lenging at some point... You deal with different people and animals and they all react differently,” said Parks. “It’s rewarding, hard work because it’s tough to sell.”

This year Parks feels things should be just as well rounded, as they plan to take 70 pigs, 20 sheep and goats

and seven or eight head of cattle. He enjoys each aspect of the competition and keeps an eye on the peewee entries, which always yield future FFA and 4-H members.

In the end, Parks said seeing the kid’s enjoyment makes it all worthwhile, especially those who do not expect to come away with awards. Though things like the Youth Expo in March follow the show, the kids feel prepared because this is the one big event they always hope to do the best at.

“It’s always good to get as many animals as you can because the kids benefit. Sometimes the thing that stands out the most is that when it’s over,” said Parks. “This is kind of our Super Bowl.”

If there was any lack of excitement from agriculture students in Stratford after last year’s Garvin County Livestock Show, one would have had a difficult time detecting it.

As with the other communities par-ticipating annually, it is a major regional event where FFA and 4-H students make or break when it comes to showing off their animal care skills, said Justin Wright, Stratford instructor. As he enters his 9th year in his district, he said he looks forward to what is always a learn-ing process for leaders and kids alike.

The learning process is both a mix of Wright’s own experiences that date back to when he would show swine to pairing up newcomers with older kids.

For the 74th annual show, they will again take the approach that each day is like starting efforts over, but in different categories.

“One thing I’ve learned is you defi-nitely can’t expect same thing each day,” said Wright, noting that animals on rare occasions have even died. “They learn well from each other, so you hook them up with other kids.”

An area where Wright has seen suc-cess in the program is when it comes to cattle, most recently when 7th grad-er Lane Martin earned 2010’s Grand Champion in the steer category. Martin earned the honor once before as well and since he is still in middle school, he can compete until he is a senior.

A key thing Wright wants all of his kids to realize is that while they may not win, these are lessons they will take with

them the rest of their lives. He also keeps in mind that there are other activities that the kids will want to do outside of agri-

culture, which keeps it fun and relaxes some of the stress. There are about five
