so a lot of y’all ain’t got a clue in hell what a stock show is.
So those of you who have no clue what a stock show is-
it’s where kids ages 5-21 get animals through two programs ( 4H or FFA) and we get them at varying times in the year to raise them to market weight for show.
We train our animals for something called showmanship, which is basically the art of looking good. Goats use halters, Cattle use halters and these long ass canes to scratch their bellies, Pigs use special whip, and sheep people just use halters and occasionally their hands??
( I’m not a sheep person, I ain’t got a fucking clue)
but our main thing that we’re graded on there is our performance: keeping eye contact with the judge, keeping our animal moving, and showing off all angles of our livestock to the judge.
then we have the market/breeding class
in that, we are not judged, but our animals are. they are ranked on their more desirable traits and are placed from 1st, to about 10th, everyone else from that class is dismissed. From that, the top three are weighed and the top two are brought back for the grand drive of that breed. the grand drive picks the ultimate winner of the breed or the entire part of that show.
if you win either of these categories, you win a butt load of money from sponsors, you win belt buckles, a banner, and get a back drop picture with your livestock and your family!
I hope that clears everything up!!! Don’t be scared to comment questions!!
those who get it, get it.
those who don’t, don’t. Stock shows have four categories of large livestock-
the Cattle showmen , the Lamb showmen, the Goat showmen, and the Swine Showmen. All of which come with their respective difficulties and challenges- and most importantly- drama. Idk but I think a stock show AOT fic would be absolutely hilarious and witty
