So unless you live under a rock, you know that most of the country is in a drought or severe drought conditions. I heard them say on the radio the other day, they haven’t seen conditions this bad since the 50’s. I truthfully love summer and warm weather, but things are REALLY dry around here…

Once you get to the livestock division the kids not only show and compete with their animals but in each division…
