The livestock judging crew at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo (seen below). The four years I have been in FFA taught me lessons that will last a lifetime. I ve experienced many failures, as well as many successes through the FFA. FFA has taught me that throughout life, it is important to always be humble, respectful, and hard-working. - Brianna Kunkel 12 The Jasper FFA Chapter has had a busy year as usual yet even with livestock, competitions, and meetings the members and officers have had a great year. Whether the members were involved with livestock or not they got the oppurtunity to visit the animals and help out around at the new barn. As for the kids participating in and raising livestock at the barn they ve also made their marks at rodeos where two of them (Makayla Woolems and Jacarlin Limbrick) won calf scrambles. Welding received a blue ribbon at the San Antonio Livestock and Rodeo while horse judging got the chance to participate in both the San Antonio and Houston Livestock and Rodeo. Even horticulture got involved this year and has completed many projects that will help the community in the future.
