By Kaley Bontrager of Next Level Livestock Camps
My family has shown livestock for generations, so when it was finally my turn in the ring, I felt the need to be the best I could be. My parents and Grandpa Ronnie were my biggest supporters, but also my harshest critics. They gave me great advice that mattered not only in the show ring, but also in life.
Whether you are you a new or expert showman, everyone starts with new animals each year so don’t feel discouraged or at a disadvantage. It’s tough work, but it was ingrained in me that if you work hard, the rest will come.
If you're serious about improving your showmanship skills take advantage of livestock camps and clinics near you. For information about Next Level Livestock Camps visit their website atnextlevellivestockcamps.com.
