Fair animals teach youth value of hard work

Alyssa Clindaniel was the only member of the Ceres High FFA Club to raise a beef cow for the fair. It was her third year at the fair. She feels that the experience of raising and showing an animal is worth the effort and makes her appreciate the value of hard work. - photo by Jeff Benziger
While many of those who visited the Stanislaus County Fair during its 10-day run came to see the cows, goats, pigs and sheep, many may not realize that the youth who showed livestock have been hard at work for months training, feeding and caring for their animals day-in and day-out.
