Sometimes they get pretty fat and Im pretty skinny. They come up to my shoulder. Theyre not something you go out and pet, theyre a lot more work. Its teaching me how to be responsible, said Amy. Every day you have to go out and pay attention to them. Sometimes they get sick. Ive only been doing this one year and I started with a baby lamb. I walked it a lot, but sometimes they still get feisty. Animals are like kids, they have to be fed and given a drink. The growth and teaching our children are receiving far outweighs any trial the program may give us, said Law. It really builds their when they are able to see they have accomplished something. It teaches them patience. Sometimes they dont like to loam the patience, but they do. Junior livestock iso teaches the children that everything is not profitable.

My kids dont have a tremendous amount of play time. Their friends like to come over here and help with the animals, so in a way that is helping their friends." Last year Amys lamb had fat where it wasn't supposed to have fat. The judge was so good. He talked with her and by the time he was through he made her feel like she was the queen of the show, said Law. i ... one-on-o- I hope they will continue to have a strong sense of values and respect for other people and animals. They may not always win, but if they give it their best shot they can still be pleased with themselves, said Law. .- - - S-- l fife.
