In fact, as part of the FFA program, we had to have projects on the farm, we had to have, like ah in my case chickens as one of my projects to report on and be responsible for. We could have calves that we start out, pigs, whatever the case, and so that was something I liked, I think. We even, part of the projects that we had for instance calves or pigs, we even had to castrate the male animals, learn how to castrate, and we had to learn how to shear sheep. I remember in my junior year we went to Fargo for NDSU for judging contests, and I remember that year I won the State Championship in judging chickens, but I don't have the certificate or anything to back it up.
