The Moore County Stock Show took place on Thursday January 9th at the Moore County Community Building and included hundreds of local participants. We asked Kaden Viner, a local student, to write about the show from his perspective. Below is his article as well as the full 2020 Stock Show results.

A community stock show brings these hard-working students from grades four through twelve into one ring to show off their project animals. These FFA and 4-H members of Moore County have put uncountable early morning hours and late evenings into the specific care of these animals to show their projects to a subjective judge in hopes to take that envied Grand Champion belt buckle home.

In the months spent with their animals, these kids grow attached to the projects like a pet. From feeding and walking to bathing and sheering, knowing that the end will be to say goodbye as the animals load the truck. All the time and effort that has been put into their projects for just a few minutes in the show ring is all it takes to make it all worthwhile.

After the county stock show is over, members of the community come together for a steak dinner and to donate to make it all possible.
