Comanche students recently exhibited their livestock in the Stephens County Livestock Show. Students who participate in showing livestock learn many life lessons along the way including memorable friendships. The people we show livestock with and against become often become friends so close that many are considered family. Passions are discovered, time is spent with family, and the opportunity to be responsible for another living creature.
