Meet Chloe Everson – a Fresno-Central FFA exhibitor who is a junior at Central High School!
Chloe Everson got involved the FFA program because of her
deep passion for animals and her desire to make a difference in the livestock
industry. Due to animals not being able to advocate for themselves, she wants
to be the voice for their well-being, whether that be their physical or
emotional needs. Besides this, the FFA has provided Chloe a chance to develop
leadership, responsibility, and effective communication skills that many others
do not get the chance to learn. The FFA is a remarkably strong program, due to
this Chloe feels she has a second group to call her family and people she can
always rely on. This program is significantly important to her from her
chapters endless support and encouragement to accomplish everything no matter
what.
This year Chloe has a project of a market lamb, this will be her second year raising and showing a lamb at the Big Fresno Fair. Last year she placed 2nd overall in showmanship, and 2nd in her market class. This year she strives to do even better, and show her dedication for this project. Some responsibilities that follow along with raising a market lamb include fulfilling basic animals needs, such as feeding twice a day, maintaining a clean living space, providing fresh water, and monitoring lambs weight as well as exercise time. On the other hand, you have to work with your animal. Halter breaking, walking, bracing, and showmanship practice all fall under this category.
