Monse Chavez is a Gary 4-H and Gary Jr. FFA Member who shows livestock across the state of Texas year round exhibiting her market goat projects. Monse competed at the State Fair of Texas today and received 5th place out of 44 in her middle weight class. This is OUTSTANDING for many reasons! First, Monse’s family bred and raised this wether goat from their herd of very competitive show goats! Second, the State Fair of Texas is open to EVERY 4-H and FFA member in the State of Texas, meaning the competition was EXTREMELY competitive!
Congrats to Monse and her family on this amazing accomplishment!

Being able to experience opportunities at the collegiate level is extremely important in helping junior high and high school students realize what careers they plan to pursue after graduation. One way to do this is to tour college campuses and make connections with professors in various areas of degree options!
