@wch.thornton.farms: To the showman who didn't get the result they wanted: I see you. Failure is just a redirection toward a better version of yourself. #stockshow #4h #livestock #fairseason #4HGrowsHere

「Kaydence || Klover』 :

I aimed for that Showman of Showmen trophy for 14 years. All I have coming out of my final year of fair is a 2nd place ribbon and 2 points away from 1st. Knowing every single mistake I made and how to fix it. But this was my last chance, I worked myself into the ground for it this year. But maybe the trophy I needed was actually the hand written thank you and hugs from young showman who I've had the privilege of helping. Maybe, what actually matters at the end of the day was the circle I had around me after closing ceremonies despite not "winning." And the young showman I get to devote even more to next year when I'm not in the ring myself.

my biggest asset of being a first generation "small farm" failure stings. but failure it's the greatest teacher.

Jonny_Woo80 :

My girls have won, lost, witnessed birth, experienced death, laughed, cried, shown humility, and have been humbled but the most important thing they’ve learned is determination and perseverance and a willingness to become just a little bit better each and every day. It has molded them into the amazing young ladies they are becoming and and succeed in anything that comes their way in this life. What doesn’t challenge you doesn’t change you so get up get at it and give em hell!
