Show preparations
The Lampasas County Youth Livestock Show is fast approaching as the first doorway to a busy spring show season. FFA members have entered projects at county and major shows as part of the Lampasas High School curriculum. Lampasas resident Ronnie Baker, top photo, helps LHS ag mechanics students read torque as part of the FFA tractor restoration project. The tractor, a 1948 McCormack-Farmall, is entered in the Angelo Ag Mechanics contest set for February. Students Kelby Jones, Tate Stoneham, Josh Biggs and Colton Baker assist in the effort.
