ROC Livestock students proudly represented ROC at the Kern County Fair, competing in lamb, goat, and hog competitions and demonstrating the results of months of dedication and hard work. Through their participation, students showcased not only their animals in the show ring, but also the responsibility, discipline, and commitment required in livestock production.
Preparation for the fair extended well beyond competition day. Students spent countless hours developing showmanship skills, caring for their animals, and learning proper feeding, grooming, and handling techniques. These experiences reflect the hands-on learning at the core of the ROC Livestock program, where students gain real-world skills tied to agriculture, animal science, and career readiness.
Competing at the Kern County Fair also gave students the opportunity to build confidence, practice professionalism, and take pride in representing their school and program within the community. Their efforts highlighted the importance of agriculture education and the valuable role it plays in preparing students for future careers.
Congratulations to all ROC Livestock students for their dedication, perseverance, and outstanding representation at the Kern County Fair. ROC is proud of their accomplishments and the meaningful, hands-on learning taking place in the Livestock program.
