en-year-old Will McGee is an old hand at showing
animals at the stock show. This will be his fourth year
to participate with the Brock FFA group. Will shows pigs,
either Hampshires or crosses, and says he enjoys showing
because he gets to see his friends. He hasn’t chosen his pigs
for this season, but in February he said he will be looking for
“muscle, pattern, nice shoulders and a square butt.” He has
had some success in past shows, earning over $5,000 in the
past three years, and his animals have always made the sale.

“He has learned discipline, keeping regular feeding times for
the pigs, showing work ethic, and learned decision-making
skills since he has to determine what to feed them to gain or
lose weight,” said his mother Nicki McGee. “He is very
conscientious about caring for his animals, going out to feed
them in both the morning and the evening.” The pigs live in
Brock on a farm owned by a family friend.
Will attends Weatherford Christian School where his favorite
subject is social studies. According to Will, “I think it’s cool
to learn about people who were around a long time ago.”
He also enjoys playing basketball and running cross country.
His favorite part about showing the pigs is, “You have lots of
friends who are also showing, and whenever I win I get
bragging rights.”
