MILLSAP TEEN NEVER ‘BOARED’ BY SHOWING PIGS
Taylor Thompson, a senior at Millsap High School,
started showing pigs in the eleventh grade after her ag
teacher, Drew Casey, approached her about showing
a pig in the county show. Though she has not been
showing long, she fell in love with it fast.
During her junior year, Taylor started out as the
FFA Vice President. Though she was not able to show
this past year, she stayed involved in FFA after she was
promoted to President this past year.
“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and
experience that came along with showing my pig,” said
Taylor. “It would not have been possible without the
incredible people in my life.”
“My favorite part about showing was bonding with
the animal itself,” said Taylor. “My pig had a personality
of her own, and always kept me on my toes.” She
believes that showing has taught her responsibility,
patience and time management. Her favorite memory
from showing was when her mom was with her to feed
her pig, and when she turned around, her 350-pound
pig was chasing her mom around.
Besides her Ag activities, Taylor is also involved in
FCCLA, class officers, NSHSS, and Beta club, in which
she was the president this past year. After graduation,
she plans on attending Howard College to judge
livestock, and eventually transfer to Tarleton to get her
degree in education. She hopes to teach kindergarten.
