Norte Vista Agriculture had 38 students participate in the So Cal Livestock Show at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds this past week. The Livestock shows are the culmination of the students Supervised Agricultural Experience projects that are part of their grades in their Ag classes. Students spend countless hours leading up to the fair, each year, feeding caring for and practicing with their livestock projects to prepare them for showing and marketing.
