      The show world can get super competitive. If you end up with a prize animal, you can bring home a good amount of money from auction.

      Not to mention, for some, its very personal due to the time invested. These kids can put sometimes up to a year, if not more, into raising an animal for a show. They feed them special and care for them in very serious ways, to make them look perfect for a show. It’s like beauty pagent moms, but with kid brains.

        I feel like there is a line somewhere between sabotaging your competition to get ahead on this year competition and doing something to end the competition career of your adversaries.
