My name is Riley Kirkpatrick, I am a senior this year, and it is my fourth year showing livestock. I am the vice president of Legacy FFA as well as a member of Midland County 4-H. Joining FFA and 4-H changed my life and made high school an incredible experience. Over the course of my four years in FFA I have earned top greenhand, top chapter member, top farmer, as well as various buckles and banners. It has also afforded me great opportunities such as attending National All Star camp, showing at the Arizona National Livestock Show, and being a part of a documentary. After high school I plan to pursue an agriculture and wildlife biology degree at Angelo State University and eventually become a zoologist. I want to thank all the amazing teachers, mentors, and fellow showmen who have helped me in my livestock showing journey.
