The very moment that FFA members and 4-H members who love showing look forward to is the Stock Show.  On March 2, Gustine High School held the annual stock show. Here, species such as hogs, lambs, beef cattle, and goats were shown. This grants students new to showing an opportunity to see how the May Day fair will go.
