David participates in the BRT show program. “The show program teaches young men about cattle and getting them involved in the cattle industry. It teaches them work ethic, responsibility, animal husbandry skills and patience. Working with animals teaches patience in working with people and taking responsibility for their actions and decisions. It teaches the importance of putting hard work into all aspects of everything that one does. It teaches the boys the value of cattle. In the show program, David has learned patience and how to control his temperament. He has learned that there are right ways of doing things and wrong ways of doing things, and the importance of doing things the right way. David has also learned that it is important to be respectful and to listen to others. I am proud of David for setting the goals that he has set for his life,” says Stratton Walker, show program manager. Stratton has worked with David in the show program since January of this year.

David also enjoys fishing, hunting and riding horses, and he has participated in FFA. He is grateful for the opportunities he has had at BRT to grow in his faith, interests and character.
