Olivia Rose Lugo age thirteen is a student at Los Cuates Middle School and has been noticed by Los Fresnos News as one of the many active students competing in many different areas at the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show.
Olivia Lugo is very active. Participating in Honor Band and Archery. Being on a Livestock Judging team, and raising an FFA project! Her Dad, Edward Lugo says, “Olivia also performed with the Los Cuates Middle School honors band at a pre-UIL concert and helped the band earn all 1’s.”
Some of Lugo’s interests include art and photography, FFA, animals, and agriculture! All of which she showed off at this year’s 2023 Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show.
At only 13 years old, she sure seems to have a great deal of talent, winning 2nd place in archery and in black & white photography!
This year Ms. Lugo showed her heifer, Raven. Raven didn’t place as high as she and her Dad, Edward Lugo had hoped. Mr. Lugo tweeted, “Olivia & Raven didn’t place as high as they wanted but gave everything they had.”
Mr. Lugo expresses that though he knew his daughter was unhappy with the results at first, she performed her very best and gave it everything she had. He later says, “I couldn’t be prouder of my little girl.”
He explains just some of what the routine scheduling was like. Wake up early..5 am, 6am, Help clean the pen, Feed twice a day, Bathe & blow dry Raven regularly, and Work with Raven (walking, setting up, bonding). Etc.
“Whatever needs to be done, she is there mentally ready to work, help, & learn.” says Mr. Lugo.
Olivia Lugo is an honors student and has attended LFCISD schools since Pre-K. She has been participating in and raising FFA projects since 3rd grade raising rabbits, a breeding goat, and 2 heifers.
Her dad tweeted, “She is looking forward to Raven having a calf next yr & raising it to show. She has a long-term plan & dad is here to help her.”
Congratulations Olivia! What a bright future you have in store for you!
