Researching my topic was quite difficult. I found that I may need to consider finding a new topic to be able to further my research to have enough information for my topic. I found that the words "farm shows" worked way better than "livestock shows". This truly surprised me because I have never heard a show referred to as a farm show.
There are very few sources related to my chosen topic. I was pretty surprised however because being an agriculture major, I tend to hear about this topic frequently.
The approaches all of the sources took on my topic were related more towards animal cruelty. They were all about the same thing and whether humans mistreat our animals.
I sorted through my sources by narrowing the years to where it was not as spread out over a long period of time. I tried to keep my search within 5 years of our current 2014 year. I also sorted through my sources by checking the box for academic journals. I chose to do this so that I would be ensured to have credible sources.
It sounds like you have a challenging topic, Jayden, but it also sounds like it is a topic that you can contribute a new perspective to.
