Livestock show

Affectionately known as John John by his family, friends and fans, John Sonnier, a 4-H’er from St. Mary Parish, was prepping to show his pigs at the LSU AgCenter’s state livestock show. He stopped occasionally to visit with people passing by and to show off his dance moves. Sonnier has Down syndrome, and his sister, Brittany Durham, says showing livestock has given him a real purpose.
