Agriculture Involvement: When Hunter was in the third grade his parents moved to the country and started raising various types of livestock. His grandparents typically had some type of cattle around so being around livestock is nothing new to Hunter.
Now his involvement primarily revolves around rabbits, chickens, donkeys and bottle calves. He really enjoys his experiences with his rabbits. They are low maintenance and he enjoys the show experiences that he has gained with them. He has met a lot of people through the rabbits and found the rabbit community to be a widespread close knit group.
