What is your 4-H project?
“My project is in animal science and is about showing market goats, registered Boer does and a commercial Hereford heifer. I picked this because I really like working with goats and spending time with my heifer. I keep records of my shows and workshops. My favorite workshop was about clipping goats.”
How did you get started with 4-H?
“My mom told me about her experiences in 4-H, which made me want to try it for a year. I really liked it and have been in 4-H for five years now.”
Awards: “I really like winning buckles. I have one for showmanship, one for bred doe and one for born and bred.”
What do you do to help out on the farm?
“I help out on my grandma’s farm where I collect eggs and work with my heifer. I have also learned how to drive a tractor and helped move a building for my heifer to stay in. I also drive a truck to the woods for loading brush and wood.”
Favorite Possession: “My favorite possessions are my guns because I get to hunt deer and once in a while squirrels and raccoons. I also really like my bow. I’ve only had my bow about a month and I’m still working on target practice and learning about how to use it.”
What do you want to be when you grow up?
“My aunt and uncle own a lot of cows and got me interested in wanting to become a beef farmer. I like spending time with the cattle and think it would be a good thing for me to do when I grow up.”
