What is your FFA or 4-H project?
“I have been showing lambs since I joined 4-H, but I also work on our family farm where we have six chicken houses, a hay business and a cow/calf operation.”
How did you get involved in agriculture?
“My parents were both FFA and 4-H members and influenced my brother and me to join and participate in the show program.”
Do you live on a farm or ranch?
“I live on the family farm. My grandparents live just down the road, so the whole family works together. Since we are diversified with chickens, hay and cows, I work every day.”
What have you accomplished as a result of your involvement in agriculture?
“I have won several things showing lambs. My lamb was reserve grand champion at the Tulsa State Fair in 2018. I’ve shown the reserve grand champion heavyweight lamb at the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky., and the grand champion lamb at Mayes County Fair for four years in a row. I’ve been in some premium sales, National Western Stock Show in Denver twice, Tulsa State Fair three times and the Oklahoma Youth Expo three times. I will be receiving my Oklahoma State FFA degree this year.”
How does agriculture figure into your future?
“After I graduate I will move into my own house, increase the cow/calf operation and continue with the chicken and hay business.”
