The Bearded Hen Today's Youth in Agriculture National Pet/Pack Goat Ambassador Runner Up

Adventures of a 4-H kid on a small suburban farm.

We learn as we go and we share what we love. Raising and showing cavy, rabbits, poultry and pygmy goats.

I had a super fun day up in Cottonwood today showing Pygmy goats and participating in showmanship. There’s always a ton of learning here and it’s so fun to see everyone’s animals.

Bonnie and Ziggy were both super well behaved and Blackbeard made final drive under the second judge. Ziggy handled his first show so well! There are some incredible goats here and I’m enjoying them all!

I am excited to do it again tomorrow!

Introducing “Lucky Girl’s Beau” from Lucky Girl Rabbitry.

Recently my very much loved rabbit mentor trusted me with one of her beautiful and incredibly special smoke pearl mini rex bucks. I can not begin to tell you how much that means to me.

I’m over the moon to have him as part of our show herd.

As I’ve gotten to know him over the past few weeks, I have found that he’s sweet, a little shy but very playful. He loves toys and is very curious about people. I’m excited to see what he grows into and watch his personality continue to shine.

I have nothing but gratitude for every animal put into my care and respect for the incredible breeders producing them and teaching me along the way.

Bonnie and I were excited to visit our friends at Hope Academy for Autism today with Pawsitive Friendships!

It was a beautiful day for brushing in the grass, sharing goat cookies and taking little walks with our friends!

She loves this job!

Pouring rain and thunder. 110 degrees. Either way everyone gets care.

Hope you’re staying dry. The goats are 100% blaming me for the sky water and are sure this is the end but everyone else here is just happy for the cool weather.

We had a small emergency this weekend which ended in our AC not working properly, rushing back from a family trip and a lot of drama with VERY little sleep.

Luckily, we have an amazing support system and friends to help! Our friends and 4-H club mates got my heat sensitive animals back in to cool spaces and feeling safe and secure before I could even get back into town.

It's critical to have an emergency plan, and emergency PEOPLE if you are going to work with animals! I am very grateful for leaders and club mates who stepped up to help and to check on us!

I’m super excited to share that I was selected to be the Today’s Youth in Agriculture National Pet/Pack Goat Ambassador Runner Up for the year.

I’m really looking forward to continuing to share my love of Pygmy goats and agriculture with the community!

Blue Holicer rabbits are known for their steely blue color. In natural light the shade is super similar to a wild pigeon feather in color!

Their coats are super dense too- often described as being beaver like!
