When do you do chores and what chores do you do? I do chores on the weekend and any days off from school. I do the feeding and haul manure.
What are your favorite and least favorite chores? Why? My favorite chore is cleaning the pens, because I like keeping them clean. My least favorite chore is feeding calves, because it takes so long and it has to be done several times a day.
Do you have a favorite animal on the farm? My favorite animal on the farm is my cow, Berry. I take her to the fair every year and is one of the most tame animals I have ever seen.
What do you want to be when you grow up? When I grow up I would like to be a dairy farmer.
If you had your own farm, what would it look like? It would look similar to the way the farm looks now but with more dairy cows, some beef and steers.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? My favorite Thanksgiving food is ham.
What do you like to do on your Thanksgiving break? On Thanksgiving break I like to work on the farm and play football.

When do you do chores and what chores do you do? I help my dad on the weekends and sometimes after school.  I help get the cows up for milking and get things for my dad when he needs them. I also help feed calves.
What are your favorite and least favorite chores? My favorite chore is taking care of the calves because I like to mix the milk replacer and drive the four wheeler.  My least favorite chore has been helping with our new building because I didn't like having to take out the bolts. 
Do you have a favorite animal on your farm? My favorite animal on the farm is my calf, Lacey.  She is the one I took to the fair this year.  She is a cross breed and is very tame. 
What do you want to be when you grow up? When I grow up I want to be a teacher.
If you had your own farm, what would it look like? If I had my own farm I would have dairy cows, horses, pigs and bunnies.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? My favorite Thanksgiving food is mashed potatoes.
What do you like to do on your Thanksgiving break? I like to be with my family on Thanksgiving break.
