What do you want to be when you grow up? I either want to play in the NFL for the Packers or be a farmer.

If you had your own farm, what would it look like? I would have a big free stall full of cows that I would show. I would have a few cows of every breed, like maybe 10 or 20 of each one. I would have a barn full of sheep I would show and a barn full of pigs I would show.
