When do you help with chores? Every night.
What is your favorite and least favorite chore? My favorite is doing my chickens probably because I get to check their eggs and sometimes get to use the faucet to fill the waterers. My least favorite is watering both of the big hutches because it takes a long time. The one has a really big tub and sometimes it goes slow.
What is your favorite animal on the farm? The cows. My favorite cow is Bubbles. She was born on my birthday, and she looks like her mom, which her name is Monkeyface.
What do you want to be when you grow up? A dairy farmer, to keep the farm alive.
If you had your own farm, what would it look like? There would be a lot of sheds with a lot of Case IH tractors, a TMR mixer, silage wagons, manure spreader, a couple skid loaders, a baler, a couple of utility vehicles to drive around in, a truck, a cattle trailer, a back hoe, a couple chicken coops, hutches and a flatbed trailer for when we have to haul stuff. It would have 100 cows, five ducks and 20 chickens.
What is your favorite thing to do on the farm in the fall? Either going combining or messing around on the wrapped bales. We just mess around, jump on the bales and run on them.
Tell us something you recently learned in school. I learned how to multiply fractions so that they can be added.
What is the best thing about growing up on a dairy farm? Probably messing around on wrapped bales, feeding calves and wearing boots a lot.
What is your favorite dairy treat? Cheese sticks and white milk. I drink white milk a lot, and we get a lot of cheese orders, so I get a lot of cheese sticks.
