Kallen!
Kallen’s ideal day contains anything and everything outdoors. Along with working in the barn with his projects, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and shooting sports. His bow and his .22 rifle are two of his favorite things! He has also started working with sheep this year!
Aven!
This 7 year old is all about that farm girl life. If it involves goats, cows, the barn or a puppy, she will follow you anywhere, just as long as one of those things is involved! Playing in the barn and getting dirty isn’t hard for this little girl!
