Hi everyone! This is Leo's second year showing livestock, and he has big goals for this year. We love watching the growth that is happening as he gains more interest in the sport. We have been SOOOO blessed with friends that have helped him train, learn, and borrow supplies. We are searching for creative ways to cover some expenses that will be coming up as he preps for the 2025 show season. These are a few things Leo will need this year! 

- Sheep shears 
- 2 sheep blankets 
- Sheep stand for grooming 

As a long-term goal, we will also need a trailer to haul his sheep. We will likely need to rent a trailer this year. Thank you so much for your interest in supporting Leo! You are now part of our village, and we would love to send you updates on our purchases and experiences this year.

 As a "thank you" for participating, we would like to offer raffle tickets to win a Homestead Basket. Tickets are $5 each or 5 tickets for $20. One ticket is one entry in the drawing. The basket includes many items from our family farm and other local homesteaders. We are including Lucky Paws Farm hamburger meat and a roast, one dozen of farm fresh eggs, churned butter (from our dairy cow!), and homemade apple butter. We also included a square foot gardening book and a hand carved spoon from our friend at Thompson Woodcrafting. The winner of this basket will be eating well AND will have the opportunity to learn to grow their own flourishing garden!
