Q: How much work does it take to prepare and work with your animal?

A: It takes countless hours, in the days, and nights & weekends to take care of the animals. Rain or shine, cold or hot there is no rest and  work starts from the day I receive my animal till the day when I take that last walk in the ring with them, but take it from someone who gives it there 110%  it is all worth it in the end. I love what I do and if you get a chance to see me in the ring you will see how much passion I have for showing livestock.
