Lot # 215 - Tag 369 - Derek Rulon
Comments:
Hello my name is Derek Rulon, I am 11 years old and in Bowman 4H. This is my 3rd year raising a market lamb for 4h. I have been in 4H for 7 years as a primary member and now a regular member. Over the past 3 years raising sheep I have also grown my own flock which now has 9 breeding ewes in it. My lamb this year is out of my families flock. I also have a back up lamb. He was a quadruplet that I got to help bottle feed. It is exciting to see the lambs being born and helping care for them. It is a lot of work to bottle feed baby lambs, this year we had to bottle feed 6 lambs! I was hoping to be showing my yearling ewes in my flock this year at the fair but unfortunately I will not be able to. Each year I have put my money away into a college account and a savings account, that I will use to purchase my first car. My future goals are to be a biologist and study, waterfowl as well as fish.
