Hi, I’m Natasha I have been in 4H for two years now. I have only done market lambs, but next year I'm hopefully going to be doing a steer project. I enjoy 4H so much; it has brought me so many opportunities for my future, but I have also made so many friendships that will last for years. My lamb's name this year is Ziggy, named after the song Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie. He is quite the character, but his most recognisable trait is being extremely stubborn.
They say the most challenging projects teach you the most, and this steer is living proof of that. Getting him show-ready was a true test of commitment, requiring endless hours of halter breaking and daily work to earn his trust. Though he was stubborn at the start, I never gave up on him. Today, he has settled right down and turned into a really good steer.
