Typically, you will need the following to complete the FAFSA

Gary Jr. FFA & Gary 4-H member Monse Chavez participated at the NAILE (North American International Livestock Exposition) Show this week in Louisville, Kentucky with her HOMEGROWN doe (which means Monse bred and raised the goat from her own herd).
Monse and her goat “Penny” placed 3rd overall at this national show in showmanship and 7th in their extremely tough class.
Congrats to Monse and her parents who have had an amazing start to this show season! We look forward to more successes from their family and T4 Livestock!
