Hi my name is Elvin Merino this is my first year of ffa. I bought a lamb and her name is lucky she is a nice lamb likes to play with other animals but sometimes she could get rough with them as well. I am a athlete I play soccer and I used to play football for my middle school. At first I didn't really expect much from ffa but it's a big responsibility of feeding the lamb and training with them but it's also fun.
