Lacie Anne DeRojas of the Dawson FFA Chapter in Texas began her SAE with the selection of market rabbit experiences. This led her to start raising her own breeding stock, and today she has 67 does and eight bucks. DeRojas has marketed her cull rabbits to a local USDA buyer who processes rabbits to farmers markets and high-end restaurants in the Dallas area. She is supported by her parents, Jana and Mike and her FFA advisors, Mike Littrell and Michelle Sammon. This award is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company.
