Connor Pence of the Veribest FFA Chapter in Texas got his first start in breeding goats with five does his grandparents gave him when he was three years old. Today, he has a herd of forty does and their offspring, managing the breeding goat herd and raising market wethers. The typical sale price he earns is $185 per head. Pence is supported by his parents, Denise and Cory, and his FFA advisor, Travis Lange. Tractor Supply Company sponsors this proficiency.
He shares more with Broadcast Desk Intern Kailey Foster.
