Zoe Parrott of the Northmor FFA Chapter in Ohio watched her father raise sheep when she was a child and became inspired to follow in his footsteps. Her project consists of 24 ewes that are mainly Hampshire and Hamp crosses, three replacement ewe lambs, one Hamp cross ram, and one Hampshire cross ram. The Hamp cross ram was produced by Parrott using laparoscopic artificial insemination. She is supported by her parents, Patty and Ken, and her FFA advisor, Ken Parrott. The National FFA Foundation and the National FFA Organization sponsor this proficiency.
She shares more with Broadcast Desk Intern Michelle Stangler.
