Activities we enjoy besides raising goats, beef cattle, rabbits and chickens include of course drag racing, camping, hunting and fishing. Also we are all involved in 4-H as Rick and Cathy are leaders for the Washington Willing Workers 4-H club of which Stephanie and Carson are members. Stephanie is also in FFA and is playing soccer. Another activity enjoyed by Stephanie is dance as she participates in jazz, ballet, hip-hop and tap. Stephanie has won many trophies and ribbons at numerous dance competitions through out Iowa the past 11 years. Carson is an avid outdoors person as he enjoys riding his 4-wheeler, fishing as well as deer, turkey, duck, goose and pheasant hunting. Rick and Cathy enjoy doing things with the kids but also enjoy time alone with each other or going out to eat with friends.

As with most farms we also have the beloved cats. We have eight or nine cats outside in the barns and two very spoiled cats in the house. The two cats in the house actually rule the house as they are very pampered pets. Both Pudge and Squirt were born outside and some how both found their way in the house to stay; they are now part of the family.
