Hunter has always inspired me, even though we may seem like we hate each other all the time, he is the type of person who is dedicated to helping people. He’s the type of person that will put everything he has into the farming and livestock that he raises, because that is what he loves to do, it’s his way of life. Also, him and I both enjoy learning about agriculture, because there is still so much that we don’t know. That is where him and I are so much alike when it comes to the agricultural aspect of things, we both have our hearts filled with agriculture.

“First one to ride a Ria wins.” He quickly races to one and jumps on its back. He then kicks it sides, urging it forward, but it just stares at him.

“This is where you get off. Thank you for your help with the cattle.” The driver told the twins.

“Thanks, we'll come by later to practice.” After we got our animals and practiced, we got ready for the show.

“Yay!” me and my cousin said loudly and happily yet scared but we were going to overcome our fear of the ride and do it.

"We don't have world champion prizefights, either, but Spike has been known to take a few bets on those. Look, did he buy an interest in Esskay? Is he a partner with some out of state trainer? Or is he mixed up in betting on greyhounds?"

“Then we shall do this, and do it fast. I shall ride out tomorrow and see what I can find.”

I may not be like Almanzo Wilder but I can relate to him pretty well. Just like Almanzo I use to help my Grandpa Joe with his cattle. Just like Almanzo does with his dad. But we would drive around on his kawasaki and feed the cattle. Were Almanzo and his dad would walk, because there were jeeps or cars invented back then. I help my grandpa hitch up his tractors. My grandpa plants sweet corn every spring and in the fall he would bail it down. I remember a time my grandpa got dirt suck in the tarp of the combine!
