Here\u2019s their story:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Payden joined FFA because they needed something steady and meaningful in their life. Growing up, Payden had to figure out a lot on their own, and that made things feel heavy sometimes. When they found FFA, it felt like a place where they could finally put their energy into something positive. Raising dairy market goats became a big part of that. It wasn\u2019t just a project it became something Payden could rely on.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This year Payden is showing Appa, a shy dairy market goat. Payden has focused on feeding, training, and helping Appa feel comfortable during practice. Even though he\u2019s shy, Appa trusts Payden.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Show your support for Payden and fellow 4-H and FFA exhibitors by participating in the Jr. Livestock Auction as a buyer or through an add-on bid. Your involvement helps recognize the hard work, dedication, and time these students put into their projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Big Fresno Fair Jr. Livestock Auction begins Saturday, October 10, with additional sales continuing Saturday, October 17.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Interested in becoming a buyer or placing an add-on bid?
