Happy Bottoms Farm Youth Buck Program

An Opportunity to Learn, Grow, and Show

Happy Bottoms Farm LLC is proud to offer a unique opportunity for youth involved in 4-H and FFA to receive a quality dairy goat buckling to show during the upcoming season.

This program is designed to support young exhibitors who are ready to take the next step in livestock projects—whether they are just getting started or looking to grow their herd and experience.

What Selected Participants will Receive

  • A high-quality dairy goat buckling from proven genetics (*B designation)

  • A companion goat, if needed

  • Guidance and mentorship throughout the project

About the Animals

The bucklings offered through this program carry the *B (star buck) designation, meaning they come from strong, performance-based dairy genetics with proven milk production behind them.

While this is not something applicants will be tested on, it is important to understand that these animals represent quality, value, and responsibility.
