Jill said she showed Twin last
summer at the Keystone Interna
tional Livestock Exposition where
he placed second in his class. At
the Beef Expo, he was third in his
class.
Twin, whose diet was corn,
oats and barley, is out of a bull
called Zapper, Brant said. He was
purchased from Larry High in
Lancaster County.
Bubba, on the other hand, got a
diet of high moisture corn. He also
came from Lancaster County, and
was bought from Freddie Weaver.
“We get up every morning and
feed them before we go to school,”
said Jill. “We do it after school,
too.”
Most of the steers’ feed is
raised on their Grandad Brant’s
130-acre farm, located about eight
miles away.
If possible, Jill and Jesse would
love to show their goats at the
Farm Show, they said. But the
Thursday event is inconvenient for
the Brant’s schedule, they said,
and too difficult to arrange.

get up and milk 12 of them before
going to school.
One good thing, the goats dry
up over the winter, they said.
And Dave said he appreciates
the decrease in white thorns since
the goats keep them eaten off the
place. White thorns growing on
their three and a half acres were
nearly impossible to control
before the arrival of goats, he said.
