Hi, my name is Elaine Jordan, I

am a member of the Bret Harte

FFA and am raising market poul-

try. This is my eighth year raising

poultry for the fair and I have

been very successful in the past.

My sister and I raise them togeth-

er, it is a great bonding experi-

ence for us. We hope to see you

at the fair this year. Be sure to

come visit us at the poultry barn!

Hi, I am Samantha Jordan, I am a

member of the Angelus Ranus 4-H

group. I have been raising market

poultry for six years. We receive day

old chicks flown in from Iowa, my sis-

ter and I keep them for around 42

days until they reach market weight,

which is 5 ½ to 6 ½ pounds. This is

what they look like at 2 ½ weeks of

age. Come to the fair and you can see

what they look like at full market

weight! Thank you, Samantha

I absolutely love seeing all the kidsshowing at their projects at fair and seeing theinvolvement of kids with the community.Showing at the fair has exposed me to manywonderful opportunities, including watch-ing past Calaveras Saddle QueenCompetitions and winning Equine GrandChampion last year, which encouragedme to run for this competition.
