Teamwork at Its Best!
When Hansel (Omar) Ocana’s goat was injured before the Arkansas Valley Fair and Grady Van Dyk broke his wrist, they worked together to make sure both still got to compete.
Omar, a Rocky Ford FFA member, stepped in to show Grady’s market goat — a great example of friendship, sportsmanship, and FFA spirit! 💛💙
