Hi! My name is Grace Sullivan. I am 11 years old and will be a 6th grader at St. Raymond School in the fall. I have been a member and officer of Palomares 4-H for 4 years and I live in Palomares Canyon. I am excited to lead others in our Historian and Community Service groups. Some of the projects that I am in are Vet Science, Robotics, Archery, Canning, Recycled Arts and Crafts. This is my 3rd year showing lambs. An achievement I have earned with my lambs was winning the Carcass Contest and 2nd place in the Super Lamb in 2018. I work hard taking care of my lambs like proper feeding, cleaning pens and training them for the show ring. My lambs are "Lemon" and "Lime". Lemon #1970 is 118 lbs and Lime #1978 is 119 lbs
