LAST WORD By Judy Bedell Estrella 4H members Cody and Ellie Zack have been working hard to prepare for the Junior Livestock competition at the California Mid-State Fair since it ended last year. They are anxious for the <strong>2015</strong> event where they will be exhibiting poultry and livestock. Cody and Ellie are twins who will be entering the 8th grade at Lillian Larsen School in San Miguel this fall. Every day after school they travel to Penman Springs Road where their project animals live. Cody has a Spot Cross hog named Zetsu. Every day he makes sure he takes his hog for a nice long walk and practices the skills he will need for showmanship this year. “My goal is to place 5th or higher in showmanship this year,” explained Cody. And he thinks his hog will help him do that as Zetsu is already very well trained at following Cody’s commands. Cody picked out his own hog this year, with only a little help from his father and leader, Art Zack. “The kids are old enough and know enough to be able to choose their own animals,” explained Dad. “We usually talk about the budget and then together pick four or five animals we might bid on. We bought Zetsu at the Atascadero FFA Auction so there was a good selection of animals. Ultimately it was Cody’s decision and he is getting pretty good at spotting the good ones.” Twin sister Ellie will be showing a lamb. Her lamb is named Sonic and she also spends time every day feeding, grooming and exercising her project animal. Her goals include placing in showmanship and her market class. Both Cody and Ellie will also be showing poultry. Cody has a Mediterranean Blue Andalusian and Ellie has a Silver Spangled Hamburg hen named Yoshi. They are both experienced showmen having placed well at the Mid State Fair in prior years and at the Central Coast Feather Fanciers Shows. Cody won the Best of Breed in 2014 at the Feather Fancier show and Ellie has been the Continental Class winner for the past three years. They enjoy raising breeding stock but have raised market chickens in the past. Twins Cody and Ellie Zack of Estrella 4-H are anxious to compete with their animals in this year’s California Mid-State Fair. “We raised them, processed them and cooked them,” explained Ellie who was not afraid at all to get her hands dirty cleaning the chickens. Getting ready for the Fair takes a lot of time and effort, something both Cody and Ellie have committed to. They have been Estrella 4-H members for 3 ½ years and have excelled at school during this time also. Ellie was recognized for being a Million Word reader at her school this year as well as playing a starring role in the school play. She was also on the volleyball team and has participated in Youth Cheerleading in the past. Her love of animals and inquisitive personality will be great traits for her goal of studying Zoology in college and one day working at a zoo. Cody is a multi-sport athlete having competed this last year in cross country, basketball, volleyball and track. He has played Youth Football in Paso Robles and recently scored at the 10th grade level in reading, while still in 7th grade. Cody also has his sights set on college and sees himself pursuing a degree in Agriculture, most likely Ag Mechanics or Engineering. He would also like to breed hogs in the future. Estrella 4H is an active club and in addition to the Junior Livestock projects, both Cody and Ellie have participated in 4H programs for Archery, Shooting Sports, and Science. Ellie has also participated in the Baking program and Ag Robotics. The schedule in the Zack home is pretty busy but father Art Zack doesn’t complain about the long hours. “I know this is all very good for them. Being a 4H leader I can help them and others like people helped me when I was younger. Raising the animals and showing them lets us spend time as a family,” said Zack. Cody and Ellie will be spending a lot of time in the Junior Livestock barns during the Mid-State Fair and invite you to stop by, ask them about their animals, and consider bidding on them in the Junior Livestock Auction on Saturday, August 1st. For information about Estrella 4H club contact Angela Vinther at 296-8994. They meet the first Monday of every month at 6 p.m. at the San Miguel Lions Club Community Center by the Park in San Miguel. Ellie spends time every day working with her market lamb, Sonic, in preparation for the California Mid-State Fair.
