As anyone who loves animals knows, interacting with them teaches patience, compassion, and a host of other relational skills. The outdoor work with Happy Hill Farm’s cattle, horses, goats, and other animals is also healthy and wholesome. These experiences, and the strong work ethic they create, often lead to college scholarship opportunities! For kids with high potential and little opportunity, this kind of scholarship is one vital path to higher education.

Add to Cart Donation for a Horse or Saddle
$1,500.00The equestrian program is one of the most popular extracurricular activities at Happy Hill Farm.

Riding horses and tack are expensive to maintain and replace. With your Christmas gift, you may wish to buy a horse, a saddle, or help pay the vet bills.

Add to Cart Donation for a Mother Cow and Calf
$1,250.00It is not a real farm or ranch in Texas unless you have cattle in the pastures. Happy Hill Farm is no exception, with dozens of mother cows. A good bull fathers enough calves annually to provide the Dining Center with sufficient beef, but aging and sick cows need to be replaced. Your gift will help maintain a healthy herd.

Add to Cart Donation for a Pig
$250.00Because they are relatively easy to raise, pigs kept most southern farms alive during the early years of settlement. This also makes them great FFA project animals! A pig can double its three-pound average birth weight in a week and attain 200 pounds in just six months. Pigs are much smarter than most people realize and can be trained for the show ring with patience and hard work.

$150.00Around the globe, entire communities depend on wool and meat from sheep to survive. Sheep often give birth to twins and triplets and can graze even the hilliest, rockiest pastures that are unsuitable for other livestock. Our FFA students know which breeds are most popular in the show ring and are constantly on the lookout for animals they hope will place high. Will your Christmas sheep be a blue-ribbon winner?

Add to Cart Donation for One Show Steer or Heifer
$1,000.00These are the kind of animals that take blue ribbons at the Stock Show. Even with a lot of hard work, young FFA students know if they’re going to have a chance in the ring, they need to start with an animal that has the qualities for which the judges are looking. These animals don’t just come in from the pasture. They are carefully handpicked. Students raise and show steers and heifers in FFA competitions around Texas, gaining professional skills and competing for college scholarships.
