Meet Mikaela Flores, a Sanger FFA exhibitor who is a junior at Sanger High School:
Mikaela got involved in FFA because she had grown an
interest in the agriculture field and wanted to see the different opportunities
it had to offer. Since then, she has gotten involved in CDE’s and LDE’s
competition teams, and leadership roles. The ones who introduced her to the
SAE’s projects were her two older cousins who showed Market Boer Goats and
Breeding Heifers. Which led to her showing Market Boer Goats as well, and
Breeding Rabbits throughout her high school years. FFA is very important to her
because it showed her the many aspects agriculture has to offer, and how it’s
not just about farming, but it’s also about building a set of skills that will
later help her in college and in life.
This year will be Mikaela’s third year of showing, and
she will be showcasing a breeding Rabbit named Daisy and will be auctioning a
Market Boer Goat named Scarface, at the 2026 Big Fresno Fair. From her SAE’s
projects, she has learned a lot about animals, and what it takes to care for
one. Throughout it all, her love for her animals has never faltered, and has
only made her more determined to showcase her animals.
