Hi! My name is Brooke Arce, and I'm 16 years old. I'm currently a sophomore in high school and am homeschooled. In addition to being homeschooled, I'm also dual-enrolled at IRSC, where I can challenge myself academically and get a head start on my college education.

Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time outdoors, and I have a deep passion for showing livestock, with Boer goats being my absolute favorite. I've been raising and showing Boer goats for 8 years, and I've been a member of JABGA for 6 of those years.

Being a part of JABGA has given me the chance to connect with other young people who share the same interests and has helped me expand my knowledge in the livestock industry. It has also taught me countless life lessons that I carry with me every day.

My mom and I run a small herd of Boer goats in Fellsmere, FL, where we carefully manage and care for our goats. Along with showing livestock, I also love spending time hunting and fishing with my family. I am incredibly passionate about agriculture, with the ultimate goal of becoming a large animal veterinarian.

I'm excited to continue learning and growing, both in my academic studies and extracurricular activities. I am committed to expanding my knowledge and skills, not only in the livestock industry but specifically within the Boer goat industry.
