about GILES
the biggest Schroeder bro
Giles started with the tikes & tots sheep program in 2024. Giles is responsible and loves anything that has to do with farming, hunting, baseball, math, reading, Legos, presidents (he is giddy that his birthday is on President's Day, boy scouts and is kind and thoughtful.
He attended Cow Camp at Dairy Discovery and loved getting to show his own cow. He cares for his goat, Buddy as well as the meat chickens they are raising to show and sell at fair. More animals and still exhibits are in his future but only if he takes them on.
He is learning how much a dollar takes to earn by growing sunflowers with his brothers last year to start raising money for future fair animals. We called it "Project Sunshine". Giles and his brothers cut, cleaned, wrapped and sold bundles of huge sunflowers and had people donate enough money to provide all 40 elderly residents of Green Acres in Greenville, where his great grandma resides, with their own fresh bouquet of sunflowers to brighten their day. It was magical delivering them to the facility!
Giles new project was making and selling fire starters. They are $8 for a pack of 5 and burn for approximately 20-30 minutes. He asked us not to have people pay him through mom's phone so that he can get the cold hard cash in his own hands.
Giles is warming up to the reality that he will have to pay mom and dad back for the money they put into starting their fair career and we know he will appreciate the lessons as he grows.
