Ranch Chores, 4-H Courage & Steak Dreams: A Fun Chat with 9-Year-Old Carey Dobson & Mom Alex

Join us for a delightful and inspiring episode of Fill Your Plate Now with 9-year-old Carey Dobson and his mom, Alex, a Northern Arizona ranching family with deep roots in Arizona agriculture. In this entertaining interview, young 4-H member Carey shares his favorite (and least favorite!) ranch chores, a hilarious calf escape story, and how he bravely wrote and delivered his own speech to win the Treasurer position in just his second 4-H meeting. Mom Alex opens up about how they approach chores and character-building with their young children, while Carey talks about his trip to the American Farm Bureau National Convention, his love for steak, what bravery means to him, and whether he dreams of continuing the ranching tradition. This episode is full of laughs, heartfelt moments, and real-life lessons on courage, responsibility, and growing up on a ranch. Whether you're a farm family, 4-H supporter, or just love hearing from the next generation of agriculturalists, Carey's energy and wisdom will fill your plate and warm your heart! This episode is perfect for families, educators, and anyone who believes in raising kids with grit and joy.
