Gizmo, a registered Miniature Hereford Steer, was raised by a girl in 4-H as an animal project. 4-H provided initial funds but in an agreement that the money would be repaid upon his sale at an auction. His playful and sweet personality grew on the family and when it came time to be sold for slaughter, they changed their minds. They reached out to us to help and we rallied our community to raise the thousands of dollars needed to save his life and bring him to his forever home.

Gizmo has since become one of the most popular Animal Ambassadors here at Sweet Farm where he will live out his life. He spent 10 years side-by-side with his best friend, Sturgis, the elderly stallion. Since Sturgis’s passing, Gizmo has found comfort with his herd of cattles and horses.
