"I am just coming from the farm this morning; I spent the night over there [on the farm]; I had to pull up," he said."Basically, on the farm, what we do is keep our cattle. I've cattle, and I need to have a solid plan for what I'm going to do to increase the number of cattle."

The young athlete was asked if he wanted to continue owning a farm or if it was just an investment for him aside from athletics.
