This Lutz girl is wild about goats

By

Eleven-year-old Sophia Phillips first became acquainted with goats when she was just 2 years old, at the petting zoo at ZooTampa at Lowry Park. Now, she lives in Lutz and has three goats of her own and helps take care of 18 others. Find out more in our feature story of the week.

As her T-shirt says, Sophia Phillips, 11, is ‘Just a Girl Who Loves Goats.’ Lazar Wolf eyes Sophia, probably hoping for a snack. (Fred Bellet)

  1. This is our Granddaughter, Sophia Grace Phillips. She has loved goats since she was 2 and ChaCha & I would take her to Lowery Park. She would want to stay in the Goat Pen all day and brush and play with the goats there. Now, she has her own Goats that she breeds and shows in the County and State Fairs. She also helps her 4_H Teacher, Linda Whaley Bublitz with many of her animals. She has become Lutz’s own Junior Vet. We are so very proud of her.
