Century Lane Farms is a family affai

The Goudys have been on the family farm for many years.

It is the original Goudy homestead which has been in the family since 1906. Graham and Val raised their two sons John and Brett on the farm north of Stoughton.

Brett Goudy and his wife Crystal, and three children Sianna, Jaxon and Cash, along with John and Julia Goudy and their children Carley, Madison, Reid, Colton and Kierra, all are part of Century Lane Farms. They also have a sister, Melisa, who is married and has two children, but they are not actively involved in the farm.

Brett said it all began with his great grandparent’s farm and Brett’s parents are third generation farmers. His dad, Graham, was raised on this farm and today is still actively involved in the farm, although is slowing down some.

Although Brett and his brother John both work off the farm, they too are incredibly involved in farm life.

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
