Don't see a "questionnaire to answer/fill in so just a little bit about me. I have a thread on BYH where I was introduced to that forum several years ago by greybeard.
My DS and I have beef cattle... a cow/calf operation. We are bigger farmers than most on here, but I am a homesteader at heart. I have some jersey's and guernsey's that I use as nurse cows and raise calves on. I have raised hogs; Duroc's, Hampshire's, Berkshire's and other crosses.... horned dorset wool sheep, for years and now DS has some White Texas Dall sheep (hair)... have had free range laying hens selling 50 + dozen eggs a week, as well as purebred show birds now....raised lots and lots of cornish x for meat for the freezer.... have had gardens and put up produce for years but do not have a garden this year due to needing knee replacements...do a little bit of anything to be more independent. Worked as a milk tester for over 30 years so have a good connection to the dairy industry also. Moved from Conn to Va many yrs ago. I like the 4 seasons but with a milder winter season.
