Background of the Farms

Being that this is my first post about the farms, I figured I would give you a little background information about the two of them. I grew up in a small community, graduated with 68 people, and I was born and raised on a farm. My parent's farm consisted of cows, horses, dogs, cats, a sheep and a few goats. Their farm would be more considered as a "hobby farm". We have always grown our own meat. My parents also have their own portion of land that keeps my dad pretty busy in the fall and spring.

On the other hand, I started dating my boyfriend two years ago, and I got myself involved with another farm. In other words, his farm is much larger in the animal department. My boyfriend’s dad and him have been beef farmers all their lives. We just started our sheep farm a year ago. We started out with 41 sheep, and after they had babies, we are dealing with 80 sheep. They have a large number of cattle too, about 240. The sheep are obviously a lot easier to take care of because of their size, but they do not do well in the heat. I love being at both farms, but I live closer to my boyfriend’s farm, so you may be hearing a lot more about his farm. I hope you guys enjoy my outside of school life !
