I am in Alaska...yeah, like my name, but at the bottom of the Kenai Peninsula, close to Homer, the "banana belt" of Alaska (not to be confused with the rainforest of Alaska, which is warmer).
Latitude 59!
I get lots of strong wind gusts, and high humidity since I am on the coast. That toasty water from Japan keeps the temps moderate...cool in summer and warm (relatively) in the winter.
I am married, with 5 kids, all boys. Eldest is 18, almost 19, and youngest just turned 9. Eldest is going to the local community college, so still at home. All kids are/were honeschooled.
We have chickens (a bunch of coops and breeds, bantam and standard), ducks (only muscovy), and 3 milk goats (Mocha, Feta, and Mozzie).
Mozzie is a Saanan x Nigerian DwarF
Mocha is 3/4 Nubian and 1/4 Boar
Feta is full Saanan
I built the duck coop and bantam coop myself.
I am 7th generation Texan, 6th generation rancher ...my sister has the home place. I moved to Alaska to get away from the crowds.
I studied ranching in college, bachelor's and masters.
But what I do now is just to give the kids chores, and have good wholesome food for them to eat.
OK... there where a bunch more questions on that list...but now I am pooped!
