Loving the herd life
Lets see where to start....I think the things I am most proud of is that my mother had and home schooled 5 kids, and that my family is very strong in our faith. I mean we are not all rocks but when you have 7 people living together and they all have a good relationship with God it's hard to hit bottom for long.
And now that is something I want to bring into my new life with my fiance.
I'm not very good with plane statments....I tend to go on & on, but I'll try and give some basic stats
I'm in my early 20's and "work" at home. I write, make jewelry, and do other crafts. I'm also an artist. I'm looking to publish a childs book about a pony. I will also handle all the day to day things around the ranch & market what we have to sale.
I'm ingaged to my very dear and most trusted friend. Who basicly stocked me up until I realised what he ment to me this past summer.
We plan to build a home and raise lots of kids. I've always wanted to be a mom more then anything, he feels the same. We would also like to adopt at some point. We also want to home school.
We have somewere close to 15 acers, that is rocky and over grown. The plan was to build a 30x30 dutch barn style house, little by little. But just last week his family made us a rent to own offer on a house & 6-8acres. It is an old house {maybe late 40's}, but well built. And only needs a new wood stove. We will be ripping up the carpet in the bath & kitchen. My FIL to be said its wood floored in the kitchen...I think the whole thing mite be. Looks like we will be able to move in very soon
As for the animals, we have
Goats 3.? one bred doe
Horses 6.? at least one bred mare
Dogs...for now we have...a lot. I have 2 big dogs, 1 about 25lbs, and 1 small dog. He had 1, plus 2 strays - one is bred. His step dad has a dog that is more ours then his. And then I have some puppies do to a misunderstanding with my brothers about when my 25lb dog was in heat { I had her in a 20' stock trailer}, there are 7. And there is also the pit puppy that a friend of mine found but couldn't keep, and it looks like he will be staying with me. There are sooo meny sweet dogs needing homes, and pits are the hardist to rehome. So thats 8 adults, and 8+ puppies here is hoping I can get it down to 9 or 10
Getting our girls fixed is a big part of the budget.
2 cats, mite be getting one more from a friend who will be going to basic training soon.
And 1 banny chicken who lives in my moms kitchen for now.
We are going to add a buck, maybe a sheep or two, and maybe geese & guineas this year. We want to build on what we have, and would love to make a living from our land & stock.
Well I guess that sums it up for now. I'm happy to be here on the BYH, so much to learn.
Forgot to add a trio of rabbits that may or maynot be too old to breed.
