Four Winds Ranch
Loving the herd life
Hi!!!!
My name is Jody! I live in Alberta Canada. Usually during the summer here it is pretty warm( 20-35degrees C), and during the winter we get chinooks! Where everything warms up to +3degrees! Between chinnooks it is usually -10 to -35.
I live with my hubby, and 3 kids! The oldest kid is 10yrs, the youngest is 2yrs. My Hubby works in the Oil Patch, I run the Farm.
Our farm is 160 acres, but unfortuanatly one fourth of it is swamp( at least we are set if there is a drought!)We have A 4-H steer, a milk cow, a few horses, 50 tunis sheep, a couple donkeys and lamas, a few pigs, 50ish chickens, couple rabbits, cats, and a old dog and a young pup! Oh, and last but not least, my baby" Johhny "( a pot belly pig )! Soon I am hoping for the beef cows!!!
I grew up on a 400sq. mile cattle ranch in the bush in B.C. Canada, so I come by farming naturally! Although I am spoiled,
and this 160 acre farm is never going to be big enough for this West Coast Rancher!
I would like to think that I am almost able to supply my family with food 100% off of our farm, but, during the cold winter months, the condaments, fruit, and veggies get pretty low! I love gardening and grow a huge garden that I harvest! During the fall, I am busy freezing, drying, and canning produce! All I can say is," Thank God for the butcher shops for the meat!" Cutting and wrapping meat is definatly one job I can do with out!!!
Also I am all into " NATURAL", so all our animals and produce are organic (natural), but not certified because, the laws here will not allow one to be" certified organic" if the nieghbors arn't! I also grow natual madicinal herb garden for my animals and ourselves!
