Howdy!
Who am I?
My name is Daisy. I am located in IN, by way of KY. I started building my farm 12-ish years ago. I then met this guy who made me laugh. He thought I was cute, I thought he could help during hay season, so... We got married and had our wonderful pain-n-the-xxxx / love of my life, a.k.a. my daughter.
What about the farm?
It is, and will probably always be, a work in progress.
Although we have an entire list of residents on the farm, our main focuses are breeding high quality *hardy* Boer show goats (I know, "hardy show goat" seems like an oxymoron, but with proper culling it can be done!), self sustaining miniature cattle / mini Zebu for milk-meat-novelty, and occasionally working Livestock Guardian Dogs / Great Pyrenees. Other residents include LaMancha (dairy) goats, horses, ponies, mini horses, poultry, water fowl, and Juliana (tiny polka dotted pigs).
Why did I join?
I came across the forum by accident. After poking around a bit, I chose to register for a few reasons:
A) I love to help people. Getting started, I was lucky enough to have a couple mentors that selflessly babysat me... Now that I'm "all grown up"lol, I try to pay it forward!
B) Sometimes even the experienced need a 'sound board' or 'think tank' (or good ol' help- but shhh, it's a secret!)... And I am always tickled to benefit from a new idea!
C) My husband, poor guy, he needs a break from 'talking farm'!
I'm not sure what to expect, as I have very little forum experience. However, I plan to be light-hearted, courteous, and enjoy the ride!
