I chose to join because I have been farming for 40 years and I am only 45 years old. Our farm was once a registered Angus farm and then a registered Simmental farm in my teens and I raised pure Simmental steers when I was in middle school and high school to pay for my college. Once I finished up college, we were raising Angus/ Santa Gertrudis cattle and then my grandfather suddenly died. None of us could bear to farm again so we sold the cattle and the farm grew up for 3 years. I bought some goats just to clear some of the fence rows and a month later one of the goats had a set of twins and from that point on, my love of farming was re-ignited...fast forward 19 years, and our farm has been transformed into a successful Spanish Goat seed stock/ conservation farm. So with my agriculture background and education and experience, I wanted to share with others what I know and my experiences to help others starting down this path. I have learned a lot from this site and want to pay it forward.
