Hi Everyone...
Since we're probably coming here from different parts of the forum, would it be a good idea to introduce ourselves? I recognize lots of the folks from the goat forum and feel like I know them but, there's lots of new names too and I'd love to hear about everyone who feels comfortable sharing!
Me first...
I've been over on the goat forum for quite some time but, for those who don't know me, my name is Beth - 33yo. I'm married to a wonderful "City Boy" who's learning to love farm life and we have 2 young children. We live in Wisconsin approx 80 miles NE from Mpls/St Paul.
We have about 75-100 goats and sheep at any given time. Of those, there are about 25 Boers, 10 Sheep (don't know what breed ~ just big), and the rest are dairy goats that are usually bred to my Fullblood Boers. Our numbers will be increasing dramatically starting in just a couple weeks as 15-20 of the Boer does start to kid!
We also have lots of chickens, ducks, rabbits, turkeys, a couple beef steers, etc. Of course we have a couple Great Pyreenes to protect our stock, a token Border Collie (who doesn't have a clue) and a Basset Hound to look lazy on the porch!
Our business is primarily catering to the large Ethnic population in and around Mpls/St Paul. We love our clients and many of them have become very good friends.
