 It started more grandparents back than I can name. We've just always been farmers here in this area. My family has. But luckily I loved it as growing up I wanted to be out here and wanted to help my dad so it was just something that I always enjoyed. We have a cow-calf operation. We have about 200 cow-calf pairs. In the cow-calf operation we have six bulls. We have two calving seasons, spring and fall. Right now we've just started our fall calving season. I think we have five babies that we've had in the last three or four days. And that keeps us busy checking the cows morning and night. We also do a hay operation. We cut and bell our own hay. I usually cut the hay, Lar and Tracy scatter the hay for me and then Rusty and I bell the hay and Lar and Tracy rake the hay for us. I love to work in the hay. I think raking is my favorite thing. I don't usually cut or bell. I leave that for Dennis or Rusty but I just love being here and just try to go along and do everything that's going on. So yeah, it's really my favorite place to be. I love my job at teaching as well but I think if this is where I'd want to be all the time, if that was my choice, this is where I'd prefer to be. I don't remember a time when I wasn't involved with the farm. I mean they would stick me in the truck when they were working cows and I would just sort of have to hang out and sometimes I'd lock the doors but I always just helped checking the cows. I'd love to go see the new babies just like my kids. It's like Christmas morning when you find a new baby. From building fence to I try to keep everything maintenance and ready to go anywhere from building a barn to pulling a calf to cutting trees off of fences, whatever it is. I love it. It's a beautiful place and it's a peaceful place to go just at the end of the day. I really want to know how we can improve the product that we're going to be selling to the consumers. I want it to be good because I'm going to butcher these cows for myself, for my own family and I want them to be the best that we can make them. My ultimate goal for this farm is for it to be preserved. I want it to carry on after I'm gone and so part of that is in my children instilling a love for this place, a love for this lifestyle. I see that every time we work cows or when they see a new baby being worn, their faces light up and I see that we are showing them that this is a good way of life and hopefully that that will continue.
