About the Author

Welcome!

Hey there, I’m Kathy! Thanks for stopping by!

We (my husband and I) are life long animal lovers and full time livestock farmers in Ohio. Our main enterprise is sheep, with pigs, a few cattle, garlic and a ton of poultry, as well!

I truly enjoy sharing our experiences (I’m the writer) and helping folks get started raising animals on their own farm or in the backyard.

We’d love to hear from you if you have any questions!
