Welcome to our home!

Thanks for checking out my blog.

 My family and I have been raising animals and gardens for over 25 years and it has been an adventure. This is my opportunity to share these experiences with you both past and present.

 We are currently working on developing a top notch dairy herd of LaMancha goats along with always improving our poultry endeavors.

  We lived for 15 years on an acre of mostly wooded swamp where we raised rabbits, goats, geese, guineas, chickens, dogs and a cat. We also had some interesting visitors from time to time. A potbellied pig foraged around for about a week. Three half grown hogs (pink, not wild ones) visited a couple times. Wild turkeys would fly over once in a while. Then there was the very large alligator snapping turtle that was just passing through. We let it do whatever it wanted.

 Just over 9 years ago we moved to a 10 acre cotton field. The family that had owned the land could recall stories about the use of mules to work the fields hence the choice of my title for this blog.

 We have had a lot of adventures and gained much knowledge that I will attempt to share with you.

 Check back often.
