This is my place. Trailer was replaced with a house in '93 and a 2 story hay/ livestock barn added in '96.

Hi Jim,
What kind of livestock do you have on the property? What has been your favorite change you've made to the property?

Hi Alexis, thank you for your interest. At the time this photo was taken we had a few cow/calf pairs. In '96 we built a 44x48 2 story hay/livestock barn straight up from the left corner of the building in the photo, at that time we switched to Holsteins on a bottle. In 2000 we switched to goats, to sheep in '07 and finally to finishing steers for beef in '17. We also raise hogs and chickens, both meat and layers.
Hindsight is 20/20 and looking back would change/rearrange everything but the hay/cattle barn, we got that right the first time!
