Farmers raise cows on farms, ranches and dairies
Our farm is a small family owned farm while many farms are run by big corporations. On our farm our animals get the best of care, because they are our lively hood. If we don’t take good care of our animals we cannot sale them, and if we can’t sell them we don’t get paid.
Farming is a busy and hard way of life with many challenges. We battle the weather, bugs, rising cost of production, and many other things. We work hard with the hope for good prices when we sell the products we produce. But to us farming is our way of life and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
A little about our farm
I love farming and enjoy the animals and the crops we raise. Yes I admit I do get emotionally attached to some of the animals I raise. That is why I have a 17 year old goat named Grandma Cookie and had a 15 year old rooster named Harold. Some of my animals just retire here.
Declining family farms
With the decline of family farms many people have stepped away from small town living and have moved to the city. They have forgotten the importance of farming and where their food comes from.
That mouth watering steak or tasty hamburger, fresh from your BBQ grill is not the only product produced from a cow. When ask where the food we eat comes from old and young alike answer “The Grocery Store.” People have forgotten where their food really comes from.
Where does your food come from?
But where does your food come from before the grocery store? It comes from ranches and farms like ours. Not only beef but every product you eat comes from a farm, ranch or dairy, unless of course you have produced it yourself.
