The cow I once begged someone to put a price on has now given me five heifers. This latest one arrived just in time for my birthday and reminded me why some of the purchases you second guess the most end up being the ones you’re most thankful you made.

I started farming because I thought it would be my escape from the system. What began as a dream of homesteading slowly became a business, and somewhere along the way I realized I had built the very life I was trying to escape.
