Start in 1997 with 24 acres; 6 in hay and 18 in corn (someone elses). Had house built in 1998, reduce to 6 acres hay and 14 acres corn (again someone elses). 2000 built chicken coop and added 100 chickens, Fall 2000 head-on collision and disable for half a year. Summer of 2001 added 10 ewes and 1 ram (still no barn). 2002 added 50 turkeys and started converting all row crop land to hay. 2003 refinanced to buy pole barn with equity from house. By 2005 grew to 34 ewes, 150 chickens and 75 turkeys. August 2005, heart stopped working. Family dispursed all livestock but 5 shetland ewes. Recovered in 2006 and started over. 2005, purchase hay equipement, so don't have to rely on nieghbor to finish his first. Now have 3 turkeys, 7 hens, 14 ewes with lambs coming next month. 2007 is going to be a very good year! Wife wants to get a few pigs to breed!
