Hi friend! 

Hi friends!  Today we’re talking about sustainability, how to evaluate options to determine which ones are most sustainable long-term and how that will help you increase your future self-sufficiency.  We’ll be talking about a sustainability mindset as it relates to your home, food, and especially livestock.

Hi friend! 

Today we’re talking about lessons learned raising 4-H livestock over the last decade, and how those same lessons apply to raising livestock for food, homesteading, and self-sufficiency.  We’ll be talking about the way we approach the 4-H livestock program, which tends to be quite different than others, but it’s resulted in a lot of success for us, and how we use those same things we’ve learned to fast-track our progress raising livestock and growing the homestead.

All the Best!

Hi, friend!

Today we are talking about the most important nutrient for all livestock… WATER!  It seems simple enough, but keeping adequate water available to your animals through all the seasons can be quite challenging.  I’ll be sharing some tips to manage water efficiently as well as explain how we do it off-grid!

Hi, friend!

Today we’re taking a hard look at our livestock and evaluating to see if we should keep going or change directions with each herd or animal.  I give you six areas to evaluate and then walk through the process with our show goat herd.  Do we keep the show goats or sell them?  You’ll leave with a plan to assess each of your livestock animals and decide their future on your farm or homestead!

All the Best!

Hi, friend!

I often hear aspiring homesteaders ask “How do you pay for all of this?  It’s so expensive!  I could never afford to do that.”

There’s some truth in those statements, raising livestock CAN be expensive, but if you get creative and stick with your plan, you can make some adjustments in what you’re already doing that will make a BIG financial difference.

Today I’m sharing a strategy that we have been using for years to cover the costs of raising livestock for food, and even making a little money to put back into homestead projects!

From the Homestead,
