Just to introduce myself...I'm 56, married 36 years and live with my hubby and 2 of my 3 sons on our hobby farm in the interlake area of Manitoba.
We've cut back from 35+ beef cows and now have a new (slow) startup in black angus with a bull and 3 cows so far. The cows are angus cross (brockle face) and we would like to build the herd up again to about 20 cows only. We also have 15 horses which is about 5 too many but how do you choose...so we just won't add to their numbers and since the oldest is 9...they'll be with us for awhile.
I've had rhode island reds in the past and we're contemplating getting a dozen in the spring again. Other than that...just the usual dogs and cats around the farm.
We buy all our hay as our 2 quarter sections are just for pasture and we have such a short growing season so gardening isn't right up there either. I believe we're in zone 3.
Hobbies are needlepoint, cross stitch, photography, and generally just hanging around with my animals. I also collect all sorts of things.
Guess thats about it for me, looking forward to getting to know you all.
