My guys

My two favorite guys! My son, Tyler, is attending U of W Whitewater, and my hubby, Mike, works with me at Davis Welding and is the reason I am a ridiculously happy woman.
I'm a lucky woman.

It's always fun to see the other members of a blogger's family (as well as the blogger!); thanks for sharing.

Nice picture, Kelly. Happiness is a really good thing, and it spreads to others! Grown-up kids are a delight.

He who angers you, controls you.

And my favorite.......You can't control what others say or do, but you can control your reaction.

About us

We live close to the IL/WI border, almost perfectly centered in the state. Our farm is 4 miles west of Monroe, WI and tucked back off the main road in a peaceful little valley.

We are home to a flock of Purebred Shetland sheep, 1 alpacas, 2 llamas, 3 horses, a flock of laying hens, a couple Maremma guardian dogs, our house dog, Tess and our 2 house cats.

We strive to raise all our animals using as little chemical input as we can manage, and part of our goal for the herd is to breed towards parasite resistance. All of our animals are treated with respect, kindness and love, and are free to graze and roam our pastures. Our main focus is on fiber animals, but horses are my first love, so we do a lot of trail riding as well.

Having a connection with the food, fiber and meat we raise is something that holds great value for my husband and myself, as well as making sure that the animals in our care are treated with kindness no matter where their journey may lead.

My focus for my Shetlands is to raise, soft, silky, fine-fleeced animals without disregarding conformation, mothering ability, hardiness and temperament. Our focus is polled, fine fleeced Registered Purebred Shetland sheep. But we also have a few crossbred sheep and pet or fiber sheep for sale.

I do sell some of my fiber, roving and yarn and have a limited number of Shetland pelts for sale. I am an avid knitter, and have just recently begun to spin and now addicted to that as well. Life is quite simply.......perfect!
