Brady's always wanted a farm and when we got this property that was his plan. Between work and the kids it never really happened till now he decides he wants to be a quadriplegic farmer.

I come home yesterday from getting my nails done and Brady tells me he needs to show me something in the barn. We get out there and I open the barn to find not one but TWO cows and a goat along with our two ponies. I think he's officially lost his mind, he's turning us in to the farmer in the dell lol. In the span of 2 years we've went from no animals to having eight (2 ponies, 2 cows, 2 cats, a dog and a goat). It has been good for the kids to learned responisibility, I never know what he'll come up with next ( one of the things I love most about him).

Brady is a riot. Good thing you got kids.

I think Brady has the right attitude, and it sounds like your life will never be dull with him around. Wish I had a Brady.

There is never a dull moment with Brady, it's the best. When I met him at 16 I was the most sheltered person by our second date he had me on a dirt bike and by our third I broke my elbow.

What do you say when you come home to not one but two cows and a goat? Hilarius......however, we just got two sugar gliders and I think that is all I can handle right now!

A couple of years ago I saw a documentary entitled "When Pigs Fly." It's about a quad woman here in Florida who has a pig rescue farm (apparently pigs need rescuring, that's a whole 'nuther topic I guess). I can't remember how many she had - 50? 100? And she allowed them to roam free IN and outside her home.

Crazy thing was, I remember her saying she had never had any kind of infection.

Be thankful Brady doesn't want to raise camels or something!

It's all fun until you realize, someone has to care for all these animals!!

Um, hate to say it, but 2 cows and a goat doesn't exactly = farm

Go Bradly!, I too now feel like a farmer, & my goal at the mo is building on my flock of 7 Whiltshire sheep, all 100% self shedding, so no shearing. (they're a quad's dream breed - excuse me, I'm salivating!) I've also got 3 cows, 3 horses, & 2 house dogs, on 20acrs. Animals make for a great life in the country, the more the merrier. I'd love to have chickens & pigs, but they need tending daily, & 2 dogs is quite enough for any carer. I'm lucky that my primary carer is my son...feeding the dogs has always been, & still is a love of his.
A huge to our kids.

Good for Brady!! And good for you!!


Inspires me to continue to grow my own...preSCI, we had 2 horses, 3 goats, dog, cat, 100 Koi (had to put down my beautiful black Tennessee Walker and 2 goats died)...had planned on getting a few Gypsy Cobs and breeding them...plans on hold for now, but HEY! You really did inspire me!

Now, if I could just pave the way back out to the barn...
