We are a small family farm located about 20 miles north of Billings, MT. We bought the place in April 2005, moving from a small cottage style house in the outskirts of Billings. Wanting a place for our family of four to grow up and be able to raise a few animals along the way, we found this house on ten acres of irrigated pasture. The land had been used hard by the previous owners as they had about 10 horses on it. The house was in good shape, but the land, outbuildings, and fencing needed some serious work.
We've always wanted a little elbow room and some animals, so that April, we took possession and started moving in. Of course, on moving day it had snowed about 3-4 inches and everything was a sloppy mess.
That spring, we bought our first animals: chickens. We bought 10 Deleware White hens, 10 Rhode Island hens and 1 rooster. We had always wanted chickens and they always remain one of my favorite animals. We then got a older minature horse for our two girls and a couple of faining goats for some weed control.
