- How often do you shear 'em?

- Once a year.

- Once a year.

What time a year?

- Late April.

Early May.

- Yeah.

So they got the summer coat on.

- Right.

- Okay.

And then do you process the hair?

Or does that go somewhere else?

- I average 40 to 50 animals at home.

So I process everything off my animals.

And then I also work with additional companies.

'cause I need to sell more than what I can produce to sustain everybody.

- Oh, gotcha.

Now your farm though, it's gotta be difficult to make money off of livestock that you can't sell to butcher, to market.

Right?

So you are actually adding kind of an agri-tourism part to your farm too.

- Agri-tourism is a big part of my business.

- Tell me about that.

- Oh, I have farm visits, individual visits, bus tours.

Sometimes I'm part of a mystery bus tour where they tell the people who buy the tickets the destination, but they don't tell the stops along the way.

- Oh.

- Which is always fun because people don't know where they're stopping.

And that's where I'm still in education.

My arena's just different.

My arena's the barn or set up at festivals
