(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My name is Jacob and my wife is Meagan and we are in our 20's and are expecting our first child next summer. I have 3 Nigerian dwarf goats and the smartest catahoula I have ever met (I might be biased) and her name is willow. I am a gunsmith she works at a school and we bought our first house 7 months ago. The property we live on used to be a fruit orchard so we are trying to create our own personal micro farm. Glad to be here.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found BYC on google when I was building my first coop and I finally joined because I have some questions about my girls egg production and that was what took me from thinking about joining to going for it.
