Goals, Values, Vision

I grew up in central Wisconsin on a dairy farm. I worked in dairy with my spouse for 10 years until our divorce in 2017.  Having remarried, am looking to get back to my roots and having cows again. I am not looking to be the biggest farm, just have enough to support the three adults, myself, my husband, and my MIL.
