Hi friends! Today we're talking about lessons learned raising 4-H livestock over the last decade and how those same lessons apply to raising livestock for food, homesteading, and self-sufficiency. We'll be talking about the way we approach the 4-H livestock program, which tends to be quite different than other people, but it's resulted in a lot of success for us, and how we use those same things we've learned to fast track our progress raising livestock and growing the homestead.

Today is part two of the interview with my oldest daughter, Sage, who turned 18 in March and is finishing up her last year in 4-H. We talk about the lessons she's learned raising livestock, how it has affected her and her life view, the way it opens communication as we work together, and she even has a bit of advice for parents who want to give their kids the same experience. This is part two of two, and the first part aired last week. You don't want to miss this.
