  • Summary

  • Are you concerned about the quality, safety, and security of the food supply? Do you worry that chemicals and additives are affecting you and your family’s health? Are you longing to raise more of your own food but don’t know where to start? Do you wish there was a simple way to get started raising your own animals for food? Hi, I’m Millie. Animal Scientist, cattle girl turned goat rancher, co-owner of Dry Creek Livestock, and simple living enthusiast. Fifteen years ago, my health took a turn for the worse and I was physically unable to be the mom and wife I wanted to be, so I put my researcher mind to work and discovered that chemicals in our food supply were causing my problems. I removed them from my diet, and gradually my health and mobility were restored. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to raise all of our own meat, eggs, and dairy. I’ve put three decades of experience and a Master’s Degree in Animal Science together to simplify the process of raising livestock for food and create simple systems that work, and I’m ready to share it with you! In this podcast, you will find simple instructions for sustainable, small-scale livestock husbandry, how to develop management systems that will keep you and your animals happy and healthy, and a plan to create food freedom by raising your own livestock for food. My mission is to teach you how to confidently raise livestock and give them the best life possible while fulfilling their ultimate purpose -- nourishing your family. Let’s ditch the overwhelm and bring home those goats and chickens! If you’re ready to take control of your food supply, raise livestock with confidence, and provide your family with the most nourishing meat, eggs, and dairy available, you’re in the right place! Kick off your muck boots, pour a cup of coffee, and let’s talk livestock! Email us: drycreekgoats@gmail.com See what’s happening on the ranch: www.instagram.com/dry.creek.livestock

    05 | Homesteading and Money: The Simple Way to Pay for Your Homestead Livestock Doing What You Already Do
    May 13 2024

    Hi, friend!

    I often hear aspiring homesteaders ask “How do you pay for all of this? It’s so expensive! I could never afford to do that.”

    There’s some truth in those statements, raising livestock CAN be expensive, but if you get creative and stick with your plan, you can make some adjustments in what you’re already doing that will make a BIG financial difference.

    Today I’m sharing a strategy that we have been using for years to cover the costs of raising livestock for food, and even making a little money to put back into homestead projects!

    From the Homestead,

    Millie
