You are invited to join me for four affordable, hands-on classes at the farm. Each class is 8-11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings for two weeks. The next class starts July 10 and is limited to five students, ensuring personal attention from the cattle and me. Uou do need to love cows and have boots that can get dirty.

Before you switch your dog to a new diet, please consult a veterinarian. I'm not a vet or a dietitian, just someone with a common-sense notion of what to feed my dog.
