I get asked all the time…how did FKF start?
Growing up we were a 1 pet household which mainly was an outside dog. So of coarse I got the…”when you grow up you can have all the animals you want”. I got married young, we had a cat and a dog. My husband’s family is from Florida so we went down to FL to visit and his granddaddy took us to the stockyard. I was hooked. I knew nothing about what I was getting into but I was ready! We didn’t have a fensed in area but I had a friend that did. Jokingly I called him and he agreed I could put all the animals I want in it as long as I took care of them.
It didn’t take long for us to have a herd of goats. I learned real quick how hard it was. I spent many of trips to the stockyard, sometimes by myself or even with a toddler. I loved it! But when I was pregnant with our second child, I realized that I just couldn’t handle the goats like I wanted to. Our goats were big boar goats. I ended up selling that herd. When we ended up deciding where we would build our forever home, off to buy goats I went. 🤣
We fenced in a big area so I could literally have as many as I wanted. I started with 4 goats. Which is how I got the name…I prayed and prayed I would come up with the right name and it clicked…I have 4 kids and my little farm started with 4 goats and baby goats are called kids. Lo and behold…Four Kids’ Farms was born.
God ended up having a different plan. So i had to move the fence to our current home but I brought the goats right along too. This journey started with goats, chickens, big dogs and because of my health problems…I have moved to smaller dogs.
I normally take a waitlist prior to breeding just to make sure most of the pups will already have a family when born. If you know me then you know I stress over everything. So my current litters, families on my waitlist have decided to wait until another litter or have back out all together. So I’ve stressed. My husband has been working a lot and has been out of town, the kids are wild so I’ve been stressing. It’s been on my mind lately, am I fulfilling my purpose? Am I doing what I am supposed to?
One afternoon as all these thoughts were in my head, one of the kids said look mama! I said, I see you God! I love God winks like these. 💖
