Some page updates are in order! Once details are settled, I’ll worry about that... busy, busy, busy for now.

Renegade North is MOVING! Goodbye Minnesota, hello Michigan! To be specific, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; to be more specific, outskirts of Marquette (crossroads vicinity). Being a full-blood Yooper, this move is the 5-year plan that took 12-years. I’m just a bit too dedicated to my career to settle for a less than ideal opportunity, after all, I spend a great deal of time there. I love what I do (engineer for the power company), so the right job was worth it waiting for.

One thing I LOVE about the U.P. - roadside waterfalls!

Folks ask: “are you moving ALL your goats?!” That’s an easy YES! I have way too much invested in my herd: years of LA & DHIR, clean disease tests, and MY herd name all over the papers. I am proud of what I’m seeing in every subsequent generation and the results of pairings are increasingly predictable. Starting over is not something I’m interested in. Sure, I could cut numbers further, but what is the difference in moving 47 instead of 37 animals? Plus, the stress of finding homes for what were ‘keepers’ is unneeded... it’s just easier to move them. We are very excited!

I’m sure glad for our Anatolian shepherds, Black & Blue... while driving to work the other morning, a bear crossed the road a few miles from the new ‘pending’ homestead. Time to earn your keep boys!
