That's amazing.

I always have a really, really hard time answering that.

I mean, I don't know.

10 years from now, I don't know if I'm going to be slowing down and Ophelia is going to have to start taking over more of the farm.

I hope I can hold on as long as I can and keep running it.

Just so long as my wife can eat ribeye and filet and...

my daughter can get nourished properly on all the protein that we raise on the farm every day.

That's success and happiness in a whole for me.

And I'm physically healthy enough to keep up with running it, which I don't show any signs of slowing down yet.

stuff you guys raise and grow i mean all of our pork beef venison eggs all grown or all raised by me and then the chicken that we get are from some good friends that i i barter my beef with um

Yeah.

I set out to be able to produce and provide like all of our protein and then sell some of the excess.

Where do you primarily sell it at?

Right now we're at Radius.

There's a burrito truck in Dripping Springs that also buys a lot of my stuff that sells.

And I have a good deal of just private customers in the area that I sell to as well individually, which I think I prefer doing that.

It's more fulfilling for me to have good relationships with the people that are

enjoying the products that I'm raising because I really don't produce that much meat at the end of the day.

What are you going through?

A lot of the time, I'm just letting my mind go just kind of blank, to be honest with you.
