Hello from Missouri

Hello! I am new to the group and to goat ownership. In fact, I'm anxiously awaiting to hear if our bid was accepted for the farm we hope to purchase in Gerald, MO. My family currently has a small alpaca herd that we board and horses (also boarded).  I'm happy to have found this forum! I'm sure it'll be invaluable over the upcoming months.

  • Hi Lori! Welcome to the group and it's nice to meet you, too. :O)
  • Hi, I'm new here too! Nice to meet you, good luck on the farm!
  • The Ozark "Mountains" are beautiful! I know they're technically plateaus, but I grew up calling them mountains. :O)
     My family is orginally from the Ava area. That's east of West Plains. I think it's breathtaking around there, but I'm biased. LandsofMissouri.com is another good site to find property on. Good luck!

    Thank you so much for the response Heather!  We have been discussing this exact method of managing the possibility of tornadoes :)  Our real estate browsing has been through Realtor.com & Unitedcountry.com & we keep falling in love with properties in the West Plains area.  That would be great if you would be willing to answer some questions, etc. once we get closer to our move!  We are not working with a Realtor - yet.  Thank You Again.......Danielle (and Randy)

    Danielle,

     

    When I was a kid, I desperately wanted out of Missouri--it wasn't exciting enough. :O) Now, I can't imagine living anywhere else. It's a beautiful state with land deals you won't find anywhere else. I love it here.

     

    I do have a healthy respect for tornadoes, but as long as you have a basement, you learn which nights it's best to just hang out down there instead of pushing your luck. If you do decide to make the jump, let me know. Maybe I can answer questions about some of the different areas or help you find a real estate agent.

     

    Good luck on your decision!

    Welcome to the group.  We are currently in Upstate New York but have been seriously considering a move to MO!  My husband works throughout the USA so the move has already been "approved" by the owner of his company.  The only thing that is holding us back is our fear of  Tornadoes..............!!
