[Sheep Baaing] Having a bit more interaction with animals where your food comes from.

I think that it gives you a really good sense of where you are in the universe, when you can see, the nature and the interaction of the animals with the people.

I'm Paula Dorsey.

We're here at New Wales Farm in Two Harbors, Minnesota.

We are beginning homesteaders that are trying to be self-sufficient and raise our own food.

We got our first animals in 2019.

That was our four starter goats and we've grown since then.

We've added two other breeds of goats.

We've added two breeds of sheep and then the yaks.

And then, of course, all the different birds that we have the chickens, the turkeys, the ducks.

I wouldn't trade it for anything, but it's been a wonderful journey and a great challenge and stresses at times.

But all in all, I think it's been very positive and a very good experience.
