> making cheese for next year.  He wants to move

> attend school there.  He is open to a lot of 
> arrangements.  He is very kind and easy to work 
> with.  They also care for rescue race horses 
> which brings in a daily income and help with a 
> good grazing rotation with the sheep.  The land 
> base is limited but they are right on route 100 
> for good sales access.  His breeding stock is

> learn the cheese business right now.
