Mike's Story
Hmmmmmm... Took my daughters back to Hesperia last month, its been over 20 years since i'd been back. Has it changed! I don't think you could hunt quail on main street any more!
After high school I went to Modesto Junior College and Utah State University studied dairy science. Started, built and sold a computer repair company in Riverside, California Digital Systems. Started my first dairy in Washington State after that. I've had dairy farms in five different states and one very large hog farm in Oklahoma. Finally retired.
Now my three daughters, Kara (20), Valerie (18...Expand for more
), and Elizabeth (16) want me to build them a dairy/cheese plant to help them get started in the dairy business.
Life has gone by very quick! Val and Liz show pigs all over the western states in 4-H and Kara is busy with college and paegents in California. We travel nearly every weekend. Busy, busy!
Today we are searching for land for them in two states. Washington and Texas.

UPDATE:
Finally settled on California. Girls love the weather here. Building a new dairy. Busy with our Plums, Apricots and Orange orchards. Raising teenage girls as a single dad rocks! Lol.
