We got our goats from Borden, Indiana; we have 13 acres and it’s too flat for a shooting range, although if I aim in the right directions, I’ll miss the neighbor’s houses by 1000’s of feet.

The WRONG way, and I’ve only about 760 feet from my barn to the closest house; even though it’s hard to see for the trees.

We had a dry pond with a treed perimeter. The bottom of the bowl was maybe 20 feet deep. One of the banks was almost perfect. Also; from the ramp behind the house to the edge of the trees was exactly 40 yards. All of my short range guns were sighted in to 40 yards. The driveway was 700 feet long - I had a John Deere 460 with a 4' plow with chains that was inadequate one or two days a year to keep the driveway open. The house was very well ventilated with Pella windows which were also great insulators. Normally with the winds, we were able to keep the AC off except for maybe 7-10 days per summer. A corn burning stove with dual thermostats with the propane furnace heated most adequately.

I see you guys are down by Louisville. Better weather than where we were north of Fort Wayne.
