Let’s talk about those Livestock Guardian Dogs! Tara and Steph are fascinated by these big beautiful beasts and the purpose they serve in the farming and ranching industry. We do a short LGD intro and then dive into 6 of our favorite breeds!
Our shout out this week goes to Backyard Garden Seeds! We love supporting amazing small seed companies, and this one is truly a stand out! Check them out at Home and Garden | Backyard Garden Seeds
