| A dream come true. With much work and dedication to details; I am where I want to be. This modern state of the art kennel is right across my driveway from my home and it is my home for the day. We use the most up to date monitoring system to keep close eye on what is going on in the kennel after we have retired for the day. This system allows me to watch them from my computer in my home. Our babies; their sires and dams have all the comfort and care that can be given with climate controlled, clean facilities. I employ full time help so that all the little ones have the personal attention that they require to be happy and healthy when they arrive at your home. We enjoy a large office and grooming area; it makes the work a breeze. Please consider a Back Forty Puppy to be your next companion and know that if you let me send you a puppy; it will be what your expecting. Bred for loving from Champion bloodlines. Take a look at the kennel |
| A big hello from here in Central MS. I'm Fran and he's Billy Joe. We are the proud owners of Back Forty Farm and Kennel. People ask me where did the name come from? My dad had 40 acres on the back of his property that he always referred to as the Back Forty. Not too many years after we married; Billy Joe and I purchased this piece of land; and have since referred to it as such. We have indeed come along way baby. The Back Forty is a rather large farm as we have added more acreage over the years. Our primary operation consist of 6 huge poultry houses; 50' x 500'; and a sizeable herd of beef cattle. The two operations compliment each other. It's hard; honest work and the Lord has truly Blessed us. |
| Picture taken May 2007. We don't get away often and we have long wanted to do a cruise to Alaska. This was nice and very picturesque; the trip of a lifetime and one I'd love to do again if time allows and old age doesn't see fit to stop us. |
| True love and devotion to each other is hard to find. Billy Joe and I celebrated 48 years of marriage Jan. 11, 2013. We have been blessed to enjoy being with one another; working together at something we both love. We go to the American Legion dancing every Sat. nite if all is well in the kennel and on the farm. Great country music and time for us to take our minds off what we didn't get done this week or what we need to do tomorrow. We look forward to our Date night. :-). God is Good. |
| Date night; having a great time bringing in the New Year 2010. |
| After being off a motorcycle for 20 yrs; here we are. Some folks buy motor homes; we are back to riding. We don't have a lot of play time but we manage to ride here and there. Billy Joe said he just didn't remember how much he loved it. We are members of the American Legion Riders here at Post 112 in Jackson MS. We do a lot of benefit rides for battered and abused children and escorts for our military service men and women. Those killed in action or just the deceased veterans. We do send off escorts and welcome home meet and greets at the airport. Normally one bike is enough. Billy Joe started having some severe back pain, hip pain going down his leg & was concerned that he might couldn't get his foot down in time to keep us from falling. We love the bike so much and didn't want to give it up so we purchased a 2011 Harley TriGlid in Oct. of 2010. With some relief for his back pain we will ride both. My son that lives here on the farm with us is sure proud this is a 2 bike family. He and his wife ride the Trike more than we do. :-) |
