Sheri Dixon

 

Sheri Dixon grew up a city girl in Racine, Wisconsin, and moved to the country as soon as she could.

After 7 years enduring the bitter winters as a small homesteader in Wisconsin, she got smart and moved the whole shebang to East Texas.

  

Sheri is married to a VERY understanding and

patient husband, has 3 children, and is currently homesteading on several acres of piney-woods, in a 100+ year-old farmhouse that she and her husband renovated.

 

The menagerie currently includes 1 Barbados ram, 2
Arabian horses, 7 Nubian dairy goats, 8 assorted dogs,
4 porch cats, a flock of guinea hens, roughly 4 dozen
pedigreed longhaired guinea pigs and a rooster named
Larry.

 

   Sheri manages an Animal Emergency Clinic for 19
area Veterinarians and owns her own business, Grinning
