Get To Know Us

Hi y'all! We're Scott and Jeanalin. We have been married 20 years and have two teenage boys. Our mission and vision is to help educate the community to understand how to utilize the land they have. We are zoned to have 20 chickens and 2 large livestock. I am a crazy chicken lady that rezoned my property to have 30 chickens. Our goal is to buy our neighbors land to expand our cow cuddle experience as we see the pure joy our cows provide to the community. 

To help us afford our homestead lifestyle, we land hack (rent some land out to neighbors to park their RV's, boats, and toys) and house hack, (we rent a portion of our home, our attached casita out for midterm furnished rentals). These two hacks help pay for half of our mortgage, some months even more than half. 

Currently, Scottie and I both got our real estate license to help our friends, family, the community to invest, buy and or sell their homes. We have a unique investment portfolio that includes, 3 live in flips, 1 flip, 3 syndications for multifamily as LP's, 1 long term rental, and 1 midterm rental. As limited Partners, we invest in a portfolio of Crunch Fitness Gyms across Southern CA, a Gas & Oil company in Corpus Christie, and a documentary that is being filmed and edited, at the moment it is being shopped around major streaming platforms.

We also partnered with another family that ran and operated a memory care home for 5 years serving the senior community. We sold that business in 2023 and opened an investment company doing wholesaling and flipping homes revitalizing the Las Vegas community. 

We sell, barter, and donate eggs to the community, and we have a few dogs that are therapy trained. We found joy in seeing the community come over to hang with our animals. The cow cuddle idea came to us by accident as so many people reached out to us wanting to meet Johnny Cash. I documented the whole journey on bidding on him, us learning how to care for cattle, us building out the bullpen, then finally picking him up. So we decided to try cow cuddles at a farmers market and it was a huge success. 

We have no livestock experience, both Scottie and my families did not come from farming backgrounds so we had to learn from the ground up. I thoroughly enjoy filming content, so I started to film my journey of learning how to homestead. I went down a rabbit hole on how to cure my lupus and dipped my feet wet first by Scottie getting me 4 chickens, haha. Ya'll know that is the gateway drug to more chickens and animals. LOL! 

Sounds glamorous, right? Well, we want to also share that both Scottie and I did not come from a lot. We both came from single parent households and our parents struggled. My Mom was on welfare, food stamps, and section 8. I really feel God wants us to share our story more to help inspire others. When Scottie and I got married, we slept on an air mattress for 4 months and bought all used furniture for $100 that a fellow Marine was basically donating to us. 

Scottie and I lost both of our parents, he lost his Mom to breast cancer when he was only 4 years old. So his Dad had to care for him and his brothers. Unfortunately, his Dad lost his battle with lung cancer in Sept. 2016. I lost my Dad to a heart attack in Sept. 2009 and my Mom to severe cirrhosis in Feb. 2011. She was an alcoholic, and I took my parents passing hard because it was so close together. They were both 50 years old and at the time I was 27 turning 28. So both of our kids don't have that extra set of love that only grandparents can give. My heart aches for my boys but we are trying to raise them the best we can. 

Scottie did 3 deployments and on his last one, we had kids. He said it was hard for him coming home and the boys were so young, they were scared of him not knowing who he was. So Scottie decided to get out the military and we prayed on where we were going to plant our family. Since we were stationed in Twenty Nine Palms, Vegas seemed close and affordable. So here we are! 

Scottie eventually went to school to become a nurse and he was a covid travel nurse for a year. We sacrificed our time together to help change the trajectory of our future since travel covid nurses were making baaaannk! Haha! I like to say I turned him into my sugar daddy. Scottie actually quit nursing back in 2023 because he was burnt out. So we put all our eggs in a basket and went all in on real estate and homesteading. 

My husband has PTSD from serving in the Marine Corps as an 0331 Machine Gunner. He went on two tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. He served 8 years in the military. Also, one of our dogs is also service trained for Scottie.

I have depression and anxiety from losing my Dad, both Grandpas, and my Mom in a year and a half. Right after my Mom passed away, Scottie got deployed and I had to care for our two boys. At the time, Adrian was 2 ½ years old and Kyson was 6 months old, the Marine Corps gave me equine therapy and I volunteered at a horse sanctuary during his deployment. I loved it so much I continued to volunteer there during our 2 years being stationed in Twenty Nine Palms. I was the head volunteer there and even helped with their fundraiser initiatives.

God has been tugging at my heart to share our homestead with the community. More so through our animals. I have been praying what he wants us to do with this property. So I am walking by faith and sharing our journey. Your prayers and support would mean the world as we navigate this new adventure. 

Also, through the process of getting some of our dogs therapy trained and volunteering with the community we decided to go all in to get a cow (steer) and a mini horse. Our vision is to spread joy through cow cuddles (steer smooches), equine therapy, feeding our tortoises, hanging with our flock and puppy love. We plan to offer free therapy services to disabled veterans, but we would kindly ask for donations for those who want private sessions with our animals, photoshoots, or rent them for parties as we would be there monitoring and educating.

UPDATE: I found out I am allergic to horses so unfortunately we had to rehome our mini horse. So crazy as I was never allergic to horses. I took all the tests and tried all the meds but my body was majorly allergic. We donated our boy to an equine horse rescue that does horse assisted therapy. We are so grateful he's in good hands. We ended up getting our future milk cow, Holy. She is a dexter and the sweetest but spicy little button. 

We feel our animals saved our mental health and we want to share that joy with the community!
