We are looking toward north central. Price county-ish. Any advice on homesteading the frozen north?🙃

Your choice of county is a great area if you like wildlife. The national forests are beautiful. I haven't homesteaded much, but I would definitely recommend a greenhouse, and I don't think you would be able to plant as early as you might in Missouri. Also, as far as any stock goes, get breeds that are able to stand below-frozen temperatures and frost. For example, we got a mixed selection of chicken breeds one year, and lost several because of their long combs.
That is spectacular information! We have read about icelandic chickens. We are also talking about getting several newfoundland dogs!
That looks like a nice breed. We'll be getting chickens again come Spring, but we haven't decided on which yet; too many people in one household wanting different breeds! lol
I love Newfoundlands. We have a Pyrenees. :D
