My goal for this property is to own animals for profit as well as enjoying them as pets. Right now, I have four dogs, six cats, a few chickens and two young bottle calves. I hope to expand to pigs, goats and who knows what else.
This is a view of my back yard from my deck. It's one of the things I love most about the property.
I also want to have a big enough garden to provide vegetables to last all year. I plan to build a small orchard as well.
My hope with this blog is that as I tell the stories of what I'm doing, the successes along with the failures and mistakes, that others will enjoy my tales and maybe even learn something for their own dreams. I also hope to hear from readers who may offer valuable input on what I'm doing.
Make sure that when you get your goats that you get them in pairs as they are herd animals and need each other to survive.
ReplyDeleteI actually have five now, and I learned that even the bucks want a friend. I have two bucks together and three doelings. They will have their first babies in the spring, which will be a learning experience.
