Welcome from Ohio! Love your place and your plans, and your garden produce is amazing! What varieties of tomatoes are those? And what are the little white things in the box with the tomatoes?

@Latestarter beat me to it, I was going to say that you can milk sheep - I have milked mine (not as much this year, working out some logistics). It tastes like good sweet cow's milk :)

Hey, just saw this thread.
Welcome to BYH (again??) from WV.

I would like to have many of those animals myself. (except also with a hatchery) :)

Oh, and also if you get goats you can make cajeta too!!

@Hens and Roos I am liking your angoras! :) They are beautiful. Where is Wisconsin are you?

@Alexz7272 Yay mini farms! I was thinking it would be fine to keep sheep and alpacas together. How much of your property do they roam on? What type of fencing? Electric?

We are just east of Cottage Grove. Thanks, they are a 4-H project for my kids and they are learning how to spin the fiber. Each rabbit has it's own personality. The white one in my avatar is my DS(11)'s buddy- Jack Frost

Thanks everyone! :)

I think if we get goats I will get Nubians. I like the bigger goat, and I also like the floppy ears. Goats kinda creep me out in looks, and I think Nubians are better looking to me.

*gets egged by all the goat lovers* sorry!!!

:lol: I have Nubians! I love them to death! Very high butterfat in the milk and mine's milk tastes like cows milk to me. I don't like cows milk though :hide.
