Chillin' with the herd
Hello all! I have a quick question about acres for a future herd. Here is the list of what I hope to soon have: 2 mini cows, 1 yak, 4 sheep, 2 llamas, 4 alpacas, 1 goat, 2 mini pigs, 2-4 horses, 8 hens (4 standard, 4 bantam), 8 ducks, 8 turkeys, 2 geese, 20 quail, and if aquirable and allowed 1 camel. I am ok with supplimenting feeds etc and of course the animals will all be bought over a period of time, but I just wanted a general idea on what size of a ranch I should be looking for. Currently we are in southern Colorado, so fairly dry and bipolar weather (hot/cold in any season), however if we are offered a job position in Nevada, we will be moving there. I wanted to start looking for places soon, and yes we are buying so I need a good starting point in regards of size. I will be rotating pastures as well. Thank you for any advice you have!
