Exploring the pasture
Hey y'all, I don't own anything other than cats and dogs right now, but I'm saving up my money to get a house with some acreage in the next couple of years or so and to keep some a couple of donkeys and/or mules as companion animals as well as a small flock of chickens and maybe a few other creatures, too. I'm just looking to explore the community out here and learn as much as I can beforehand, and maybe make a couple of friends along the way
I know it's a long ways away, but at the moment I'm thinking I'll have a couple donkeys and maybe a mule, and five or six chickens. What other farm animals make good companion animals for casual/hobby herders? I've considered sheep or goats, and I know goats are much more sociable than sheep, but I haven't read up on keeping goats too much yet.
What are y'all's thoughts?
