Stay away from any places that have those type of ordinances if you can. They will wind up amending them in the future when they get their first complaint about a sheep or goat that got loose. If they allow horses, then what about donkeys? Can you imagine what a hullaballou there would be over a donkey braying? The roosters are because of the noise/crowing, early in the morning. God forbid anyone has to be woken up before daylight.
Most of those ordinances are for the whole lot that you have, regardless of the number of acres. The "lot" is considered the unit. But if it says 4 per acre on a 2 acre lot them maybe not. Really, try to find something that is not in a restricted place.

i prefer not to live in any city limits personally. the Yorktown homes we looking at dont have ordinances. neither does Lewisville thats the one in the middle of now were the other in poth would be temporary until we could afford to move to another area but would allow my husband to work in kennedy however i told him we could rent but that limits the animals no matter what on that.

I just scrolled down to the "buy, sell, trade" forum, and don't see your ornaments anywhere. Are you just showing off? Teasing us? Or just waiting for those of us "worthy" of these treasures to be determined? :D =D:pop yeah, I know Christmas is over, but there's NEXT year to prepare for.

And @Mini Horses you asked about goats. I tried this yesterday - do you think it works?

Oh, my goodness!! Absolutely!!! How adorable they all are.

I couldn't get the pictures to open in your post BUT when I tap on the quote in Xerodes, it opened!! What talent you have there.!!

Speaking of goats --- Went out to feed this AM and NO goats. WHAT??? 14 does gone. One had opened the gate (yes one can and I keep 2 different latches on there & had failed to engage the second yesterday after leaving out) -- I quickly surveyed the hay field across the road, nope. My yard, nope. the fields on either side (which they rarely enter) -- another NOPE.

Then, "when all else fails", I banged on their feed trough and hollered! 2X and I herd the bleats -- getting closer....there they were in the mares pasture. They were happy to come thru the gate I opened for them and scampered off to their troughs -- "Good morning, mom. We were looking for you! Just browsing until you cam out."

It pays to teach them to come for feed. :old
