    Any Survivalists or Armed Forces people

    I'm working on a short story about a small group of people who band together after a post apocolyptic event and was wondering what are some of the things you'd really need to have to survive.

    Trees

    I need more trees or bushes in some of my pastures and was wondering if you guys had any advice on what kinds. We are in zone 5 and can get some rather tough winds in some storms. I will put up fencing around the new plants. Cattle and Horses will be the main livestock.

    Productive breed or cross

    Ok, I was reading the many posts and wondered if for pasture raising if there is a certain breed or cross that does better than the others. Size doesn't matter but we wouldn't want real slow growers. We wouldn't have any Boars just a couple gilts to start.
